thank u everyone....
but please, its NOT transformer lol
thats my attempt on getting a tribal design large enough to cover the side panel, yet simple enough coz i need a bigger bit to work something that large....
ok, maybe its ok if people think its from transformer coz that series rock! lol new movie?? the latest animation of transformer i saw originates from between 8 - 15 years ago.......
etching mostly done under the guidance of the nice people over at bit-tech.net mod forums... they got wicked etching there....
a little tip on etching probably is to do everything patiently. get everything as even as possible and slow as possible... the more time u put into it, the better the end result will be.
radiation effect is probably camera effect lol but getting everything on 1 colour theme will definitely add some effect to it (i.e. red=hot, blue=cold, green=alien, purple=.... well u get the idea), but the biggest contributor to that is the painted-red metal frame. my only pet peeve on that is the BLUE jingting fan.... i couldnt get a decent, quiet, 40mm fan with red led to replace it...
seeing in person will take away the radiation effect, but u will notice the fine brushed aluminium finish on the front panel and high quality paint job, both from silverstone..... I recommend their case any day

plus it burns smaller hole on ur wallet compared to Lian-Li's....
ps: im working on another silverstone, the lascala series, LC13, to match the theme with the main rig, but working on HTPC is a pain... hopefully i can get it done before winter comes.... but then again i never do *expert* modding or anything... just abit of dremel works and a few cans of spraypaint to get the theme i'm aiming for. so, @Dutch, my red case above was modded in a little under a week, about 2hrs/day, and the whole day on a saturday... mostly becoz i gotta wait for the paint to dry....
