Lucio Themed Case Mod

[TraskJ]

I think this is in the right thread. It it isn't please let me know and I'll figure out how to move it! 

 

I have a very basic mATX case, with some mid-range hardware in it. I'm planning on picking up some RGB fans and RGB strips in order to give my case a green-yellow pulsing theme, like Lucio from Overwatch. I'm trying to decide what the best way is to add a Lucio (the character in Overwatch) theme to my build. Right now I'm leaning toward using a dremel tool to cut some variety of logo into the side of the case for the lights to shine through, and to show off the parts inside. I have two questions: will drilling into the side cause thermal problems? Also (and this one is more of a long shot, but might as well ask) can anyone recommend a design? The one I've linked won't work because of the eyes and mouth of the frog, but it conveys the general idea.

Technically speaking, you can simply have a vinyl made of that logo, and put it on a tempered glass side panel of any case of your choosing. Or, find a company that does glass etching, and have them etch that logo in it. It would have a smokey, less-transparent look on the design, but it would look pretty amazing. As for airflow, no, having cuts in the side panel shouldn't hurt airflow to any degree, just be mindful of your pressure (you want neutral or slightly positive) to keep dust from coming in to the case.

 

And it's obligatory that I say this... "Look at this build, it's gonna be great"
