Fire Type Starter

[rainbrodash666]

I am working on a "sleeper" style computer starting with an old gateway tower, I am going to put a starter level gaming rig in it and do some airflow mods and other things. I have a few pictures of what I have done so far, (gutted it and stenciled charmander on the side pannel)

You had me at Charmander, I don't care what you put in it. It's a winner already.

I am thinking of doing the other 2 starters and maybe a shiny magikarp also

Love the Charmander!

So me and my Tin snips have been working on making some parts fit inside of the case, I had to drill new holes for the power supply because this case predates(or just does not use) the ATX psu mounting holes. and i also modded it to use a bigger fan on the back. I am using a 450 watt psu (I think) Now I hope that the motherboard standoffs are atx, or that will be one long tay of drilling and tapping holes.

Love the Charmander <3 but wow this is a really really really old case man. I haven't seen one since the early 2000s haha

tip, sand down the side panel (to remove a layer of the paint) pray with primer (1-3 layers) do a base coat then cut out the shape or spray over, then go to a shop and use some red transparent acrylic, stick it to the inside of the pannel, will look awesome with some red LED's

 

a good idea, would be to spray the entire thing red, then do the charmander in white or and only cut out the tail flame then do the acrylic on that

I'm taking a guess but it looks like something from AC/DC. It kinda looks like a AC/DC - Back in Black Vinyl

 

These guys lived in Burwood, NSW at one point, they're the next suburb over from me and they went to Ashfield Boys high, I went to the other boys highschool in Ashfield. Good ol' Accadacca

Yeah It had a slot mounted pentium 2 in it when I gutted it.

I would use my autobody skill on it but I want it to look like crap but perform well, the whole premise of a sleeper, the more it looks like something from mad max the better.

and why would I go to a shop to do acrylic work, I cut and installed the acrylic in my main rig in my backyard.
