Probably just flash from camera or bad lighting.

bit of both, its from my phone and a 40watt bulb in the livingroom, better for getting the kids to sleep lol.

same colour and i wanted a big window, ima put a sticker on the side where the hard drives are or maybe get a lazercut design on the glass/plastic. not decided yet, see how much this company want for it.
 
That orange is very nice indeed!

What was the process you used for prepping the painted area? did you sand it at all or is the paint self-etching?

Always wanteda bit of blue on my 690 !!!
 
the case was already treated and shiney so i dint need to sand anything on it, i just recoated it, this paint sticks to anything... montana white series is glossy and covers all surfaces so im sure its self etching :P

they do nice blue and have many dfferent kinds of spray, i got mines on Flee'bay
 
You did well to cut those curves by hand.

What sort of finish did the jigwas give?

would you say better or worse than a dremmel

also, how easy was it to get straight lines with the jigsaw. I tried once and mine were all over the place.
 
yeh straight enough, i just laminated the livingroom, bedroom and on-suite ast week so i had a lot of practice with the jiggy. i went slow so i could keep an eye on the blade, the edges were a lil shaggy but 2 or 3 pulls on each side with a flat smooth file.

aint got a dremil and not used one in about 5 years, had the jigsaw there and im pretty decent with them. Personally i would say jigsaw is better as u can start/stop without movin saw and its a smaller blade for doin the corners. But its what you prefer and what you feel more comfy with i suppose.

I really want to do something like this, but it would mean I'd have to buy a new case, then I don't have any spare bits to put in it...innit.
Could buy myself a small good miditower and do somthing...hmmmmmmmm
