Ok so i want to personalise my PC a bit and make it a more unique. Originally i was thinking of adding a side panel to my PC but i've decided against it for a number of reasons: I would probably mess it so ill leave it till i have more experience from modding. Also it seems a bit cliche and unoriginal if you ask me. So many people have it and it just loses the wow factor, unless the insides really look so good that you have to show it off. Not saying i'd never get one but for now there isn't really much to look at inside my PC so there isn't much point in fitting one :-p

Here's a link to my PC, looks a bit dusty mind:

Here's the inside:

Ok now to the point, im thinking of doing something a bit more original and something thats quite difficult. That is engraving. I plan to engrave a large dragon to one side, and as my case is black, it'll be a Black Dragon :D Then i plan to engrave my game name on top or something.

I intend to get a lot of practice with drawing the dragon and with engraving before i do it to my case because there really is no margin for error on the case. Here's my first sketch, i'll need to improve the head a bit:

Also feel free to make any suggestions to improve the pic, as ill be re-sketching it multiple times to improve the design and for practice.

Tool wise i plan to use a Dremel Engraver which is pretty cheap and i've read good reviews about it.

I'll post more pics as this project goes along :D
 
Has it? I haven't really seen that many people engrave, let alone using dragons as their design. Although Dragons do seem to be quite a popular theme. I just think its more fitting to engrave a Dragon on my case as it'll fit my game name, which is BlackDragon.
 
Yeh I'll give it to you, I don't think I've ever seen an engraving of a dragon on their case, only painted or etched in the window.
