I dont like that name anymore, it was seriously a 2 second thought, I didnt know it was going to be this popular

Any suggestions on a new name? I was thinking just plain no frills Project Black. If you can think of a snappy one which recognises this case is black/chrome/watercooled I will consider changing it to that.

Black Pearl?

nice modding m8

I like Black Pearl but I then thought of the name of the spray which was used which is Vauxhall Diamond/Midnight Black. Diamond flows quite nice.

Looking good Gurdas,
I don't know how you've had the patience to keep this project going.

Sirrel Squirrel · 11 Oct 2003 at 18:41

mazza7282 · 11 Oct 2003 at 18:43

finally, lol well yes hurry up and use MY DREMEL and take pic of entire thing so we can all bow,lol

matskiosaurus · 11 Oct 2003 at 20:03

lol, its still going! I thought you'd finished this ages ago

ironman · 11 Oct 2003 at 20:18

Andy, surprisingly, im not really a very patient person but when things need to be done properly, then the time needs to be put in. Im not bothered its taken this long really because ive been using the actual pc for weeks now so its just aesthetic touches needing finished.

lukep01, cant remember, check when the first post was made.

Myron, its not your dremel now is it, its Jims

matskiosaurus, the building of the system was done ages ago, just got these last few chrome parts back as I wasnt happy with it first time round.

Tomorrow will be cutting up of the mesh, installing cdrom drive, tidying up cables and jobs done.

Looking very sweet gurdas!

Nice to see you got those last parts back from the chromers. That aquadrive looks amazing.

Keep it up.

You can chrome aluminium it just is not going to be cheap. Normal practice with aluminium for a chrome like finish is to polish it and then laquer it. That is not going to be all that cheap either, however most metal finishers would do it for you.
Polished Aluminium does look very very good by the way.
