    Need some themed window mod options

    Need some side panel themed window ideas to mod in with my dremel.

    Ive got 5 systems I need to put some fancyness to and I personally dont like square side windows but im looking for some ideas and/or links to graphics.

    I will be putting a dolphin side window in the first one as the case is labeled as a dolphin case with two tone color in the front, white and bue. Figured a nice blue cold cathode in there to finsh it off would be nice.

    Im including a pic of the dolphin silhouette I plan to dremel out to give an idea of what Im thinking. Will also post a pic of a previous horse theme side window mod I have done.

    Thanks all. Preferably no x-rated ideas.

    Interesting thought, hadnt considered that one. Will keep that in mind for my next personal system.

    These 5 I am planning on doing will be going to the flea market or some other such thing. Trying to judge some interest in the area.

    Okay, here is the dolphin half finished, just to again give anyone an idea what im looking for.

    If anyone has a good idea for a Sysopt window, post and let me know. I have a server here that needs a little jazzing up.

    Should the name go "left>right" or "up and down" or perhaps even "diagonal" Any additional graphics?. Any comments or suggestions welcome.

    The Dremel is warmed up and ready to rip. Got about 300 spare cutting discs and the urge to cut.

    Or a nice BIG smiley face.

    What sort of cold cathode light color. The all to familiar yellow, or perhaps ... GREEN.

    I'd go with green. How did that dolphin case come out?

    Turned out quite well, a bit smaller than it should have been perhaps but I just wanted it as a nice little accent, not something to take the side of the computer over. The light is ordered and on the way.

    My wife keeps telling me it looks more like a killer whale. I think she might be right. It almost needs another little something below it, a shell or a wave perhaps. Im thinking on it.

    I don't get into the whole dolphin thing too much, but it is well done. If anything you could put a smaller one underneath it to balance the whole thing out. Personally, I wouldn't. Its looking pretty good the way it is now.

    Just an update, the dolphin case is finished and soon to be sold. Got a buyer lined up. Was going to sell it as is but turns out the mobo has a bum onboard video chip. Got to replace the guts. Oh well.

    Got two cases showing up tomorrow so still looking for ideas.

    Okay, as another idea of what im looking for, check the google results link.

    Im leaning heavily towards the first one but some of the others are fine too. Lot of work there but would be spectacular when finished. Might have to buy me a middle end case and do that one for myself.

    google results



    I like the smiley face idea I just want something a bit more challenging.
