Nice case work...

Below is my main PC

Now that is a REAL mess :D

Side panels painted Nissan Leaf Green (metallic), doesn't show up with my digicam in room light. Haven't got round to doing the top and front yet.

[mackerel]

If you think that was bad, this is my kitchen... I need a KVM :D

[nitan]

cool...thanks for all the positive comments...i was thinking of doing mine a metalic colour...but i thot if i messed that up then it wud have looked really bad...so mackerel i think u have more ball$ that me...good luck in doing the rest of it...BTW u only saw my desk...u aint seen the state of the rest of the room!!!

nitan:)

[mackerel]

I did the metallic paint in less than ideal conditions... it wasin my garage on a cold wet winter day, exactly when they say not to do it. It looks good in bright light, but in room light it's a bit dark and dull. Maybe I should have chosen a lighter colour... also, I didn't lacquer it which I now realise is a mistake. The paint is easily damaged.

As for messes, you also haven't seen what's outside those shots :D

[nitan]

do u think i shud laquer mine...i dont want it to go glossy...i want it to stay satin black...jozzer told me that if i laquer it it will go really really shiney...dont want that...any suggestions guys...much appreciated...and BTW thanks to jozzer for sorting out and posting the pics for me:)...

nitan:)

[mackerel]

Lacquer is needed on metallic paint to give it the right finish. It will make your case glossy, so it's not for you in that sense.

[nitan]

ah ok...cool thanks for the info...

nitan :)

[nitan]

hey mackeral, just a question...in that last pic u posted i counted 5 keyboards!!...how many computers do u have in ur house!!...

nitan:)

[mackerel]

You missed one, there's 6 in that pic :D There's two on table, one on left, one under the table, and two in the front right.

Um... PC wise I have 4 in the kitchen, one sparc without keyboard attached, one in the front room and a laptop.

Elsewhere, I have an old laptop which is currently on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2002973309). It's one I couldn't GIVE away on the buy & sell forum, currently bids are up to 26 quid :D

Shortly I will be also auctioning P166@200 MMX bits. I also have another ancient sparc but I'm too lazy to sell that as it's too big and heavy for me to post.

I also had two other t-bird units hence the number of spare keyboards. I had to sell them to pay for some Mission speakers and a DVD player :p

Long term I could do with getting rid of more of these systems, and just stick with fewer faster ones...

[nitan]

lol...i missed the one under the table...lol...nice...wot do u do with them all?? or are some a little redundant?

nitan :)

[Baptizer]

Nice work on the paint job nitan......very nice!! Personally i would have painted it a more attractive color, preferably hot-pink or neon-green, but oh well..hehe

[nitan]

thanks man...lol...my housemate was saying he shud do his in cow print....lol...that wud be cool :D

nitan:)

[Bozo]

Where did you get the sticker of ninja micros from?

[Lolboy]

Give us a shout Mackerel when you wanna get shot of a laptop cos a mate of mine is after a cheapy. I may even collect it as your only a quick blat down the M4 from me.

Lolboy.

[nitan]

Bozo: i ordered it a while ago...i got mine off berks...but i dunno if they are still available...if they are u shud get one...they are sweet...hehe...

nitan :)

[dicki]

they were a limited edition run produced by the illustrious one ranger498 about a year ago... i guess we could do another run but i'd prefer a different design, i have 10 of the origionals and i want them to be unique :D

dicki

oh jozzer and nitan? can you keep the size of the pics down? remember all the poor guys on 56k modems

[mackerel]

Lolboy, I only have two laptops, one you wouldn't want (Win95 is a strugle), the other you wouldn't want to pay for :P

Nitan, you obviously haven't spent enough time in the distributed computing forums, there's no such thing as too many computers ;)

dicki, those files are around 40 kbytes each, so are not particularly huge even if they appear big. Mine were around 30+ kbytes each...

[4.6POWER]

awe thats a cool case nitan, except for that creative sticker!! Akk I hate creative... none of there stuff works right for me. Take that sticker off it's gonna jinx you! ;)

Joe

[nitan]
