OK folks,

Here's my latest custom computer built for my nephew, who's birthday is this coming Thursday - June 14th. It turned out decently enough - but I don't think I got all out of it that I could... ya know?

This machine is also kind of an example of what not to do when building a custom computer. First and foremost - Don't wait til the last minute to do it all... especially when you've had almost all year to get it done. Second, read all the directions on things like paint and stuff before applying and make sure the clear coat will actually work with the paint you choose. And finally, don't use something you want to actually turn out nice as a gift for someone else as an experimental platform - it creates way too much stress when you're not sure if you just messed up the whole tamale or actually discovered a new finish.

Here's a teaser picture:

I haven't actually put the link up on my site yet - I want to wait until after the birthday party, just in case he pokes around on my site and accidentally discovers his present.

I want that paint job


beautiful work me friend

Sweet case. Nice work.

That is awesome. I think I turned you into a real flamer though.

You have a true talent my friend.

Very nice, Eric. As always. The fact that you can turn out awesome art in multiple media makes you a true artist. 'Nuff said.

WANT ONE! WANT ONE!!!!!

Hold still and Ill give ya one.

No Biggie, i want one of those computers or at the very least - one that I can FEEL.

Oh burn. LOL.

Send me a case, and I'll see what I can do.

What if i send you a motorcycle gas tank instead?

He does wonders with those too.

Great work how did he like it?
