Mods:
I had some extra time in my High School metals class and I was looking for a way that I could mod my case. I settled on the laser etcher, as it was the easiest to use and I figured it'd give some nice results.

I did two passes on it, as there was some paint left at the center of the etchings. After I was done, I wiped it down and sprayed a little glossy clear coat on it. I think that it's a nice, unique touch to my case.

Looks good, I want to learn how to do that.

I gave it A 10 just for the laser etching wish I had one of thiose in my high school 1985 lol. any way yes that case is all you.

 

[Random Murderer]

definitely looks professionally done, that's for sure. 8/10.

 

[asb2106]

congrats, that looks awesome! 10/10 for the etching!

EDIT : just to clarify I give you a 10 for the great looking etching! I wouldn't be impressed with that case otherwise(but the etching looks spectacular!)

I give you a 10 because: Razer (so do I) , AMD 64 (same here) and that Laser etching makes that case "one of a kind". Very nice. Is it expensive to do laser etching theese days? I know they did it on a motorcycle once (they etched in "Motor Harley Davidson 1903-2003")
-it was for their 100 anniversary.. But hey, more pics from the inside maybe??

 

[BullGod]

You got an 8 from me. The etching looks good but you kinda over did it. Can't blame you tho...

 

[NeoCrisis]

the etching looks great but i have to agree I think you went a little overboard
especially with the Crysis and MS gameXstudios you still get a 7/10 from me

 

[PVTCaboose1337]

I think the etching is awesome... I agree with the above comment tho... Crysis, was a little too much...

 

[Bjorn_Of_Iceland]

outstanding!

 

[technicks]

Very cool. I give you a 9 but only because i don't like the dragon sidepanel.
Otherwise i would have voted a 10. Very original.

 

[Joe_tiger27]

That's what I'm talkin 'bout

Awesome job! I never even thought about laser etching. If those had been stickers, you would have gotten reamed by everyone here. Instead, the etching looks classy and professional. Very impressed. It looks like all those companies are actually sponsoring your
rig like you're a pro or something. 9/10 - Great Job

Whats that ^ got to do with his case?

The lazer etching looks pimpin'.

 

[miksanity]

dude, if you can laser etch things at your school, what does that tell you about the school? it tells you its fcking BEAST

 

[Deleted member 24505]

I see now,sorry,but it just seemed to be a random statement.now i see what you was getting at.

If it was my school(pity i'm an old fart) i would be lazer etching every part of my case.

Thanks for the replies guys. As per your comments:

1) The Crysis logo is on there because that's the main reason I built my computer, to play Crysis. The MGS logo is on there because they've published most of the games I own.

2) The etching was free to me; all it cost the school was the electricity to run the machine. As for what a company would charge you, I have no idea, but they would probably get as much as they could from you.

3) I agree, my case is pretty jank. It's all I've got, though. (I would have etched the case window, but that damn dragon was there!)

4) I'll post some pictures of the inside tomorrow.
