i hope the Madshrimp cr3w notices the people that didn't use paint *cough*

Voor sommige mods kunde beter zelf een plexi case maken ipv de die te gaan modden :rolleyes:

They will not only be disqualified ... they will also be visited by our own swat team :D

fear the geeksquad :)

www.geeksquad.com

I did - maybe I win therefore :p (just kidding- though I did use paint quite difficult I might say cause trapeziums I could not make and little lines too (writing inside even difficult)

i see 2 people that did :o btw, think you can get posters of the swat team? i would buy one, lol

:^D

I´ll need 45-60 days to conclude the Blue Spirit project.

I also noticed that 2 persons did, I think that's stupid because it spoils the fun, I had alot of fun creating that in paint for several hours, also frustations ;)
As long as the crew notices it, I'm ok with it.


EDIT : Also something I noticed :
Rules state :
**What dimensions should the image have and what format?
Maximum 640x480 and saved as JPEG.
mynamesnotjohn : BMP
asgneto : BMP
Vorex : GIF
T-power : 782*640 (I know JMke changed it to JPEG but it's not his job to resize them ;) )

Also very important in my humble opinion is that you should state everything in English. Why? Well what happens if I wan't too look at the other entries and I don't understand Dutch? I can understand that if you do not speak/write/understand english very well, that you put it in Dutch. But a small effort is always appreciated. But anyway, who am I to say this ;)

I'm not here to play jury, but if the rules are applied, then those are already out of the competition. It's not really hard to correct this.
Also, I might be wrong on this one but hell, I think it's the point to create a good looking case with paint and add comments on what you did to improve your chances :

"adding a description on what you changed/added and how you would do it if you won the case can increase your chances of winning"
"Visualise how you would modify this plexi case"

I should keep this info for me and give you guys less chance but I'm a good competitor, and I a good winner/loser more loser because I lost often :D. First thing I won since few years was with [M] and it got lost in the post. Thx to Teus for giving me another one.

:ws: to the [M]crew

zo ehm geen engels = gedisqualificeert? mijn nederlands is al niet goed end mai engliesj is ievehn worze!

Nope but you stated that your english sux monkeyballs ;)

I'm not even judge of this, just merely stating the problems ;)

Ik ga der van uit dat dees een belgische site is aangezien het ".be" is (bij mij). Trouwes, wa als ik geen engels kan?

btw, asgneto, das duidelijk geen paint ;)

www.madshrimps.com

back to you :grin:
http://www.madshrimps.be/forums/anno...?s=&forumid=33

the only reason why we are using the .be domain mostly is because we have full rights on that domain :)

Da kan ik nie rieken he, ik ga naar wwW.madshrimps.be en da marcheert dus is da ne belgische site :)

And with an image to make it even more clear :D

This ain't the place to discuss about languages.

the whole site is in english :grin:

omg, never wished for this discussion.
I was only pointing this out.
As graemem is from Edinburgh
and Rik_ from Sidney.
I suppose that they do not understand Dutch ;)

i posted a bmp, and it didn't show up, so i saved it as a gif and reposted.

oooooooo shyt, i thought the rules said to post a bmp, i am an idiot.

Would be painfull to be disqualified for such a dumb thing.
Ok I'm sure the crew would keep it in mind, because of the "small" numbers of participators.
Anyway, I hope I helped a bit ;)

Hopefully :)

here's my humble entry

original (had to resize it due to rules, details are more visible in the orginal though :/
meh, its not like its got a chance, just a test run for my wacom i guess

ps: where is da case? ;)
:^D

fixed, it was JPG instead of jpg :/

still can't see the case :)

thats the clue of it all, but i can see i'm the only one getting the joke, i always do that really :p

seriously: great paint skillz :)

why do you participate in a contest for winning a case if you're not going to need it anywayz :p

i've been using an aopen case for two years, i could use something new :p

why teh hell are you participating in a case winning contest, do the effort drawing in paint, to win that case AND DON'T USE THE FRIKKIN CASE

some ppl are real stupid:wtf:

its a gag picture not a real representation :p

You can always use a case like that ;)
If you have a boring case, and you put this in place of the boring case that would rock.
Also, if you have a simple case, I guess the airflow sucks, but with this one the airflow looks pretty good.
If you only have a lianli for example then I would not understand why you participate, but if you have a simple case, why not ;)
I'd put my server in it, then I could get it out of the corner and put it in the middle so it would be noticed :D

ok this is it. Nothing special , you think. Well that's because paint doesn't work with see through colors.

I like a plexi case that is painten with a special black see through paint, it's a special kind of lac. It's is also metallic and shiny
The [M] is in the same paint but mat.


In combination with the CCFL's in the case it gives a weird effect (maybe using some shiny elements like mirrors, that i do not know yet :p)

the panaflo"s are modded with very bright leds using the tutorial on the madshrimp site

CDROM, psu, Rheobus are painted in the same paint as the case.

Well I don't have paint installed so words will have to do.

Since I hate light in my room, no CCFL or ultra bright LEDs.

Just strip anything that canbe stripped (CD's floppy, HD if possible) and replace all needed parts with plexi.

Add some acent lighting with LOW intensity blue LEDs.

Paint the bottom black to create a faint mirror image.

Make it a HUGE EMI source (no one in my block will have FM reception)

it comes free on your Windows CD :p

2 words:

resource hog.

contest rules :^D

tidom tideee (peter pan-song :o )

i'm getting exited

I would first start of with a big motherf… blowtorch.
And reshape the plexi in to two fishbowls then I would take a can ore 5 of silicone and fill the holes. Then I would drill a big hole in both fishbowls; then I put a tube in between the 2 and spend another 5 cans of silicone to get it waterproof.
This I would fill up with fluo blue water and drive to the diy shop to get another couple of cans of silicon. When I return the tanks are empty again because of the leaking, so now I can go on putting the rest of the silicon on. And filling everything up again. On top of the tanks I would put (in plexi of course) a sort of bridge where I can attach the dvd+-rw and the harddrive with hotglue.i think I’m gone use the same method to attach the powersupply. For placing the mb I’m going to make a mixture of hot-glue, superglue, acceton, breakfast serial, milk, and papier-mâché in combination with the blowtorch, this should hold it in place. On the bottom I’m going to place a really big blacklite, and shine 2 self-made spotlights on they’re with 3000 really bright led. To cool the thing I have a 1000hp airplane engine lying around that should do it.
Afterwards I will train the fish to splash water on the heatsink.and dipping the mb in my really hot chilly saus, it can isolate my thong from my mouth so it would do nicely isolating the board. Hope I win.


if you are Wondering , yes this is made by Paint :D :D

sorry for the english

[FONT=courier new]runob presents:

:mad: The [M]AD case :mad:

And so god created water, so why not use it? Combining the functional and estetic values of water resulted in this case that
- has got a killer look
- has great perfomance
- is super silent

The look
The front window has got a 1 cm thick plexi logo, [M]AD], glued on to it. The log itself has been matted on the inside to differentiate it from the rest of the window. Inside the case are 3 red laserleds the shine towards the logo making it the centerpiece of the case. Finally as cherry on the cake there's a waterfall running equally all over the front plate. Because of the relief a superb effect is created that will amaze everyone. On the bottom of the case there is an open plexi reservoir that will collect the falling water. On the sides of that reservoir there are another 2 laserleds giving the water a mysterious red look.

The performance
The waterpump and waterreservoir from the window also have a second function: watercooling. The CPU and gfx card are cooled with the same water. The waterfall serves as the radiator. Because of the huge surface the water will cool down very quick. This low temperature allows the enthousiast oc'er to go to the edges of watercooling solutions.

The silence
The system is almost completely fanless: cpu, gfx card and radiator are in no need of any fan. The power supply should be opened to allow it to cool down without the use of a fan or the fan can be replaced with a supersilent fan. As a bonus you get the relaxing sound of falling water which is all the feng shui way allowing you to come to peace with yourself.
