Photoshop Help Please.

[WoodWorker420]

I am planning on building my new PC this summer, and am trying to figure out what its colour scheme will be. I have narrowed my case choices down to 3 towers:

1) Lian Li – PC-P80B
2) Lian LI – PC-PA70B
3) Silverstone TJ07B

I need someones help to do some photoshop work, just so that I can see what the paint schemes would look like in each case to help me make my decision.

The current colour schemes I am considering are:

1) Black aluminum exterior /gold anodized interior.
2) White Exterior (Like white pearl) / Flat Black Interior

Something Like This

Hey WW,

:welcome:

Nice choice on the cases. I can help you out with the paint schemes if you like, but please bare in mind that gold and pearl are not easy to fake.. and flat black is also time consuming to do properly.. (I mean to make it look 100% real)

here are some very quick/rough examples of what I mean:

if that looks good enough, let me know and we can do more variations :)

Hoax, Thanks for the quick replys. It definatly gives me an idea on what it might look like. THe only thing I would want to see, is can you make the grill in the front match the interior colour? If its going to be alot of work, dont worry about it. The images you have provided can give me a good idea on what to expect.

I actually like the gold alot!

What are your thoughts? Do you have a preference? Any and all feedback is appreciated.

ah sorry.. I missed you wanted the grill too..how's this?

I didn't mean to sound like a lazy bastard.. just go ahead and list the stuff you want to see/tweak and I will give it a try..

as far as my opinion goes.. I think both combinations will look good, I can't say I have ever seen a gold/black theme before, I have seen some very nice white/black cases. I guess it will really be easier to decide once the templates are made..

what are the plans on the TJ07? any exterior details?

is it me or the pics are only making things harder? :ROTF:


seriously tho, the black/white ones don't do justice to how it would really look... this won't be an easy choice..

[WoodWorker420]

:clap: Well again hoax, a big thanks for the sweet photoshop work. And yes the pics have only made things more difficult. I know that black and white can turn out just amazing (i mean look at snipes' rig). Black and gold is something that I have never seen, so I know I would get some originality points, however it could be a big risk....hmmmmm....this is not going to be easy indeed.

[hoax]

no worries man, glad to help.


probably the best way to get some feedback/votes is to use the images to create a new poll in the computer cases section.

gold would definitely give you originality points, but I think its a lot less forgiving... will be a lot easier to mix and match parts on the white/black theme.

ah..decisions...decisions... :p:

[WoodWorker420]

hoax, Do you think I could bug you to see 1 more option!??!?!
Its the TJ07 with a White Interior / Black Exterior. Essentially just take the Gold / Black TJ you did a few posts up, and change the gold for WHITE.
If its a problem no worries, but I realized I have yet to see a white interior TJ07, and think it would look hella good.

TIA

remember when I said gold and white can be very hard? it all depends on the area we need to change... and you just named one of those areas :p:

lol, my bad. Thats works for me tho. Actually I really like the white interior on the TJ. Sorry for making more work for you, but it definatley has helped me on making a decision. Cheers AGAIN my friend.
