I thought it only appropriate to post some pics of my loot from my lucky night in vegas.
I was so excited to show it off I decided to pull it out of its box in a hotel room in Pheonix and snap shots with my camera phone. So forgive me for my vanity and lack of quality, but seriously, these are sexy shots.

A few more pageant shots.
And a big thanks out to everyone that made that thing happen and welcomed my goofy ass! It'll be cool to get to know everyone.

I ordered the fans like 15 minutes ago. 2 day shipping, so it will be up soon.
Lucky Strikes are the bomb btw.

I can see how you won it with that face. Id probably end up giving you my wallet and phone aswell.

Well :banana::banana::banana::banana: man, where were you. I would love a new one of each.
Anyways, I'm in the process of moving to vegas right now, and as soon as i have the beast set up there will be pictures.
I haven't had internet or a camera for a long ass time, so forgive my tardiness. (Never get bresnan internet)

moving to Vegas soon huh.. why?

It's pretty fun here, but the strip gets boring once you live here a while.

Great case, Enjoy it man!

I don't like very much the outside paint but that's a great case

Great case, Enjoy it man!

I lived there two years ago for two years and absolutely loved it. Im moving mainly cause Im sick of my small, cold, futureless town and I already have a job and a place to stay and know some great people. So it just makes sense.

It looks really baller, I just need to put the stock mesh on it I think.

I would build a house surround that case as a show piece... that is one sexy paintjob...

Grats!

Very nice case :up: but hate the paint design :down:

That is bad ass I would like to see some pic's of the inside and it lit up .

DavCor

02-01-2009, 10:26 PM

I just got to Vegas today for the superbowl, Im gonna get it all set up tommorow and then I will post pictures shortly. Moving sure is fun.

DavCor

02-02-2009, 01:15 PM

Here is my case all set up and lit up. I accidentally took all the photos in 640x480, but you will get the jist. I think I need to get the black mesh to cover the side fans, it would make it look like a red glowing black wing.
Here are the glamour shots.

DavCor

02-02-2009, 01:17 PM

Here's a few more.
Enjoy!

Welcome to XS!! Don't worry about your English since most of us English speakers aren't very good at it either!! :)

OP: Awesome case. Definitely a keeper.

I'd paint it black. Congrats on the win!

That's one of the ugliest paint jobs I ever seen. This thing shouldn't be shown in public, let alone win any sort of award...

Don't worry, If I decide to give my $1200 case away I will not give it to you. Or invite you to any of my case parties. Thanks for letting me know how you feel about it.

DavCor

Thank you sir, but painting the case black would tottally negate the custom paint job/whole point of the case. My roommates didn't like it at first, but it really grows on you, it's made to be a peice of art as well as a case.

Any artist would laugh at the crap you put on an otherwise good case. I wouldn't take your case if you gave it to me for free, and who willingly goes to "case parties"? Lol...seriously now

02-10-2009, 11:26 PM

Yo Baron calm down...

And that case looks nice.

Mark90

02-10-2009, 11:35 PM

Hell I'd take that case for free and sell it and earn a nice profit off of it. I'd keep it too, it would be like a trophy type case that I could show off without using.

This type of d-baggery isn't looked upon lightly. If you're just going to :banana::banana::banana::banana: talk on his case, don't post here.:mad:

Nice case, I'd rock it. And as long as it looks awesome to you, who cares what people think. But that is a bada$s air brush job.

DavCor

02-11-2009, 09:56 AM

Thanks guys, I'm pretty sure that the good ole baron is just supremely jealous.

Riggs

02-11-2009, 10:27 AM

Ive got one, didnt like the skulls at first, but pictures really serve no justice. You have to see one in person to truly appreciate it!

Baron_Davis

02-11-2009, 01:38 PM

Thanks guys, I'm pretty sure that the good ole baron is just supremely jealous.

Dear Mr. Douché,

Here is an example of a skillful paint job. Keep in mind, I don't think it's that great, but I just want to show you how a so-so design is a trillion times better than yours.

Sincerely,

Baron

Lol this Baron you're awesome. The case you just posted is painted by the same company...Smooth Creations.

Lol this Baron you're awesome. The case you just posted is painted by the same company...Smooth Creations.

thanks for posting that because i would of. i think the grey and red looks nice, but those are my favorite colors. everyone has different tastes. and its pretty stupid to say "i wouldnt take that case if it was free" because you would, youre just trying to be an internet tough guy. and you fail at pulling it off.

can we get some more pics of the inside?

Baron_Davis

02-11-2009, 09:16 PM

Lol this Baron you're awesome. The case you just posted is painted by the same company...Smooth Creations.

I would be very surprised if the same guys that did the design in this thread did the design on the newegg case. The difference is night and day. One looks like :banana::banana::banana::banana:, and the other does not.

If the two noobs work for smooth creations...I'd be even more surprised. I checked out their site, and indeed their stuff looks nice. Now switch between the case in this thread and:

THIS: http://www.smoothcreations.com/

There is NO comparison.

Bertross

02-11-2009, 09:50 PM

Woah this thread got heated lol. I dont mind it tbh.

I dont think the pics are doing it justice though, to blurry.

Baron, stop being such a d-bag.
Some people have different tastes in paintjobs, I don't particularly like it but my friend loves it.

Mark90

02-12-2009, 12:31 AM

The one that baron posted looks ugly, he only likes it because its the only face he will ever see in his life.

ANP !!!

02-12-2009, 04:30 AM

It looks so huge in front of that LCD, its a beast. Congrats.

DavCor

02-13-2009, 02:46 PM

My case is a CSX case, check the first page. I really don't care what you think, I have the case and you don't, I like the case and you don't, so I win. Sorry. Yeah right now the insides are kinda messy, and I need a new cpu cooler and some zip ties.

Hockeydude

02-13-2009, 03:18 PM

Congratz on winning the case, it looks great.

Groveling_Wyrm

02-13-2009, 03:22 PM

Dood! That's a SWEET paint job, REGARDLESS of whether or not it looks to your taste. That thing took someone some SERIOUS time to do, and some SERIOUS creativity as well. Don't like it? Don't look at it. But don't put it down either. Remember...beauty IS in the eye of the beholder.

After all, I don't see any of us posting anything that we have done, that comes even close to that paint job, so at least give the artist some props for actually doing it. He/she's already done more artwork on that case than most of us (If not all) posting in this thread.

OP, for what it's worth, you are a lucky one for getting that. A good case with a paint job you likely won't see at a LAN party...congrats! :up:

Grnfinger

02-16-2009, 08:17 AM

Congrats on the win....Sweet case you have there and pay no mind to haters....opinions are like :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::b anana:s everyone has one and they all stink.
