BLACK'S MAGIC- 100% Structurally COMPLETE - PHOTO UPDATES 7-23-2010

Hello All,
I am new to this hobby and just wanted to share my ideas for my new future cabinet. I am still in the process of R&D.
Robert Downey's - Arcade Odyssey - has inspired me to take on this massive project. For now, here is the artwork I plan on using for the cab.
1. The control panel will be lit with novagem blue led buttons (end trails of the lightning bolts), trackball will be blue illuminescent.
2. The square cutouts in the CP will house 2 80mm blue led fans w/ custom fan covers, both will have on/off switches on sided of the CP. (built in A/C) :lol
3. The cabinet will also have the ability to be turned on and off via a keyring remote switch........
4. Speakers in the upper panel will be neon blue.
5. There will be a plexiglass window below coin box to show off a neon blue illuminescent subwoofer inside the cabinet.
6. The dragon art will be used as side art with Knievel's blue neon ring idea.
Also, I have never used Photoshop, this was first try at creating artwork. So cut me a little slack on the professional look that a few other masters have exhibited on this site.
More to come as the project grows.
Any thoughts or comments are highly appreciated.

Artwork is leaps better than anything I can do in Photoshop.
The fans are a neat idea. Just clean the construction sawdust out before any of your friends playtest it. :laugh2:
So a keyring remote will turn everything on and off? You plan to still shut down the PC properly, right?
rablack97:
Yes, it will do a proper shutdown.....

Rablack97,
Welcome and fantastic job. I am doing R&D on my current project so will be interesting to follow yours. I think we are headed in a similar direction based on your inspirations.
I really love the fantasy art. Let me know if you find those Neon rings anywhere in stock...I am looking for green/yellow ;)
:cheers:

Thanks Epyx,
Here are a few sites I saved as favorites, not sure of stock....
This one in particular has yellow and green 15" inch.......Which is probably what I will go with, to show more of the art. No stock for the 12"
