Heck's inspired build

Hi, i just wanted to thank Ben for inspiring and teaching tips and tricks allowing me to build this iron man mod pc. The computer itself is old (pentium IV s478), i just wanted a second one for future cnc purposes. I started trying to build one as small as possible, all black case. Then scored an old compaq horizontal case and the iron man theme came to my mind. It has blue LEDs in the top fan and in the front vent with slide pots to control fan speed and LEDs brightness at the front's low left, i added the usb hub, the multi-card reader. It has built-in speakers with the commands ported on the front lower-right. I also added a reset switch below the original power switch and a HDD front loading tray with a dc motor and an H-bridge command on the top right. Don´t mind the little mishappening next to de dvd drive, i´ll fix it ASAP.

Anyway, I just wanted to show Ben how his wonderful show inspired me, and although this build isn't perfect i´m happy with how it came out.

    thanks, i could make one for you but there are a few set-backs. First of all i live in Argentina and second i could only work on the mod on my free time which currently isn´t much. If you are ok with these things, then i could. Other option would be that you make one mod, i´ll be more than happy to guide you through or answer any doubt that may come in the way..

    i have some more pictures if you want to see more detail..

    I think I want to try this myself. I know most of the theory already but the extra pictures would help. I know what you mean about free time.
