Ok guys, I am currently in the process of building a new desktop computer case with Kikboxes Mod Nation. The theme is Nuclear!!! lol. I need some creative minds and possibly artists to help me do the finishing designs on the computer. The case they have already made that I will be modeling after can be viewed Here
My main detailed theme is a nuclear missile launch silo, one that has been through some fall-out and been abandoned for years.

From the case above, I will be taking the acid was finish; and a modded front fan grill.

Changed:

1. The red acid wash, will be replaced with a dark green acid wash.
2. The fan grill, will be a chrome mushroom cloud with yellow/red light behind it.

There will be a glass panel on the left side, and most of the airbrushed designs will be visible on the right.

Ideas: Replace the on off button with a red "launch" button, with a flip up glass cover over it. A "bolted on" sign on the right; the sign will say something like "launch silo" or "caution! radiation zone" something like that.
Place nuclear hazard symbols over the top right and bottom left corners of the glass panel. I am thinking about either a acid drip over the top and back panels to make it look as if the thing has been aging for years.

Where you come in.
I really need new ideas for this case. My uncreative mind cannot think of anything else to add to the cases design. The case REALLY needs a name, so please pitch me some cool name ideas that can be airbrushed into the side somewhere. I also need some possible designs drawn, If I use your design, you will get payed for permission to use the artwork. Price is really no object here, so pretend its totally free no matter what.

Added - Greem pulsing under lights -Thermalreactor
Possibility - Etched glass with "caution" sign - Thermalreactor



Please let me know ANY and ALL ideas/designs you have; all are much appreciated.

THANKS!!

Some crazy ideas of the top of my head:
1.) when you press the `launch`button to start it up maybe have some kind of recording playing that air horn sound like you see in the movies, something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vfQXsw0a4U
2.) Maybe have some pulsing green lights from under the case, making it look like its radiating something like this :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJx6NPnN0A0
3.)Maybe on the window have etched: Caution radioactive materials inside!
Just a few ideas I just camd up with on the fly, let me know if you like them I could put some more thought into it if you do.
 
Thanks! I really like the green pulsing lights idea. And the Caution sign on the glass is neat. I really need to think of something to do to the right side of the case, some sort of design or sign.

Added - Greem pulsing under lights
Possibility - Etched glass with "caution" sign
 
On the tray side would it be possible to have cut out of a mushroom cloud then have a peice of frosted plexi behind it. Then with white leds break it up in parts starting at the buttom gradually lighting it up all the way to the top. (hope that makes sense)
 
I think with the mushroom cloud fan grill, Im going to keep it at the chrome cloud with the lights behind it. Possibly make it just a black silhouette.
 
How about cutting out jagged pieces on the back side, then place frosted plexi with some more green pulsing lights. Then airbrush it like the case is falling apart and decaying and the radioactive material is like glowing through.
 
You should also get some UV paint and paint some things on your mobo. Get some uv cathodes as well. I know you said it will be a green acid wash but what if you made it look like it was a military container of some kind. Like matte green.
 
Wow that case is pretty sweet, Looks nice! Ill probably see about getting a mushroom cloud etched into the side of the glass, I talked to Stu (kikboxes.com) about making a mushroom cloud on the right side; He said that a full mural like that would take so much time, money, and It might not come out correctly just because of all the things going on in the picture. The green pulsing lights sound pretty awesome too; I could do a lot of interesting things with that. Keep the ideas coming! Good help so far.
As for the LCD screens. Something cool could be done with that as well. Some sort of short video maybe? Make it flash red? More to come with that idea :)



Need : A NAME FOR THE PROJECT (SOMETHING B.A) LOL
And i need something really good to put on the right side

BTW : I joined the navy as a nuclear engineer and thats why this seems to be appropriate.

I will be posting pictures of the finished project


Thanks again guys :)
 
I have found a name for this case/project. Urchin.

The neutron generator(trigger) used on the implosion design (such as the Fat Man bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki) was coded named "Urchin". The urchin was designed in dayton ohio during the "ohio project".

My home town is dayton Ohio. :) I think ill have this replace the caution sign on the right side

I live in the canton area, which is like on the other side of the state, a little off topic but did you get hit with the -18 temperatures a few weeks ago? Back on topic- Something that would be cool would when it starts up to have a plexi panel in one of the drive bays etched with "Launch Activated" or something like that light up under some red led's.
 
Yeah, that was the coldest we have had it around here in a while. So cold my car just said "nope not today" lol. But, I have boot camp at great lakes here in 3 days, constant -20 :o , but On topic lol, Yea that would be pretty cool as well, have some sort of light up sign on the panel for the cd drive
