the envy font on the lit looks wrong slanted..

An extremely expensive machine like yours, IMHO, should have a subtle look. I love that shade of red, and the Voodoo mask on the touchpad looks nice. The machine would look great, I think, without the "busy" look with the stickers.

Dude you got 2 VooDoo's no one is gonna criticize you on a paint job. I say if you got it flaunt it, but I'm not feeling the gold on the top, it makes it hard to look at with the vibrant red and yellow/gold colors. Everything else looks nice, hope it comes out cool!

cool design,,,,,,ouch bout the price

As an honest opinion, I think it would look much better if you painted it red and left it that way. Metallic black would be even better... atleast to me it would. I've always had a thing against Red/Yellow or Red/Gold it reminds me of ketchup and mustard or McDonald's. With the green AMD lights, it would drive me crazy... like McDonald's at Christmas. To each his own though. If you like it, that's all that matters.

that looks so cool, shame that they are sooooooo expensive
but still cool paint job
just wondering how much did the laptop cost? -
Hey K-Tron... just a quickie...
those who have power, dont show it, dont flaunt it... those who dont... make big noises and get stupid "fast and the furious" mufflers on their civics, jettas etc etc etc...
sorry bout the analogy folks... just tired of getting some hooligan pull up and rev their engines...
i like the customization you're doing... but you want to be a walking billboard? -

D3X,
firstly, i've know K-Tron from the voodoo boards and i have only the highest respect for him for showing his modding capabilities on here as well as the voodoo boards. i'm amazed and his posts is always a learning experience.
never have i mentioned that K-T posting his mods is flaunting...
my comment/analogy was regarding his style of design he has chosen.
all the corporate logos and branding, hence my comment...
secondly, i'm expressing an opinion and i did not expressed whether my opinion is right or wrong nor have i forced my opinion to be correct. it's just a subjective opinion.
third, as for the "fast and furious" analogy and cars, i'm sure K-Tron will understand... and of course, a simple apology to those who disagree with me...
in any case, sorry that you see crap... -

K-Tron, we need to sit and you can teach me how you gave more volume at the cover to compensate for lighting...
perhaps one of these days, we can work on a build together... and come up with some crazy stuff...
one of my favorite thoughts was perhaps have a 3D of voodoo logo as the entire cover... or even just the half of voodoo logo 3D on one side of the cover... but of course, in metal... and again, being subtle,... anodized black... he he he -

well, you pretty much fixed it by removing the u709 wrap around the voodoo logo... perhaps even the voodoo logo being a tad big and it seems to compete with the "envy" text...
the AMD is a part of the mod so show that off... great...
but dont change your mind on my account...
and btw, i'm working in the city now... SOHO actually... so it's not as bad as coming over to the boondocks...
he he he... one day, i will bring the car... and park it in the street... -
I think the idea of the red and copper has a lot of potential, but I would definitely have to change the lights from green to red, orange, or red/orange to keep the theme from turning Christmas. I'm a lot like the King in the respect that I prefer subtle sleek mods. I give you props for the customization, but it's a little over the top for me. I might have to break out the Photoshop sometime today and see what I can come up with, lol.
-
I must have misread that post there as I thought you meant the thread entirely! No offense to you KingHong.
On the design note, I do agree that perhaps a more subtle look would make it more sleek. However, on the other hand, i think it needs to be little more daring and bold with the designs with the RED base color K-TRON has chosen. Either way I applaud his efforts and can't wait to see the end result -

I think a laptop that wants to stand out would be better with a solid color that looks real snazzy, but having all the decorative branding and what not is a little over the top for my tastes, but to each his own (also like to know how you did the case modding!).
-
D3X... all's cool bro... sorry if my reply was... "blunt"
sometimes i find myself in a weird situation where what i think and the words that come out of my mount... er... in this case, gets typed... is a bit different... -
new to the forum. love that red color and can't wait to see the finished pic's posted here or are they on the voodoo forum?

Wow. You've put a lot of thought and effort into making this a masterpiece. Kudos to you for spending the time & money on this project. At the end of the day, your own opinion matters the most and i think you've managed to achieve a very unique look for your laptop. Congrats and can't wait to see it completed.

damn K-TRON nice job. with your smarts and determination, tender young age lol, and great education that you are getting 10,000 grand will be a drop in the bucket in the years to come.
you should / could parley that into an Alienware type business. custom modded lappys for kings, queens, oil shieks etc,etc. !!! remember life really is stranger than fiction so this idea is probably not as out there as it might seem. off to watch your video now. -
just out of curiosity, what are the ages of people on this thread, including u ktron?

okay in my mind I'm still the 20 something i was back in my service days in the USN circa 1974 to 1979 but physically i will be 51 in July. kinda late start with all these high tech toys. didn't have that back in my day.
but you are never too old to learn and have fun. -
-
K-Tron, whats going on man! love the paint job, glad to see you got rid of the u705 around the voodoo logo, i thought that was a bit much! (just my personal opinion) and as far as all of the AMD and sticker reppin, (its not for me) but i do think that its cool to see at the same time!
second i was going to ask if those were LEDs in the AMD logo on the back of the lid, and it is, thats pimpin!
all i got left to say is this, its tits up squealin! nicely done! -
any update?
-
This is crazy. Yet awesome.

K-TRON, you're truly brave. i guess confidence derives from well thought out plan. i'd never have the guts to take apart such a huge investment. let us know how it goes.
edit: i'm even more surprised you decided to get stock casing w/o any custom paint. considering voodoo specializes in custom paint/art work it seems kind of odd you chose to use an outside painter. couldn't you have simply requested voodoo to make it specifically the way you wanted for final value of the notebook?
