Opeth Case - Patterns In The Ivy

Foamy · **Posted:** Thu Jan 10, 2008 8:17 pm

EDIT
I'm reworking this drawing board work log and going to do a 180
The case
LIAN LI PC-7B plus II

I love the band Opeth and have always like the art that they produce in music and as there album art. So I have talked with Bill and this case is going to get air bushed with this kind of drawings.
This would go on the side panel right in the middle.

And the candles in this pic would go on the outside with the smoke that rises mabey to the top of the case.

Now the I'm calling this case after one of the songs that Opeth have called Patterns In The Ivy and i want to have the Ivy look all around the case.
Once I get the case open from its cardboard hold i will take some pics of it with the ideas to put it into prospective.

Here is my wish list (on newegg.com) on whats all going in it
EVGA 512-P3-N841-A3 GeForce 8800GTS (G92) 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 HDCP

Bump: Reworked this post

Engraving the logo in the side panel would look awesome too!
(plus would be a good chance to learn something new :wink:

)

OT: I heard a couple of opeth songs a few days back (wife listens to them a bit) It's pretty cool!

yeah me and bill talked about that as well not a bad idea for the front or the top of the case

i cant wait to see this one. I love Opeth and I think this could be a great basis for a dark, almost goth-ish mod. Good luck, I'm with you all the way!

This looks to be a promising mod. I saw Opeth on Giganatour last year where they played before Lamb of God and then Megadeth. They were pretty cool.

I like music themed cases.....

Update Time!
I got my case open and put together to see what it would all look like inside and also to see how cool or hot it would get in there.
I know its not the best cable job and i could do allot better but I'm not worried right now.

Top view and i even added a little jazz to it already for fun

Front of the case kind of ugly

Side of the case where the art is going to be.

The front is not ugly, just plain. Lian Li cases are *never* ugly.

Dicks got it right, they're never, ever ugly. (the shell shaped one is the only exception...

)

Looks like some real nice etching coming our way.

well when i start to work on it you will say good god that front was so ugly! lol

Even that one wasn't "ugly", just weird.
