Photoshop: Phi Kappa Tau Medal

Posted by nitrogen on March 12th, 2007

<2006> This is one of my favorite Photoshops that I’ve done. It’s a Phi Tau medal I made as a mock-up for real medals I wanted to have made. It turned out great, and makes a good desktop background, too.

Project: DiamondBox

Posted by nitrogen on December 1st, 2006

<2004> This is the project write-up for the DiamondBox, in many ways the sequel to the Waterbox. After the Waterbox met its end at the hand of gravity, I resolved to make a much stronger case as my next project. The DiamondBox was born, utilizing aluminum-on-top-of-more-aluminum construction, it has the awesome looks of aluminum diamondplate, chrome, and flat black, with some blue accent lighting. It also features full watercooling support and in many areas utilizes the available space so well that there’s very little left over. This mod will eat most hoity-toity factory “mods” for breakfast.

Project: Waterbox

Posted by nitrogen on November 29th, 2006

<2004> This is the project write-up for the water-cooling accessory box I built for my acrylic case. I dubbed it the Waterbox. It was, for the most part, a self-contained water-cooling apparatus with the pump, radiator, fans, and reservoir. It was designed to sit below my case and integrate into the design as seamlessly as possible. Unfortunately, nearing the end of its development (and after many, many hours of work), the Waterbox met a tragic ending.
