Title: Hows it look?
Post by: Jixr on Fri, 08 August 2014, 14:52:00
I'm fixing up one of my PokerX's and it seems a little boring to me.

I'm needing some ideas on the cheap how to give it a little more something else, its looking a little too bland.

Just curious, what case is that? the Tex acrylic massdrop one?

As for ideas...hmm.

If you have enough clearance on the bottom of the PCB, you may be able to solder some led's on there to light up the case. Kinda like GON style. Oh wait, is that a PokerX? Because it looks like it has the white plate of a Poker2...

Looks good.  I'm a fan of one-tone + rgb in general.

Is that MD Tex acrylic case?

yeah, its a tex MD case. I really don't like it. I'm thinking of sanding it and polishing it out to make it completely transparent.

The purple set would be cool.


( and yes, its a pokerX with a white poker2 plate, I like the X more than the 2 because of the arrows ) and with the TEX case there is very little room to add anything under the case. I thought about adding LED's under it, but it would just dim down all the others every time I added something. I've tinkered with the idea of using those sticky back LED strips for case mods and things, but its too dim to see, and barely shows at night.

the thing that bugs me the most is the sound difference, my blue one above, sounds so much more solid, the acrylic makes it just sound super plasticky
