Case Review : SMT launches new line of Custom Cases
>> The second in my continuing series of Case Reviews.
SMT (www.system-mods.com) sent in this early prototype for review a while ago, but as is the norm for XS, we are balancing many projects, reviews, and interviews while keeping our lives in order. :)
Lacking any skills myself with a paint brush or can, I started this series of reviews to see what the scene offered people like me in the way of custom or unique case options for the wannabie modder in all of us. I've done enough cases to know that I can cover a case with paint, but notmake it look good enough to show off without making excuses.
The sample sent in from SMT.. is not only professional, but looks awesome.
SMT delivered that, and more in spades. The case I received, and have been enjoying for awhile now is well decked out. My favorite color blue carries through the whole theme of the case.
It’s been primed, and painted in multiple levels, with sanding done in-between providing a smooth and reflective and blemish free paint job. As you can see, this was a beautiful case. What’s more, the matching controller was a nice touch.
Anyone who has ever painted a controller, and has ended up with a controller that ended up chipping, or had it end up sticky, will definitely approve of the results SMT achieved with their paint process. (details of which they won’t divulge)
The attention to detail was excellent.
If this was only a painted case, I’d have been ecstatic. However, once again, people with skills did what I would likely have butchered. Custom SMT Jewel, with Case cut accordingly for it, and a nice Cold Cathode to match to light that baby up provides the look I wanted to achieve on my own for ages.
Rounding out the case mods provided by SMT, was the Power/Eject LED replacement. The same treatment was done for the Xecuter external switch LED.
So, for those who want an automotive paint quality custom paint job done on their case, or on a premod, you can now have SMT do the full bumper to bumper service on your case. The fact they can also take the drudgery out of doing LED’s just adds to the value and the look of the final product.
