Thanks to internex that gave me the opportunity to take these extreme pictures 😉
waoo this machine looks like a beast. amazing images buddy.
Is it really Indium used in the silver armour? Do you have a source for that information? Seems a little overkill to use a conductive element just to paint the inside of a plastic shell.
I’m looking to do a similar effect so it would be good to know how Asus did it, and if they indeed used Indium.
