YaHookah! The computer you can smoke

Step 4 More cosmetics.

 With the new acrylic sides and flashy paint job, I went on a whim decision and thought I would try my hand at engraving acrylic for the first time.  Most people seem to use their rotary tool, but I just so happen to have a pencil engraver at my disposal from my dad.  Honestly I think it was much easier to use than my Dremel would have been, the Dremel seems to have a "walk" to it, where as the engraver was a little more precise at staying in one spot.  I can't say I was 100% happy with how it turned out, but it really did not turn out too bad.  It was my first attempt, and I went for the gusto without even trying on a practice piece.

I originally downloaded the Yahoo logo and started modifying in paint to get out the word "YaHooka!", but after a few blunders it struck me to do a quick search online for "yahoo font' on google.  Low and behold, there is a Yahoo font.  After downloading and installing the font, I printed the image backwards so that I could lay the printout under my acrylic, and trace the image with my engraver.

Also, leftover from a previous project of updating an old heavy dresser of mine, I had two of these nice brushed handles leftover.  My dresser had six drawer's, the handles came in packs of four, so I had two left over which made perfect handles for carrying to a LAN party.  Installation is as simple as measuring an equal distance for placement on top of the case, then drilling with a 1/4" drill bit.  I used some appropriate sized bolts and washers from the old hardware bin.
