haha np, sorry for the late reply. I'm not planning on getting a new case for my quark, as it's already 1/2 blown lol.. I'm just waiting for it to die, then I'll go Teken or CC. I just enjoy modeling, and I figure I can use stuff like this in a portfolio. I've designed alot of stuff that I'll never get made, simply because it'd be way to expensive for me. Here's a perfect example of a project that I really enjoyed designing, but would cost me an arm and both legs to get made:

I'm using PhotoWorks to render, which is built into SolidWorks. I've got quite a few other renderers, like Maxwell Renderer, with a plugin for SW, so you still render in SW, but it uses the Maxwell engine. as well as Brazil R/S, V-Ray, and Electric Rain, but those, I need to export the part, and import it into 3DSMax, and depending on the renderer, I need to use different versions of 3DSMax.. so I havn't played with them yet. Maxwell works in SW, but my machine's not up to snuff for high quality renders, so it tends to crash SW on me..
The motor mount is from my XR8 project. Here's that thread:
