Psychonauts: Games for Windows (Standard Size)
http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/the7k.custom.win_psychonauts_gamesforwindows.jpg
There already was a Double Wide version of Psychonauts for Windows here, but I ain't got no stack packs. So, here is one for standard size DVD cases using the "Games for Windows" template, just cuz I think it's spiffy. (the only DVD case I could put 5 discs in was a PS2 case, actually; none of the others would close. Just in case ya wanted to know how I actually put 5 CDs in one DVD case.)

I've been planning on re-packaging all my PC games into DVD cases with custom covers for probably over a year now, but I just joined the forums tonight.
Anyway, just wanted to say adapting the Games for Windows template to all of my games is exactly what I wanted to do, so I was so happy when I finally got to the most recent page of this thread and saw that you all had decided on the same thing! And all your work is flipping awesome! Seriously nice stuff.
(Plus I love the vibe in the forums, I'm so used to juvenile behavior on forums/comments this is quite refreshing, hah.)
I have a bunch of boxes I can upload when I get a hold of a scanner and Iwhen I finally start converting all my games I'll post my progress.
Keep up the awesome work!

Yeah, as a teenager, I used to just keep my PC games in those CD Folders, but that just lacks so much of a zazz of high-quality covers, not to mention the protection it can afford.
As for behavior on the boards, I'd like to think the niche appeal of this sort of thing has a lot to do with it. Most people I know don't care about how their stuff looks on the shelves while we're the type that gets peeved every time we get a game from Gamestop and there's 50 stickers on the box we have to peel off and hope it doesn't leave junk behind (and it always does...)
Anyway, I'm looking to make covers for a few more of my PC games, but I'm not going to say which. It'd be a pleasant surprise if someone made one of them so I don't have to worry about it, and I don't wanna promise something I may not deliver on.
Oh yeah... welcome to the fold. Hope ya stick around, we can always use more cover makers.

Well, I'd hate to ruin a great franchise, so let me start off with a game that has been pretty much hated by everyone.
Half-Life: Games for Windows

Tried to make the back similar to the back on Half-Life 2.
