Case Mod - In Progress Case Mod: ..::L A N B O Y - A P O C A L Y P S E::.. VIDEO! 2.5 days at Mnpctech

Wicked start, gotta be the biggest challenge ever!! Taking this ugly butt stupid case and making something awesome with it.

No doubts that you will make it so everyone wants it.

 

Oh darn I remember Awesome idea for a project.

Stars & rep

 

Ohh go on include the figure ...

I see the star troll has been at work.. + rep + stars

 

Thank you everyone!!

I wish we could implement him, but value my friendship with Erik more You know how Geeks are about their Collector Action Figures remaining in their blister paks...lol

The Stainless Steel Reservoir made by Cheapskate with Transparent Purple acrylic caps and clear acrylic clamps.









Determining the Res location over the Mnpctech blowhole ring on the front of the PC......



I fabricated the Bezel from Fractal-Design Arc Midi and Lancool Dragon K58 top panels

 

Looking great Bill, Im loving all the socket head screws,very industrial.

 

It looks tiny the way you are holding it. Potato gun enthusiasts should look into this material. The tube is rated at 1000psi and is bored smooth inside. It has the potential to make a hash brown launcher.

Maybe the one-star rater is an Antec employee getting his revenge?

 

@Ron, lovin your Iron Man build, excellent job as usual!

LOL! 1st time Antec bothered to participate in our community.. 1st step for help is always the hardest..

 

this is starting to look amazing! Cant wait to see this thing finished

 

But it doesnt collect dust!..... IT IS DUST

 

The custom bezel was given distressed and weathered paint effect.



The bezel is painted with Charcoal Grey Metallic paint, then highlighted with Flat Black paint.



Areas of the painted are scuffed with red Scotch-brite pad to create weathered effect.

This is nice. I like distressed.

Thank you!

Kyle and I visited Brad Galvin to see his progress on Scirocco's next project and borrow his space to airbrush shadows on the reservoir and more weathered effects on the PSU, gpu and bezel.... Kyle is using Brad's Iwata's HP-CH airbrush gun with Black enamal paint

 

Mad max wohoo
(made a mad max dune buggy for a event/ride last summer, really like the theme)
And i like this case as well, you're doing a great job

 

I had to give props to Antec after sharing our project "LANBOY APOCALYPSE" on their facebook page, since it's widely known that I bashed it in my review. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...88.78242167441&type=1&theater&notif_t=mention
It showed that they can take the high road...

Thank you! that is Awesome! can you please PM a link or photo of your project?!

 

This is turning out bad ass! Good work Kyle and Bill! You guys kick ass! This inspires me to build an apocalyptic case now... lol

 

Like the res & this is coming along sweet overall.

 

My Father was the dentist on the USS Missouri for the Japanese surrender. He had a saying - "You can paint a turd, but all you end up with is a painted turd." You guys proved him wrong. Excellent build.

/Ninja edit
He had a LOT of expressions like that.

 

^ Great way of putting it.

 

great mod!
it would be nice to use _real_ container for radioactive stuff for some modding... yeah i know they pretty big (for adequate internal volume), looks like nothing and could be radioactive... we all know how they looks from movies but idea is good
i.e. this is container for Be-Pu neutron source
[ot]i have biohazard containers at my work for blood and other human stuff, but nothing spectacular - just a plastic box with biohazard logo[/ot]

 

@Dennis, You will have soo much fun

@John, I bet he did, I would have loved to have met your father John

@Waynio, Cheaps amazes us again, as usual..lol. We're looking into making a run of these.. He is going to share more of his build process for the Res here as well

@Vetalar, Thank you! that looks ideal! wondering where I can find those stateside for future project... 1st guess would be Medical Supply Outfit
