Case Mod - In Progress Project: AnG3L -MOTM April 2009 Winner- (FINISHED!!! June 19)

Thanks my friend! I am now working on the front bezel and... my God!!! Its worse than a science lesson! I have to fix the wings on it, i have to make the double turbine.... ouf! Be back soon with pics!!!

 

So I am back again with the design I did for the reservoir stand and some other parts for my mod.

Here is the latest technology on CNC cutting machines and offcourse my orange fluorescent acrylic ready to be cut!



Here are the parts for the res stand, the window for the wings, and a piece that I will create a sun for the right side panel



Here are some pictures of the workshop








You wont believe what that workshop can create! Until the website is done you can contact mr. Chris Kozis at kozisc@cytanet.com.cy with any design created on Corel Draw (cdr, eps format) or Illustrator. Also you can ask for a creation, even if this is a pc case, or anything else you like (box for your watercooling components etc). There is a huge variety of colours, just ask and mr.Chris will be happy to answer to your emails!

And here is my Asus GTX 295... ready to be watercooled!!

 

Looking great so far, I also like your impressive set of machines you've got to work with. Do you have any sketches or 3D renders of what the case will look like when its finished?

 

No my friend its a little bit complcated for me to draw that even in a piece of paper!

 

Cool AXYS table. My router is of the same brand, but much older.
AXYS is down the street from my workshop - it's an impressive facility.

Build is looking good - eagerly waiting for more.

 

Thanks bro, I 'll do my best!

 

Wow, that CNC Machine isn't just a couple of servos and a dremel, now is it

 

The acrylic parts that it would be double I prefer to use CNC for accurate cuts. The rest... I will use the old fashion way!

 

So here I am with the work I ve done on the front bezel (which is not done yet!) but I would like to show some progress.

I will also make a video later on with all of the process for the creation with the wings attached on.



Rotary tool kit on action! (I couldnt find any hole saw on that size in my country... God I hate this)



Fiber glass ....



Isopon 38 for the smooth finish



Here is almost the final look. I used a special technique with 40... yes 40 layers of 2 different colors (fluorescent orange and black mat) and primer along the way. To make the orange color darker i used black and to make that brighter I used primer. For the sculpture I used a small sculpting tool for wood. That technique took me 8 days....







I' ll post more pictures as soon as I finish this!

 

Feel free to comment

 

Nice work on the CNC'ed acrylic parts

The front panel is looking great!

 

nice effect on the front panel is this the color that you will use

 

stonedsurd: Thanks bro!
Nolimited: Thanks man, yes the main theme is black and orange but also on one of the two watercooling loops will be uv green, and also some cables and fans!

 

Are you sure about going with UV green plus the black n orange? Might look a little off, IMO.

 

Outside the theme will be black and orange. the interior only will have green. I believe its nice i dunno check this



its my rig. This is how it looks inside.

 

I wanna say something to all my fellow modders and pc enthusiasts about the way I think!
I ve seen a lot of mods in my life and I ve noticed something. Some of them they are so complcated with so many blink blinks, litlle lcd's popping out from everywhere etc etc. For me a nice mod is a functional mod with simple lines and beauty! U can paint your case red and add a watercooling system and maybe will look waaaaaaaaaay better of a mod that costs 6000 dollars with all of these useless thingies on it! This is my humble opinion. Btw, modding is art and we are some goddamn good artists!!!

 

Couldn't agree more.
I prefer the subtle myself, but I'm going to break that tendency a little this summer

 

Summer modding!

I need some help, I have 2 Vandal switches but... no instructions came with them.
They are some numbers behind the switch. Anyone who did that before pls??

 

Try PM'ing Bill Owens (mnpctech). His site has them, so I'd assume he'd know how to solve the issue.
Or wait, I'm sure someone would drop by with a fix.

 

not sure if this help
