Scratch Build – In Progress Project : Zotac ITX Rebox -12th Feb - Completed - MOTM nominee

Looks like you got this to perfection now bugeye neat good looking quality little cases, I can see them being popular .

 

DIY strip heater, DIY bending jig & lots of practice.

 

Thanks Fuganater ..... See SuicideNeils post for the answer

Took the words right out of my keyboard

Thanks Waynio ..... I made a few of them now and feel like I'm starting to get the hang of making them


Made a start on the switch cables .. I don't mind admitting that doing this was really really tedious .. just need to solder them to the switches now

 

Holy moly can imagine.

 

Very nice work .

Just curious can you fit ITX board with i3 processor? does it have space to fit a slim DVD Rom in there?

 

Looks good bro. Very nice to have such a basic yet good looking and functional design. You are also doing a god job making them. I'm sure it will $$ pay $$ off soon enough.

 

Sorry must have missed that. Sub'd to too many threads -.- I think I have enough spare acrylic laying around I could try this but need to figure out the bender.

 

What with all that 10mm ali I'm sure you can

Thanks Shah It should take a board with an i3 and the stock Intel cooler . It should take any board and cooler combination that conforms to the itx form factor . I've tried it with a few different boards and they all work but tbh thats my big worry .... maybe I've missed something somewhere

As for a DVD ROM .... this case won't take one , there is room under the board but the construction method makes it rather difficult to getting all working . That said if this case goes well I might have a go at one that will work with a DVD drive and a full size HDD .....

Thanks Razer Just what I was aiming for ... something clean and simple that looks good and doesn't cost the earth to buy As for the $$ or ££ there's enough to make it work spending to odd weekend in the workshop producing them but I'm not about to retire on the proceeds , if they make a bit to put towards more modding I'll be more than happy

No worries Fug' .... so many threads .... so little time there is more info on the strip heater in the thread , mainly pages 1 and 2

 

That is good . I think you haven't missed anything

I will be interested to see a version with DVD ROM and full size HDD.

 

Well shah if I have it's to late now

Production under way



My transformer was struggling with the extended use .... bit of a ghetto mod

 

Oh money! The heck with trying to bend some. I'll just bribe you to hook me up

 

20 on the go

Good stuff.

 

You have been busy nicely done

 

This is great! Cant wait for more

 

No need for bribery .... you can just buy one

19 now

Getting there .....




Left to do ....

Drill and tap the screw holes that hold the cover on , solder the switch leads to the switches and fit all the hardware ..... put them in boxes

 

How much will you be charging for these?

 

just to clarify; there's no room for a full size hard drive?

 

I don't want to say just yet I know what I want them to cost and I'm pretty sure that I've got it right but I want to finish them first . I don't want say one thing now and then change it later .

Sorry no room for a full size hdd but space for three 2.5" drives

 

That's not bad at all.

 

Plans for a version that will accept slot load drive from a laptop?
