Case Mod - In Progress Saturday Night Special.. OMG I'm in the MOTY woooohoooo

Haha, photoshop!

Looking forward to see what you are going to do with this - you are keeping pretty tight lipped!

 

I do actually have a pic with out the foot, I was going to change it but where's the fun in that

And yes I'm keeping tight lipped, mainly because I haven't actually got a clue what I'm doing, I'm just making it up as I go along.....lol

well I do have a plan but I know I won't stick to it, I never do

 

just go all MacGyver on it, we won't mind
planning is good, but it sometimes limits us when we come up with something better along the way.

edit:
i post this message, and my next stop in reading was lifehacker, and look what i found there

 

MacGuyver, there's a program that takes me back about 20 years .....lol

 

Right then, here's the current state of play. Not done a lot that you can actually see but all the edges around the doors and panels have been smoothed down, a right pain in the ar*e as it all 2mm steel.

Heres a couple of pics of it as things are at the moment. I thought I might have had the aluminum today but no sign of it so every things on hold for a day or so.

As you can see there's a hell of a lot of this case no longer attached to it. So for now you can have a look at some holes...lol




thanks for looking

 

Holy case im excited to see how this is going to turn out!

 

Yeah so am I. I've got a feeling that it's going to take a while though, I've still got so much stuff to buy for it yet.

 

Bloody hell. You started quickly on that one.

 

No time like the present as they say.

And it coincided nicely with me have 2 weeks off work.

 

OMG shoe!

 

I know Kid, not right is it mate. I genuinely had trouble sleeping last night after that happened.

And now we've got the shoe thing sorted, on the modding front not a lots happened, but all the aluminum and plexi I've been waiting for arrived today and I raped one of my old cases for it's insides. Tomorrow I'm going to start the good stuff and start making up all the new panels, grills etc.

 

Ahh, looking forward to a sweet "Mozart" case mod here

 

I've got some big ideas for this one Bill. I just hope they don't turn out to be bigger than my modding ability..lol

 

Wow, this looks like its going to be an awesome ride

Can you give away any ideas you have on colours?

 

Just don't leave the case in the garage whilst you are reversing in and having your attentions drawn elsewhere, otherwise you'll end up with squished TT Mozart case for the recycling I was so fed up that day I can tell ya

 

Till now I thought my Yeong Yang Cube was huge...., can´t wait to see more from your work Jeff!

sub´d & +rep´d

 

No...It's a secret, mainly because I'm not to sure myself yet...lol. I've got 3 colour schemes, so I'll decide on one much later in to the build.

I have an advantage over you on this. That is the fact I don't have a garage, just a drive and thats full up with cars already...lol

Thanks StonieX, It's a big old lump thats for sure. I'm going to be starting on the grills today, so with a bit of luck I'll have a nice update tonight.

 

Much much better now bro!!! One more hint though, that TT sign there has to be removed somehow imo. One way is to add Isopon 40 (body filler) and then sand it unless you are going to powdercoat the case. About the top now. If you are going to add the acrylic its better not to make holes for the fans and the add a grill on the top. Some kind of ventilation that will look like a custom grill must be cut and drill only the screws for the fans. This is your mod for sure lolz but I hope I can help with my little ideas!!! Mod on brother, modding a steel case is a PITA I feel ya but you are rocking here!!

 

Thanks for the input Alex. The TT logo was always going to be filled anyway and the top grill in the plexi will be made in the same style as the back one. It'll have to have a couple of fans in though for the rads because I don't want to drawing air in from the back of the case and the top section of the case will have no air flow at all once the new floor goes in. And now I'm giving away all my secrets..lol

You'll see what I mean once it all starts going together, which if I'm lucky will be tonight or tomorrow.

 

Looking sweet Jeff!

Have fun tearing it up ^^
