Scratch Build – In Progress Vapor - laptop mod - finall photos

My Toshiby Satellite A200 needs a new case.

Yesterday I've started glueing display matrix cover. Here you can see back side. It will be also laptop cover. You can see the brass inlay.





There is a front frame.



Today I've started to make some decorating elements.



I've milled small groove to place them.





A little sanding. A little milling and I can drill holes to join the two parts of the matrix case.











End of day 2.

 

Me likey!
tough job to take on i think, but judging by the start you are on it

 

I've added lcd hinges.





And I was finishing cover a little more.





End of day 3.

 

Yesterday I had no time to complete the worklog.

I will probably put the keyboard in this way.







A small fitting to lcd.



And finished lcd cover





End of day 4

 

Yesterday I've started to do some fittings of the motherboard.

At the moment I've made a cpu fan grill:






First panel with connectors: audio and SD card slot.







And the last think for today is a Wi-Fi switch.



End of day 6

 

I'm really liking that!
Subbed!

 

Steampunk builds is always fun to watch and laptop-mods isnt easy to find. Looking good!

 

Great job so far I look forward to seeing more!

 

Thanks guys


Today I've took care of the next part of the case.
The second CPU fan grill and a second set of sockets.











End of day 7

 

You sir, are a clock killer!

Nice work

 

All elements on the first fitting.





Here I have a plexiglass "embedded" in the wood. Underneath are LEDs.





And the views from the sides.





End of day 7.

 

Really cool. I like how you inset the decoration. -Best use of a coat hanger EVER!

 

A few changes. But it's still all in the "raw state".











End of day 9.

 

fantastic steampunk! really like the design tho i think you use more then needed thickness in the material

 

Thanks And you are right about thickness Wait a while, please.

 

Good to see you back with more awesome quality modding.

 

Hi and thanks Waynio I would like to make more of my projects. But it's a little hard to make them without sponsorship

 

They are just a few little things to do and the laptop cover will be finished.









And here you can see the speaker covers.





End of day 10.

 

That is one awesome laptop sir!

 

Great job!! I was thinking some time ago on doing something similar to that, but that level of attention to detail never went through my head!
