Modding 101 part1: castors, handles and side windows.

http://bit-tech.net/article/112/

As the news post:

Our very own Macroman kicks the ball rolling, revealing some modding secrets, in this the first of a bit-tech brand series of 'Modding 101' guides. New and experienced modders alike should find something of interest in these detailed and easy to follow articles. Where better to start than the begining, so back to basics and read on to get the Macroman low down on fitting castors, handles and a side window.

Got any comments, questions, death threats? Let us know here

 

This should be renamed to the modding 404 guide

 

Try again.. my wee fingers aren't as quick as they used to be

 

not bad dude can't wait for the update on that one

 

Ahhh! Careful, EXPENSIVE case their friend!!

I likes the move of the window there, adds to the minimalistic nature of the case... sweet

I hope you plan to add 2 80mm fans on the motherboard tray - I'm lucky enough to have that tray and was thinking about adding another fan to that rear and a Black Ice Micro 2 rad. I figure there's about 2mm spare - so it'll look professional and that.

 

nice little guide, but when are you going to work on macroblack....

 

hi,

thx for the article - useful as ever.

can u let us know of the suppliers for handles and castors ?

 

www.kustompcs.co.uk do the handles - dunno if that's where they came from though

 

thx... and the castors ????

ive looked for castors for ages now but with not luck - none of the usually suppliers stock them anymore

 

B&Q

 

of course !!!

 

i like the idea of these articles...wouldnt mind seeing:
the top window mod
making blowholes
case painting
and wire cleanup
...would be a nice bit to throw in, i know alot of ppl who have made killer cases but the wiring is still poopey, i myself -had- one of those cases...i think ive now mastered the art of cable tidying
let me know if you want a partner for that

 

I need to replace the plexiglass on my Lian Li case, which is held in place with aluminium plates riveted to the panel.

I like the look of the hex-headed screws that are used in the Coolermaster case featured in this article, and I'd like to replace the rivets with these when I replace the plexi.

Anyone know where I can get them from (or some like them)? I've tried the big DIY stores like B&Q and Homebase without luck, even tried Screwfix direct - no cheer.

Ideas anyone?

 

well igot some that i used for my fan grills a while back
got very similar ones from home depot
....guess theres no home depot in the uk

 

Just bought a CM101 took 1 look, jumped out to Macros modding 101 and started in on it.

Please please write the rest of this article

Thanks for all your hard work macro, n00bs like me really appreciate it.
