Hello and welcome to the forums! A couple of things to note:

1) Your first 10 posts / threads will need moderation and so won't appear straight away - there's no need to post them more than once.

2) When using imgur to host your pics you'll want to use the 'Direct Link' rather than the 'Image Link' or your pictures won't appear (I fixed them this time). Also it's best to use the 'Large Thumbnail' option so your pics don't appear too big here.

Good luck with the mod!

 

ok, thanks

 

photos of the case, i have removed all possible parts, is a full modular case like you can see

 

some photos of the front cutted





the folds were made by a very special machine that use large companies and it was really difficult to find, more I work on this case and more I think that the welding / assembly / folding method are very very accurate and valid , at the highest levels , a huge congratulations and thanks goes to inwin for this great job, I thank especially for the possibility to working on this product

 

Your pics are broken (again) - you need to add .jpg to the end or use the imgur direct link - you can edit your post by clicking edit below it.

 

done

 

first welds made

 

creating a lower support on the base of the case to make the structure more solid

 

i weld the structure to make it more solid, in this days i'll grind the weld to make it uniform with the rest

 

I grind the weld to make it uniform with the rest

 

I'm creating a panel that starts from the ex base of the dframe mini to the back, I made the holes for the i/o port of the dframe (see photo) and the second hole is for the fans/pumps controller

 

created the support for the plexiglas

 

plexiglas cutted, two sides and front done

 

welded plates and all welds polished, after painting we will see how it will be

 

Here i am with a new sponsor, Thanks to Asrock for this beatiful motherboard

 

It's the "D-Frame Less-Mini" Looks like it should shape up to be pretty cool!

 

thanks, i have some important news to share this week so stay tuned

 

Neat. I like it when people mod an "un-moddable" case.
