I dismantled the case for a large part. I will start the topic beginning with the dismanteling of the last part of the case.

The lower part for the 12 HD’s has been removed.



The parts that will be used again.



Solid door. Comes in three parts.



Last headstock nail drilled out.





Not much left this way.



This part is nice to work on, I have all the space I need. Thinking about the stealth part which will be used in this case as well.



And the rest of the casing completely disassembled.



The case bears the theme Point of View.

One sidepanel will bear the Point of View.logo in 3d.



The other sidepanel will get a double windowframe with pieces of text, which also will bear the Point of View. theme.

Other materials that will be used. Aluminium for the stealth part. Several sorts of plexiglass.
The rest of the case will be polished or chromed.

[ThaDheiz_NL]

This is going to become another high quality mod of ediejo

[Trash_Master]

this looks sweet im gona folow this one

[Ediejo]

The planes about this mod are changed. The outside from the case will be white. (Powder coating). For the inside I have a plate carbon fiber from 1, 5 by 1, 75 meter. That must be enough for the hole inside and some things at the out-side. I hope to start after this weekend with the carbon fiber.

[Duste]

Carbon fibre seems to be the "in" thing now, even manufacturers are using it in cases! Can't wait to see what you do, Ediejo!

[marauder16]

wow, can't wait to see what will come out of this one, good luck man!

[Ediejo]

@Duste, I make my planes for the case 2 times now. But that is no problem. At the moment I am working at 2 reviews for me site. I hope to finish the reviews this week. Than I have the time and the workplace free. The color combination will be white outside with carbon inside and some chrome details. More modders are using carbon in there cases that’s right and even manufacturers are using it in there cases so as you said. When you go to the side from lian-li And you look to the black201. The alu part that is blank at the door will be chrome. Behind the front door, there will be a little change the only thing I am gone change there are the bezels. That part will be carbon. And I try to make the radgrill from carbon. And I have a brand new idea about cable sleeve. Soon more about that.

@marauder 16, thanks.

[elliod]

really nice ideas man cant wait to see what the end result will be
keep up the good work.

[Ediejo]

I can start with the carbon.

[Duste]

Sexy! DD

[Ediejo]

I workout some idea’s about the carbon. So I will make a cover plate for the drive bays. To cover the DVD-ROM and the reservoir for the water-cooling. The bezels will be change for carbon. Also the mainboard tray will be carbon. And some more parts will be covered by carbon.

On the bottom from the case and on the part what separate the case in two parts there I will put white plexi. To let the outside colour come back inside. I hope I can make my own radgrill from carbon for the dual radiator in the top from the case. To let the inside come outside.

At the door there is a part of black aluminium that will be chrome. Now I have 3 colours White Carbon and Chrome.

2 from the 3 colours are coming back in the watercooling.

For the CPU from Innovatek the G-Flow



The VGA cooler.



And I do something with the cooler. The black part will be covered with carbon. The aluminium part will be chromed. So that it fix with the CPU cooler.

The reservoir the black fass-o-matic from Innovatek. That comes in the carbon plate behind the door.



I have also 2 x 120mm radiators from the Msi. By one the aluminium part will be chromed and the other one will be black. The black one comes in the front at the bottom from the case. And the chrome one comes behind in the case.



At the bottom part from the case everything will be black because the watercooling for the hard disks are also black.



And the power supply is also black.



The casefans are also chrome with white led’s



I order also some led’s by Ledsee

White one.


And purple one



I think about purple light at the bottom part from the case and white light in the top part. Ore the hole case purple. Let me know what you think about it.

[Ediejo]

The outlining of the two plates of plexi.



This is the well-known piece of tape and the rest of the supplies I need to outline my plexi.



It’s always convenient to have two pieces of plexi. In that case you can use one as a measure instrument.



The bottom piece of plexi is quite simple. A straight one with two slides in it.



Let’s see if it will fit tomorrow.



Than it’s time for the upper piece of plexi. There are a few corners which have to disappear, so I have to cut them out.



Also for this one stands that you have to measure en re-measure it en then with a pencil you draw the correct lines.



So, this one is ready too. Tomorrow I will start with the sawing part of the job. I will do that on a sawingbench, that goes very easily.



It’s not that exciting, but I’ll see you tomorrow and then we will find out if I outlined it correctly. See you tomorrow!

[Ediejo]
