That case is something like 200 pounds. Wouldn't it be cheaper to scratch build? What if something goes wrong and it gets messed up?

Update 3

Time for the top window.



Drilling holes for a better cut with the saw.


I was forgetting to take more pictures when i use the jig saw.






Time now for the sidewindow to do somthing else than a window, honeycumb will look also good.


Clamps.


Added some plexi on the windows.


Primer.


Time for simple black paint.






First test with the lights.


NOw its time for the real lights, Revoltec send me those 2 sets for the mini casemod, also i have some bad news, i lost 2 updates, the fan in the mini casemod was also modded, i added a usb connector on the fan, also lost the unboxing of the APC board itself.

Well time for the pictures.







Love the red


Perfect.






First test.


Final paint job and the APC is also installed.










Here a image off the fan cable on the usb connector.












A bicycle for your mind.


Other colors will also be nice.








Done for now, next update will be soon, i am waiting now for a keyboard and a mouse and mousepad.

Also i will be working on the fan and i hope to find the images of the apc board i am lost now, get data back is a good programm

See ya next time.

Looks great.

What mouse is that? Looks cool, reminds me on Logi G700.

[Mexel]

Thats a nexus silent mouse. No clicking sound is perfect for a livingroom system

Tnx.
Yes on the site is only a pre order, i was in contact with via and they send me one for this casemod.
Soon there will be more info about the new shipments and orders.

Neat upgrade to an already interesting case. That's the first time I've seen a custom extrusion for the motherboard tray. Your munchkin should get a kid-sized mouse too. I'd hate to see juvenile carpal tunnel become the new ADHD.

[Mexel]

Yes a new mouse and keyboard is comming soon, only i could find a smaller mouse, this one is idd to big.

This mouse is the SM-5000B for nexus

Now i am getting a

re139 - Revoltec Cordless Mini Mouse C204

And a

re147 - Revoltec Chocolate mini Cordless Keyboard K107

Hi there all,

Got my last update completed, maybe there will be a video off it later.

Here are the last pictures from the Little Red Box.



The mouse, keyboard and mousepad.




















Tnx Daniel and JP for sending this pakkage.

More pictures will be added soon, also i am waiting for the WLAN stick for the APC.

[Mexel]

Need new a new idea,

how about to wrap the keyboard in red carbon ?
maybe paint the whole case, also the front and back. How do you think off that.

[SilveR_172]

i think the whole case black would be a brilliant idea , a nice matt/Low gloss finish ,

[Brad555]

In black its looking so nice and beutifull.
