Case Mod - In Progress Project: Green Turbine update 15-08-2008

Ummh you MIGHT be able to mask the front panel and paint the inside of the tube black? Dunno, that might work and give a bit of contrast for the green to also the bottom section of the front panel.. This way you could also sand it down a bit, use more primer and get perfect finish to the tube w/o doing the whole front panel again?

Looks nice, I'm not a fan of turbine mods (I sorta did one when I was 14 or so to my first case mod), but you sure made it nicely.

 

Yes Jipa that's a good idea. Next week I have my final examination for this schoolyear so not much time to mod. But I think I will use your idea, just paint the inside of the tube black. Since I need to sand a big part of the green paint off anyway.

Thanks for the idea.

 

I'm an expert in going around the problems You wouldn't believe how many "whoops"s and "well I can do it this way and none will know"s I had with my last build. That's what follows when you're tired and busy trying to get the case done in time.

 

nice would you paint the top of the turbine in green or black

 

Hes refering to this, http://i31.tinypic.com/209rarn.jpg

what looks like a Lian Li V-series castor wheel

Sidepannel done




Top pannel




Casefeet








The front looks a bit yellow, Its only painted once because a need to sand it again, I will wait to paint it a second, third time.

 

Will U correct this?

 

of course a will

 

Looking nice, reminds me i need to buy some feet

 

Nice work done. Hope the fan can handle the extra weight

 

Update:

Modding time I've sanded the turbine fan again and I've put a primer on it. I've also put a final coat on the top pannel. Last but not least I made a little pannel for the back outtake fan. Look @ update 1 you will know what I mean.

dang problems again. the sidepannel won't close annymore I'll have to fix that.

 

can't you put that plate on the inside of the case?
that'll save you a single mm, or maybe 2.
Or maybe try to countersunk the bolts a bit.

Gl with it. mod on.

 

I'll try to drill 2 holes so that the screws fit. The plate is only 1mm thick so that would not chause to much problems.

 

I need some good ideas for my sidepannels. The collor is nice but there is missing somthing. any ideas ???,

 

just cut some piece of metal (alu tin), give it some nice shape,polish it and glue it to the sidepanels..it could look cool.

 

1 good idea. But which shape did you hade in your mind.

 

That color man....wow. I can totally dig it. Put a good layer of clearcoat on and polish it.

 

my idea was something like this,to show the "velocity look" of turbine.

or you could use more pieces of alu in various shapes. one of my idea is this:

polished alu could be very nice on that green sidepanel,i think.
