Case Mod - In Progress λ-Zephyr - New pics and an afterthought...

Thanks Quite happy with it this time.

Thankyou!

I've had an idea for my power button, finally.





It'll be clear acrylic backed with orange vynil, and backlit with a white LED showing HDD activity.

Started on the acrylic already and I'll post pics soon as I actually get somewhere with it

 

Two words " simply perfect "

You could make a 2nd one in the opposite corner for HD activity

 

Thanks! Good idea, maybe I could make that a Lambda, bring round the whole theme to the front too, I'll see how easy/hard the button is first

Woohoo! Xigmateks arrived today, got too busy doing the install and putting the PSU back together, sooooo...

2 Pics of work already done!

One of the fans:


And an overall look at what's goin' on inside:


Eagle eyes ones amongst you may notice that the bottom one is slightly out of alignment with the hole. That's 'cos I made an error doing the measurements for the new mount !DOH! Ah well...

Next up the button! Got the switches for that too now.

 

looking really nice mate

 

Cant say i noticed that woody but i did notice you put "whole" instead of "hole"

Looking good there thought ( new case or mod mine ?? you have me thinking )

 

Thanks Bolx!

Haha, typo corrected Thanks! You should mod your case, it's time consuming but most rewarding!

p.s. You put thought instead of though

 

Really nice mod man and idea!!!!! Way to go buddy!!!!

 

Thanks man! Been cutting the acrylic button today and I have no idea how I'm gonna do the cutout on the front panel. As always though I shall persevere and it shall be done!

Pics soon

 

Good job duder and really different

 

DOH !!! karma bites

 

Thanks! Much appreciated

LOL

Apologies for the pics but a bit of an update, I've cut out the button. Not a bleeding clue how I'm gonna do the holes on the front panel though!



Then:



Any ideas on how to cut the holes out? I've tried allsorts on practise pieces (thank god!).

 

Drill holes with a pretty small drill.
Then use a small file to make the holes wider and more to shape.

 

Yep you're probably right mate, guess I'll have to get me some needle files! I was thinking maybe make a seperate piece for the centre but that'd ruin it I think.

*Edit* Needle files ordered £2.50 off ebay They should be fine for acrylic maybe not anything stronger, lol.

 

It looks really great. Good job.

Thanks v.much Raine

Btw, the £2.50 files were suitably shocking, terribly cast ultra brittle, half the cast missing. Serves me right

New pics! Finally some pics taken not on the phone camera,

Got the wife a Nikon D60 and she took somepics of it for me, thought it would be nails to use what with being a dslr and all but it's soooo easy to take pics with even if they aren't pro standard














Yay! Now about that hole...

More soon

 

Get rid of the Xigmatek sticker, PLEASE

Great job - nice to see moar Valve lovers.

 

Lol, thanks Stonesurd, it has been removed! Yeah gotta love Valve

Thanks John!

I'm thinking I might make some fan centre stickers just like EEL did on his Checkmate, his looked nice and I think they're a great touch. Maybe one day someone will be nabbing my ideas

Still not started on the cutout, cos I reallllyy don't wanna wreck my front, lol!

*Edit* Please to note, yes I did get the cats to match my colour scheme Not really but they wouldn't shift!
