Case Mod - In Progress Gymkhana Mod / COMPLETED!!!

Yeah, you might want to keep that MSI contact information a bit more secret..

Other than that, nice gear! Well deserved because I think this is an awesome mod!

 

Nutman - Let's think about it... nawt. Back mobo is better combo with white background then with green.
yassarikhan786 - Thank you!
TotalGaos - Thanks! Before uploading the photos I ask my MSI contact a question about his contact informations and he said it's not problem.

-WORKFLOW-​

Day 29: 2011-10-29 / Task: ... + new sponsor

As you noticed on the previous photos I leave untouched small metal pece near the the PCI slot covers. I had the idea (with the devily details) to mask and paint the name of the mod to that piece. I cleaned the piece to the bone and paint 3 layers of black. After drying the masking came and the white paint. After an hour I peeled off the masking vinyl.. FAIL. The black paint followed the masking and peeled off too
Okay.. It's not horrible. For better result I sanded with rougher sandingpaper. That day was cured. The second try had the same result.. Black peeling
So I decided to use the self adhesive vinyl method again. (I was running out of patience and the plotted vinyl has the quality too )

In these day I got the support by an another sponsor and the sponsors I have sent me parts.

Whoa, Coolermaster fanboy

Nice stuff - sorry aboyt the peeling. How did you manage to get it right in the end?

 

Nutman - A high quality printed vinyl got the printed word Gymkhana Mod. This decal went to the little covering metal piece.



I almost forget to attach image. As you can see I have some backup of them

 

Nice. Some awesome goodies you have there

 

Wherr do you order those vinyl decals? Any online place? Id like to order some...

 

He ordered from me by contacting. We don't have the usual webshop because we can print everything you want from business cards to cutted out vinyl stickers. We also print to artistic-canvas, paper or molino/banner. I was his man when he wants the laser-cutted and engraved skulls too like a idea-realizer

 

-FINAL WORKFLOW-​

Day 30: 2011-11-17 / Task: Assembling
This was the most special day of the whole creating process because I can tell my efforts was worth it...
Long -awaited the project Gymkhana Mod was done.
But I write some row about the final work hours before show the photos.

The two fans has their fan-controller potmeter. I need to find place for them so I decided to use the I/O panel on the back. Drilled and painted to black (again because I already painted black before but who cares.. worth it)...
The plexiglas glued with two-sided tape and hotglue to it's permanent place.
The rear fan got a sticker to its centre you can see why.
I started two installing the parts to the case but after two pics I forgot to take more...

*Later on I will do a little modification on the CPU coolers top and I'll do the cable sleeving. (I will update my worklog)
*VGA - For now I use the mainboard-integrated vga but Im on the way to get a VGA which fits to the entire design.

I almost forgot to mention the configuration. Enormous thanks to all the sponsors who supports my project! Without us the inside was empty.

This thing is awesome.

 

This thing puts awesome in the corner.

 

just

 

Would be cool if you got the "hooligan on board" sign lit up, aswell as doing the "invisible bluray-ROM" mod with the carbon vinyl slot cover...But other then that (My own taste...) it is an awesome mod!

You are worthy of the sponsorships for sure!!!

 

Very impressive!

Especially like the DC thumb screws!

If I sould mention one little tiny thing... It would be sleeving the psu!

 

Really nice work Moddingboy as I said in the MOTM thread this is true modding just making a case look good without much consideration for the hardware. And you very much deserve the sponsorship for that fact on its owns I think.

Got to agree with a couple of things people have said above me though a few final things will just finish this off nicely.

Looking forward to the next build

 

Excellent work, Dude!

 

Amazing end result. I really love everything about this mod .
