Thinner . . . . ATX

I painted up another set of the bars



And put them on the back



Next came the side panel, which is just a pice of plexi with a window cut out of it.



And painted it blue to match the front



As you may remember, I cut out the area above the IO ports; I'll replace it with plexi too.




And here's the back with the bars too.



Now, back to the windowed panel door. More bars.





Then I put it all together.

 

that thin coat of paint on the plexi look like frosted plexi, REALLY NICE

 

the cuts on the plexi look pretty rough, are you gonna file them?

 

I don't know if it's just the pics, but it looks like the plexi is not uniformly painted.

 

It's not, but it will get fixed.

Here she is standing up.

 

wow not anything like i thought you were going to do. very nice. and good use of alternative materials.

 

i love this mod. you may have posted already, but what are the dimensions?

 

61cm tall, 17cm wide, and 23cm deep.

I am no longer using inches for modding. Centimeters are far more accurate.

And there's still more to come...

Although i still use imperial drill bits

Excellent Unique mod

 

I put a window on the right side so the PSU would be exposed.



Then I put in the mobo. The original board is DEAD, so my cheapo PC Chips board is in...







I still have to add the power button and clean up the top, before my next project starts rolling.

 

Looks good, I like the nice unique look of it

 

It looks like your PC is in jail. =)

I think that there is too much grating for my liking. It's works as an accent, but I'm not sure I like its total coverage of the fan/optical fan area. I think that the plastic panel might have been sufficient. Or maybe the grating b the fans could have been painted a contrasting color such as black or red to counter all the blue.

Still, your workmanship and creativity is admirable. I really like the on-off button placement. It would be nifty if you could put a fingerprint reader there as well. Recently they were $10 at Office Depot with a $10 rebate. Or it would have looked tacky. Still, overall I think this deserves a !

 

Be careful with the power button there to ensure that it can't be pressed by an idle hand. Maybe a military-switch style cover, or even a little circle of poly that swivels out of the way?

I've got an iris kicking around my parts box that I intend to use for that purpose someday - have it pop open when the PC shuts down, and then a few seconds after I switch the machine on it closes to prevent some wee bugger turning it off on me
