Case Mod - In Progress Project: NLM. FINISHED 11.08.07

this is looking absolutlely amazing. that fridge is going to be really great at LAN's. when your dew gets cold, just pull it out and pop another one in and drink it. in the words of guiness: "Brilliant!" the sleeving is really good looking too.

x2 on the screws tho.

where is the optical drive going?

 

Well, I planed use bolts with a head like this:


But when looking around on dmpolish I think they’ve got screws that’ll fit my design very well.
Here’s some of my options:


Or maybe those, in black they should be hard to see, an maybe that’s good



But maybe you guys have some cool bolts to show me? Any suggestions?


Edit: No optical drives man Don't need that s**t

 

Is the material thick enough to counter-sink? I think totally smooth would be nice.

 

No I don’t think it’s. But tomorrow I can make a little experiment to see how it’ll turn out. I think that’s a good idea! And if it’ll work I’m going off with those (black off cause)

Then they’ll be almost invisible, and that’s maybe cool

 

I got an old tiny fridge leing around somewhere... one of those lame ones you could win from Carlsberg at the world championship in football . Maybe i can find a use for it in a mod afterall

Grrrrreat work

 

Dead on!

 

I love it!

 

I just love this project! The minimalistic style is so good.
Sorry but i have to steal the idea on the frontpanel for my next project.

 

this is just plain sexy

 

really great work man, nice plexi work there

 

Thank you guys

anitiHero @ You're welcome..

 

Nice job, keep it up!!

 

Looking very nice!, GJ

 

Just a thought since your going with water cooling, would lower temps be worth being thirsty for abit longer? because you have the perfect mobile water chiller there.

In fact, I might use the idea myself, dont imagine it would take too much to add some inlet/outlet connectors to the mini fridge and seal it off.

 

This is by far one of the coolest mods I have ever seen! Keep up the good work!

PS. love the orange acrylic

 

Very nice case, like it!
Keep up the good work man!

 

Thanks guys

Hixin @ Yep I'm going to watercool the peltierelement in the fridge. Then there'll be tubbing outside the case, and my choke should be veeeery nice and COLD

 

I was thinking more along the lines of using the home grown mini fridge to chill the coolant for you wc loop.

Would also remove the need for a rad and resi.

But then again, that resi youve already got looks sweet.

Speaking of the Resi, before putting the caps on the ends, could putting a disks of pexi in be an option? Id imagine it would look great considering the theme you already have going.

 

This is looking very very good! I love the black brushed look. What type of paint did you use and how much layers to keep the brushed look ? I see u used ColorWorks paint but is it semi-gloss or just plain matte ?

 

I REALLY like your style, not an expensive mod, just some very good ideas and some good tools can really make a difference. Like the colorscheme, like how clean is it, and I like your attention to detail. Keep it up.
