very nice, very clean look, love the fan grill idea, almost hides the fact that theres fans there. and the frosting really adds to the look i think. just gives it more of a "professional" look i guess, but very nice.
Coming along nicely. At first I was not sure how this mod would go, but it looks like you've got the artistic tempremat to pull it off! Good show!
Not much of an update today. I did a lot of clean up work. Like filing edges and sanding things. Here is the back fan sanded and polished. I also got the fan blades painted silver but forgot to take the pic of it assembled. I didn`t get much done because this showed up in the mail. I was going to use it as a sidekick to this case but its just too big. I`m going to put another pc in it. I`m going to polish the inner shell with the bench grinder I got for christmas. I just need to purchase polishing wheels for it. Just imagine the inside polished to a mirror finish. I get all giddy just thinking about it. Oh yea I will need to get rid of that apple. Here is my bench grinder minus the polishing wheel. Hopefully I don`t get too distracted by my new case.
O. M. F. G. That is amazing! Jaysus, I thought the towers looked ok stock. But now... just... wow. I want... *grabs* Mine! Seriously though, that's amazing. I mean... c'mon! B E A UTIFUL! About the cube, if you want no apple logo, here's a removing guide. http://cubeowner.com/kbase_2/index.php?page=index_v2&id=11&c=20 Keep modding the amazing way! *whistles* No artistic bones in my body.
Looking good. The cubes are ace too. Very tight fit to squeeze anything inside them though. Even mini-itx, it requires some tweaking to get the mobo in. There's my log of my cube mod here www.gordyhand.co.uk/maccube.htm
the frosted plexi front looks amazing! The top fan grill is very nice as well, an improvement over the previous one. Can't wait to see it frosted as well
K today no actual modding was done but the rewards of modding was achieved. First I had to see how good the bench grinder does at polishing. So i went out to sears and bought a 6in polishing wheel with two compounds, It came out pretty darn good. Only the middle was polished hence the sanding marks on the edges. I can`t wait till I start polishing that G4 cube. Finally here is what I wanted to show you guys. I went and brought a spare psu because I just wanted to see how the front looked lit up with the leds from the fan controller. My jaw dropped when it lit up too. I don`t mean to sound arrogant but even I have to admit it freaking looks awesome. These pics were taken in a semi-lit room. Imagine how it`ll look in a dark room.
When you say you need to get rid of the apple do you mean the cube case or the inners? If so ill be interested in the shell.
I meant the logo on the shell. I need to cut it out or something. Sorry I didnt mean it to seam like i wanted to sell it. I just got it and its for a future project.
nice, where from? i can only find £200 on ebay.co.uk, but thats with the guts, all i want is the shell
Sorry guys but for some reason my server is acting up. If the pics don`t load just keep reloading the page.
Quick question: What epoxy did you use to adhere the aluminum panels to the inside of the acrylic parts? I need to do something similar in my project and I've never used anything other than solvents. Fabulous work so far.
