Superman logo Cutted out! Part 1

Update - 06.05.07

I promised you an update at the end of the week, so here it is! What i have focused on this time is the logo on the side door and some plan changes.


Some pictures of the buttons


























Some candy! My little sister is watching it for us, or should i say eating ..?


Drawing the Superman - Logo, my girlfriend helped me with that





And then she added something for me ^^


The first hole cutted roughly


The metal saw blades was not exactly top quality, but it was the only one that broke

To be continued..

Superman logo Cutted out! Part 2


hole number two cutted out


Me working outside, took a while to cut it all








Finished using the dremel, now for some sanding..


And after a whole weekend with sandind, jumping on the trampoline, hanging out with my girlfriend, it looked like this. Some pictures from behind and then from the front side.





























Got pretty sweet! Just missing some sanding with p400 - p1200 wet, ill take it tomorrow.

Thats the pics, now for the plans.
Me and my girlfriend have discussed a little, and she want it to ble a blue theme on the case, not a green! The reason for that is that my girlfriend and i thinks the green plexi will light up too much, the plexi is just to light! If it had been darker, like on my sketches it would be perfect! But blue is awesome that to, and i had a sheet of 5mm plexi for my other project behind the desk, so i will borrow that for now. Some other things, no engraving at right side, either on top, but maybe ill add something else on top, a window or something. Im removing quite much of the plans now, but i will say that we had a kick at the beginning, everything would look cool, and nothing were difficult.

Its still going to be a 3mm sheet of plexi at the left side of the hdd-rack, beyond that, no further plans.

Plexi behind the Power- and Reset-button will be tested tomorrow, to see if it looks good or not. Was thinking of a round plexi bit behind each button instead of the rectangular on the sketches, but will se.
No plexi at the LEDs like drawed, and PCI-brackets and the Reset-button will most likley be polished, just have to get cash to buy the right tools, and money isnt something i have right now

There you got it, the plans for now. Woundered if i could make 4 round plexi bit to the feets under the case, som the plans are not 100%, but its close.


Comment and discuss below.

Side Panel! Part 1

Update - 12.05.07

Right now im about to finish the side panel, just have to glue the plexi on with epoxy. Some shots before the final update on the side panel.


A few shots of the side panel, finished sanding the edges! Cool, or what?





Quite happy with this cut, did not want to remove the holes, so it turned out well!








Then i had to cut the plexi for the panel..


.. and after about 5 or 10 minutes, i had this one. Before that i broke all my blades, someone could still be used, but no good quality on those!


Finished with the first plate, had to cut it up again because i forgot the wentile holes when cuttint the first time, but no worry.


Sone shots with the plexi behind








Here you can see that i have trimmed the first plate, and added a new plate of plexi to make it fit. Turned out very well.





Some epoxy for gluing the plexi to the side panel


And then we did some shots of the plexi with UV light, looks really cool!!













To be continued..

Some shots of the side panel with UV light on!

Untill then, Comment and discuss below.

Okay, that's harcode. Rock on!

 

Logo update!

What you think about this logo? Felt like i had to change it since we dont have the green theme anymore.

​

 

No comments on the update? Will maybe have an update at the end of the day!

 

Nice logo and window. Mod on

 

I wouldn't take blue letters for your logo. blue in blue in blue is a bit difficult for my poor eyes No, really, I'd change it to something else. nice work though, the plexi looks great in UV!

 

I thought a little about the colors at the letters, and if you say so, ill change it! But later, got to glue the plexi on, back with an update very soon!

 

How about some red letters? Superman's colors is blue, red and yellow afterall.

BTW: The case came out perfect!!

Makes me wanna re-do mine!

 

asked my girlfriend about that, no way! she said

But i have absolutely NO idea on what i could do there! If the pc would have been watercooled, its easy. Then i could put the tank there, i have been on the though of just buy a tank and place it there, with water, but it will look a little stupid

For the plexi on the power/reset button, i have to adjust a bit more on the sides before its finished. My girlfriend thinks it ok, but i know i can do better.

The side panel turned out very well! The plexi is still on, but got really mad on myself when i discovered one or two more scratches on the side! Not so big, but i know that they are there, and that is enough. Will work on the project tomorrow.

And thanks for all comments! Appreciate it.
