Case Mod - In Progress Project: NLM. FINISHED 11.08.07

definately without mesh, the mesh doesn't fit with the rest of your mod, which makes more use of clean cuts rather than perforation.

 

I agree, leave out the mesh.

 

That's a realy nice case mod you've got there !!!
The feet looks very good !
Very nice ideas you have got,I like the fridge on the top of the case, how cold is it ?
How did you do the NLM logo in the first post(what programm did you use) ?

Can't wait to see it finished !!!

 

I like the mesh. I think it will look great at night with the orange light coming through it.

 

Woohoo my first post! I have followed a lot of these mods on Bit-tech for a long time, but never posted until now. So here we go

I would like to suggest the mesh on, just in black like the case. I think it would be nice if the feet werent angled - I mean that if you made it follow the side all the way down to the floor, just in black instead of the alu-mesh you've got in your pictures. The mesh would (possibly) take the bigger dustparticles thus leaving your case cleaner...?

Nevertheless, greeeeeat work man! The fridge could've been better with the peltier INSIDE the case because it's watercooled anyways? (cleaner lines on top) - Love the black/orange combo!!!!!

I think the mesh would look nice, but I think you shouldn't want to go too far. By including the mesh you'd break the simplicity of the overall look of the mod.
Mesh looks nice, but in a real good mod you know when to stop. Often the final result is better when leaving things out.
I'd say keep the idea with the mesh for your next mod.

 

Dark~3n3rgy @ what a name you’ve got Thank you My friend did it, think it was 3d studio max he used.

Dean_mf @ yeah! I think that to!

Frido @ Damark Cheesecake! Ik? Welcome dude. I don’t think it’ll be that good with feets in the same thickness as the case, because the case then would come out very heigh. Also the mesh IS black, the film maybe shine a little back, and make it seems white. I like that the peltier is in the top, because that the outside tubbing really adds something to the front. And thank you

Kradhil @ You’ve really got a point there dude! I’m my eyes it looks good with the mesh, but maybe you’re right! I didn’t got the time today, but tomorrow I’ll try light up the fans, and put on the side-window to see if the mesh break the simpelness that much. Thank you for input, it was really useful!


Right now I’m most for the mesh. But tomorrow I’ll decide.

 

i like the mesh too without it case feet look too high

 

Update 26 – Feets part 3 @ Thursday the 31st May2007.

Intro
Wee, ready with another update! Well, first off, I would really like more light to come out from the holes, so need to mount a cathode under, or fix some leds or so. I’ll find out.
Tomorrow i start soldering leds, we need some light in it right? . I think when the fridge’s in again, the tubing make it look less sqared.

The funny part


All right, here we start, a 50*50mm alu piece.




First thing to do on the alu piece: mill down one of the corners.


Then mill down the fist side!



Last part to mill.



That’s what I’m talking about baby.


Then some cutting.


Done and perfect


This is the way the mounting works, hope you can see the idea The holes fit with the holes in the bottom plate.


Like this.


Then mounting them.

 

Damn, that’s great.



You’ve seen those pictures before, and i decided to got with the mesh.


The holes got drilled.



What do you think?

Some pictures in dark.






Bad that the fans didn’t gave more light. But I’ll fix that, just wait



Now this is what I need to do on the feets. Give the edge some paint and add these felt guys because we don’t want any scratches in the surface it’s on right`?

Hope you liked it! Cya!

 

very nice!!! sooo pleased you opted to go with the mesh!!! looks good.

 

Incredible! Like the design very much! The feet thing is great and the entire mod looks awesome!

 

looks great I really like the mesh

 

WoW! It looks great with the mesh. Glad you decided to go with it. Cant wait to see it in the dark with a nice cathode underneath it!

 

Great that you went for the mesh solution.

This case is one of the best that I have seen - it is compact, but there is still room for some decent hardware and cooling.

 

x06jsp @ Thank you dude
DJ Ovin @ Thank you, i like yours superman case to, think i have to leave a comment
The_Beast @ Thanks, we're to then
Dean_MF @ Thank you, I really can't wait to. A guy in the Danish forum told me to use 20+ mcd leds, and i think that would be slick
Stubkier @ Oh thank you dude. Denmark Cheesecake I really like the size to, and I'm maybe moving my 4200+, and 7900gt into this case. The only problem would be the harddrives, and i don't know if it's possible to build some kind of harddrive box. And how does the connection to the computer then work?

 

Nice work with the mesh!

 

Nice workk

 

Indeed the mesh looks great i think the same as i'm using on my grill
Can't wait to see some more light comming out of it.

 

wow that looks great!

the milling process looks pretty cool, though a very messy process haha.
