Happy modding and keep it up all

 

Nice job so far, just a suggestion. Get some of that rubber u channel stuff. I would put it around the hole you cut for the pc bracket, so it doesn't scratch that big nice fancy power supply of yours, just something i would personally do. You can find the stuff in the US from mnpctech's online store.

 

Thanks Mansueto Nice idea i will look when the case is back.
I have bring today the case for painting (airbrush) wait and see how the case will look

 

Hi All no update because just back from vacation.
Also no good news the case is not finish painting i hope that it will be quick finish
Until then Keep it up

 

nice fresh ideas, can't wait to see it all done

keep it coming!!

Nice Mod so far! I like what you've done. and your pics and explanations. I really like the look of the white plexi interior and the cable hiding, and the dvd drive stealthing. Can you explain more or show more pics of how you attached the mesh front to the dvd front?
Also, have you thought about making the flame grill (now in metal, stick out in front of a different colored layer of plexi, perhaps lit light the case top and other parts? It's hard to make out for me in the night pics.

 

Thanks modminded for you comment i appreciate.
for the DVDRom i have use some parts of the case and make some holes and fixed with screws

Front view


Inside on the bottom


Side View


All are cover by the grills from the front.
The eject button are no more visible and i need to eject the DVD from windows.

For the fan grills the choice of metal was use because it will be painting.
No other pictures for the moment because the painting is not finish.

happy modding
