Case Mod - Complete SPACE 1999 CASEMOD old school

Hi guys I'm enrolled in announcing this new project, this is a mod client, consists of a mod on space 1999 certainly many of you You don't even know what I'm talking about ...

Spazio 1999 is a British science fiction television series Designed in 1973 by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson and originally broadcast from 1975 to 1977. He narrates the members of a lunar colony, adrift into space following the removal of our satellite from Earth orbit. The first season of this series was the last collaboration between Gerry and Sylvia Anderson and the most expensive until then realized for British television. The second season was the result of the collaboration of Gerry Anderson with the American producer Fred Freiberger.

this TV series was a great success, today its special effects make it laugh but it is the story itself that is fascinated, I pèersonally revised the 2 seasons several times finding it always interesting.

For this mod will be retro mod not to confuse with a Sleeper Mod will have not recent hardware, in fact it won't be used for gaming as usual but as unpretentious workstation!



to you the video introduced

[bbvideo]

As already mentioned this is an unpretentious mod as desired by the customer, parts of other PCs will be recycled, some made from scratch.

Let's start with the homes, I recovered this homes I don't know anything was a assembled recovered from the municipal landfill, it was dismembered with all its parts some trash some ridiate Anters sold on eBay I preserved the case waiting for a project ... and the time has come ...







long ago I dismantled a homes of Arctic., Yes yes in addition to making fantastic silent fans, also made houses !! Mancavanio too many parts to be recovered has an interesting dissipation system, namely 120 mm fans that from the bottom of the case sent air through components and came out of the top This case had a floor lamp that served to hold the house raised a couple of cm from the ground and to which the air was sucked.









guys I'm lucky ... destiny is telling me: "Go ahead that it will be a success !!" It goes perfectly !!!!!!

This should be fun. I barely remember Space1999. I didn't have control of the tv that late in the day, so I only got to see a little of it. One of the kids at school had the lander and was treated like a rock star.

 

Ouch...I am old enough to remember it well.
Looking forward how this build will progress...
I hope you have enough colorful and flashing push buttons

 

So do I...and I remember me kiddo, building the lander with Lego
Looking forward too

 

Thanks you have made me feel my age with this mod looking forward to it

 

Well we leave ...
The interventions will be on the case, it will be closed so it will not be necessary to work inside how it is generally done but since it is a retro CASEMOD there is I prepare the front panel that will be modified,
I am not interested in readers I leave the framework and housings inside to use them as storage and to leave the compact structure of the case,
removing them the case would weaken, let's talk about a modest sheet metal case not Too thick. Paste all the caps to the panel and level,
later it will be stunned, this to have a smooth and homogeneous surface and apply other panels.





Processing of side panels ... I take inspiration from one of my favorite houses the R-4 Bulldozer of the GMC very old houses that I love unprotive today I think I believe that the Korean company has failed ..



will look for as far as I can reply the side panel for the air intakes below they will be installed 2 blue fans of 120mm

Technical tests with cardboard





PLEXY PREPARATION AND CUT ...





Central part bending







The rest will be temporarily with acrylic adhesive, successfully strengthened everything with stucco in vestrain and finish with EPR stucco stringers to level all the surface











will be pierced to create air ducts and applied the graphics of the 70s

I have provided 2 fans in extraction on the top and an incoming on the bass in addition to the front and the 2 side hole the case .. as it was done once .... dremel, dust and go !!!









Dirty work ... Iron sawdust even in the nostrils ...









to be continued...

 

Drilling of external cover panels











Creation of the slats that will be inserted in the panels













to be continued

 

Sooo cool

One of the very first things i downloaded of thingyverse to 3D print was the Eagle transporter..... i still have the STL file in my to-do list Printer Modding has become my new fav hobby but i can still live my love of plex modding through your amazing creations.

 

thank you!!

 

here are the mounted panels, the right and left panels will be different, on the left there are fans on the right no ... so it would not make sense to reply ... also because it would be too monotonous I believe that for the second (right) lighthouse of LED panels with logos and writings on the subject, but I still have to study well cone to make them, meanwhile the covers are ok ..









creation of the extraction handles of the side panels ..

 

rightly someone mentioned the fact that you don't understand how to fix the handles to the paratie ..







we proceed to the creation of the bracket higher fans in pure style 70s















till lack details such as internal ribs for air intakes, maybe I will make a LED panel with logo on the front you say?

 

up panell fans grill

















to finish...to be continued..

 

It's just beautiful to watch you create

 

I used to love Space 1999 as a bairn- Alan Carter was the man
Following this with anticpation

 

Preparation of the front panel, this part will also be themed and use a recycled component, a fault hard disk ...





Hole on the front panel of the case stopping the disc with LEDs interior









I prepare the surface of the hard drive that is not regular but has supports and protrusions that do not allow easy fixing SMONTO The internal components so as not to scratch it, it must be the most shining possible.





Next step Creation of support and coverage

to be continued

 

This has such an "old skool" mod feel about it.

In fact all your mods take me back to my early case mod days Your one of the few modders that keep my flame alive

 

Panel that will be incorporated to the front gluing it ..

Old school modding rocks! Very nice project!
