ive been talking about it for a while now every1 has feel in love with this mesh ****e, id like to point out iv e been doin pc mods with mesh for a few years now -but this is the first major one Right This is the case iev bought and started modding a lovely pc-60> and this is my concept art (yeah i know): this is the puppy in bits as you can see i spend no money on carpets just pc stuff STEP ONE: This is the first step, the dremeling i cut the grill out of the rear exhaust, to enable better air-flow, and as soon as ican find a 80mm hole saw il do one below. it was very easy to cut, due to it being aluminium, id hate to do dremeling on a stell chassis. And this is the fooker that came out of it STEP 2: ive also now marked up the cut out for the front bezel, tis faint but its there. i put some drapes up for because some1 asked for some drapes in the photos :S so i took the piss STEP3: this one was after 4hours of dremeling, as you can see on the right is the insert and drive bays i removed. - i didnt take a raw shot as i forgot so i dont a quick comparisson. 54 discs that baby ******ed - and the dremel packed up so i cant do much more and this is a quick shot with the mesh behind -all thats left is for me to attach the grill and cut out 2 drive bays and the USB hole at the bottom. i will be attaching the grill with clear silicon and the bays will be stealthed using the origional bezels. i will be starting again soon, so some more piccys will be up shorty
filing u say, my edges a rough and wonky as **** without the trim any recommendation on how to smooth it out?
Yep - lots of elbow grease instead of the trim will make this thing. It looks like you are headed the right way though. I think it will be a neat case. The only question I have is how much dust will be inside after running it for a while. That mesh won't stop much.
My first thought as soon as I saw the thing. I do like the concept... though I agree on filing the edges. I'd also get a smaller size mesh.
Looks good, but I would never do that to a lian-li case. because the front of that's case looks so nice on it's own. I will start a project sone also with a lian-li case but I'm NOT touching that front, it's way too stylish (and expensive)
