Modding A380 Mod Feedback

That does make sense, but how will that affect dust and sound levels?

 

The big fans are actually pretty quiet, however they do suck in a lot of dust. Ive gotten in the habit of blowing out the case with an air compressor on a weekly basis

 

Sounds pricey, i have a ***mm fan mounted on my side panel along with an 80CFM on the front and the dust is pretty bad.

 

Ok so here is a render with a redone side window (not happy with it yet) and MNPCTECH handles. I'm not thrilled with the handles but they look better than I thought they would.




P.S.
I am looking for sponsors. Please contact me if you or your company may be interested!

 

Here is a render with red fan LEDs and 2x 12" CCDs. It looks too bright and a little too intese to me but any feedback will help. I am rendering a version in white as I type this.

 

-I was thinking more like this. It would be awesome to make the front handle part of the original billet. You need something that blends into the form of the case. A front handle with a gentle curve and tilted toward the rear of the case would be perfect. A rear handle would look best to me mounted on the back panel, (spoiler style.) It would assist with the aerodynamic look.

 

Ah I see! Yeah that would look a lot nicer that what I have now. Ill mess around with the design and see what I can do.

 

I'd be worried as soon as you lift it the front fan thing will rip off and everything will fall apart (have an image in my head of it happening), quite funny but not good.

 

Ew... Yeah that wouldn't be good. Ill mock it up and see what I think. As of now im kinda still leaning toward no handles.

Here is the reder of the white lighting. Once again the render turned out way to bright so ill have to mess with it more.



Edit: Here is an adjusted render in a dark room.

 

white lighting = WIN!

you may try getting your hands on some of this stuff, looks really nice, no idea how much it costs tho (trying to get some for my own build).

 

I like Elton's idea.....all white case, light blue tint on the window, blue LED lights on the fan, with a metallic saphire paint on the fan blades would look sharp as hell, and stand out from anything else.

 

Excellent renderings! Any other way/design of handles? I don't like the current handle arrangements.

 

Wrong thread I think? lol

 

So I removed the handles for now but I thought it still needed something so I added some trim pieces to the side to give it that "hot rod" look. I know its been done before but I like the look. I do think the top needs something. It looks too flat and boring compared to the rest of the case. Ideas?

 

Maybe:

Missle / Toggle switchs





Or

Key switch (Power you PC with a key!) Like a car, awesome.

 

I had toggle switches in the first renderings but didn't really like the way it looked (plus what would they control?)

 

Fans / Lights / Power button.

 

I have buttons on the front for the power and reset. Fans and light switches would be a good idea too. But where to put them? There are vent holes on the top above the power supply I forgot to model in, I could mount them between the intake and vent holes like I had before but only use 2?



I also just had the thought that MNPCTECH grills might look good? That might be a good way to add a few more exhaust fans while adding to the look of the case?

 

I like the chrome bits. I'd keep the top simple. It's easy to make the design too noisy/busy with someone like me giving advise.

 

definately like the chrome side accents
