    Hello friends, I am returning to the world of modding after a long layoff, I have a new project, but with the old design (http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=112068)


    I will work in an Akasa Eclipse-62, which has enough space inside ... and best of all the sides are smooth and have no vent hole to even disturb me

    (my English so bad :duh:: )

    photos speak better than me :lol::lol::lol:

    I dont know why but I thought that design was going to be on the mobo tray, think that would be possible while keeping the strength to hold the components and any cooling?

    Just an idea.

    I'm looking for pink UV plexiglass, but I'm not having success ... so I decided to try to do my own plexi pink = D

    this is the powdered resin:
    [​IMG]
    This resin is used in the manufacture of orthodontic appliances ... the colors are lime green and pink UV ... I'll use the pink

    The application process is very fast, as I need the hands free, I did not take photos

    molds:

    is ready, now is cook for 2 hours ...

    Absolutely stunning piece of work. I like to see new ideas, it's easy to incorperate overs ideas in your own work so my congratulations as I haven't seen this before, well done. :clap::clap::clap:
