Case Mod - In Progress [CIP] Project Akasa/Equipped

It's time for a new project. this time 5 cases in one time. Luckely they have to be all the same, That saves me a lot time. I sponsor for Qpad a pro counter strike 1.6 team (Equipped gaming). The cases are for them.
Akasa supplies me with the cases and some other products, This is going to be a huge project , Have to make everything 5 times
The project will not go so fast because i am working on Corsair Li too, and have some work on Mercury to make it ready for the Benelux casemod championship. The cases will be the Akasa Mirage-62.

Here some pics of one of the cases when i got it. There is one sidepanel with window and an extra without should i decide to make my own window. Think will be last option. The colorcombination will be black with blue , will use lot's of plexiglass , and for the rest let's see.
Dont really have a plan yet , but that is how i usually work , the plan will grow on the way . Enough typing let's go to some pics.


The case and extra Akasa parts i will use.











To be continued

 

it's nice to have sponsors. 5 cases at the same time (WOOOOW) but if all of them will be the same everything will work like in the factory. What type of blue ? becouse black and blue can be a bit controversal but with adding white, who knows. and also about that window ... make it on your own this one is not too nice.
I'm waiting for progress keepeeing my fingers crossed.
Good luck !

 

Yeah i will make my own window for sure . Dont like this one too. There is a lot of chrome inside the case , this will make the blue come out very nice . And 5 cases the same will be some boaring work But has to be done

 

send me one and a scheme(when U will have it in your mind) of your mod i will make it for U Heh what about a world contest of making the same mod in different places of the world . (ohh ... m crazy ideas)

 

i have the eclipse 62 which is exactly the same only with a different front panel and its a fantastic caseand a lot bigger than it looks in those pics

 

5 cases...
That means 1 poor guy on the team gets the prototype with all the 'oops' parts.
And 1 guy gets the final 'perfected' version.

 

You know it

 

No offence intended, but those cases are ugly :s

 

Any plans? I suppose you want to keep it simple as there's five of them waiting for an identical treatment.. Looking forward!

 

sweet cant wait to see how itcomes out!!!

 

Yesterday started taking the case apart.
Such an easy job with this case , not one rivet used by Akasa, dont often see it this easy , saves a lot of drilwork
Only takes a few screws and thats that.










And now to the fun part

 

I think that's what started casemodding in the first place, you're supposed to make something ugly into something beautifull. I don't like the front but the rest of the case is nice.

And Snakez, isn't the frame riveted? You should see the TJ07 I'm working on, only the removable motherboard tray is riveted together, everything else (the entire frame) is fixed using screws.

 

Holy **** this is a kickass case and look intersting to mod, and the good hardware

woot keep it up and show me more work I love this

take care and good luck

 

All in all, IMHO it looks like these Akasa chassis are a tight canvas for mods. Saves ya cash if you were wanting to paint the insides also. I just don't care for doors on the front, but oh well. That's what s are for.
