Well, I wish I had the same idea back then on how to use the button design properly on cd-rom drives, instead I went for full stealthing. Keep it up & cheers, Mac
I really like this project,. It shows a good understanding of the Bit-tech philosophy. That of seeing things and adapting them to your own requirements. Several things stand out about this project, the way in which mods have been combined to produce a coherent and unique look, the quality of workmanship and the totally sexy, clean looking drives. I think I will use that idea in one of my own designs Many of the mods are based on previous ideas but they have a uniqueness born of ingenuity and combination. It brightens my day when I see projects like this and makes the long hours spent on running this site worthwhile. As for the bio-hazard grill, If you like it then use it. Stuff it if others don't like it. You have put a lot of time and effort into this case and you deserve to have what floats your boat and not what others say. Who would guess it was a Lian Li?
thanks macroman As for updates guys - well basicly there are none lol I have mounted the other rheo Ive just seem to be having problems of late with many things just getting in the way and hampering progress Ive now been waiting 2 weeks for stock to arrive which i dowt will be now so constant emails to the company trying to get replacements sent out well over £300 worth of gear just not been delivered will probably be more piccy's on saturday possible b4 but who knows
Right guys another update loads has been done but you probably wont notice as its more the bits that will go on the front nothing has of yet been mounted as the wiring has to be done, BUT luckly have managed 2day to get most of the wiring done Will show you more of the front and the back/wires 2morrow when ive finished anyway The lighted Lian li badge Slightly updated with thinner plexi 2mm instead of 4mm. Another angle. The back you can see the double sided sticky tape used to stick the lian badge, also the plastic 5mm led holder epoxied on. Lights The Rheobus. Mounted on 4mm plexi and the knob itself epoxied to the rheo. Close up of the posistion hole Lights EDIT forgot to mention the rheo's have 2 led's in there The front Rheo holes. Just a quick 1 to show that ive added a metal plate at the back of the rheo to 1. get a smaller hole 2. reflect light right guys soz for the amount of pics and none of them really being interesting but this is what ive been up to
Looking sweet as ever, you got anything secret planned other than finishing off whats already been started?
Something different going to happen to the cdrw tray? and a plexi HDD cage/storage rack thingy? have to wait and see
Love those rheobus knobs. Did you make them or buy them? If youmade them, how, and if you bought them where did they come from?
Take a read of the rest of the thread. He made them out of plexi and a piece of alu stuck on the end, the same as his drive buttons and casebadge. And yes, they look great
Cheers NiHiLiST yes there home made Read the rest of the project to find out you'll be surprised how cheap these are
I'm gonna have to steal those awsome knobs, thank you so very much! Oh, and maybe the badge, too. I'm for the finished beauty. Cheers, Mac
Mostly by eye and alot of time I'll get a pic 2morrow of my tools used LOL But no laughing!!!! they are VERY VERY getto lol But surprising what you can do with limited tools Jack wish's for proper modding gear
Everytime I look at this thread I find it hard to believe the quality of the workmanship, the whole project has come together very nice and im still impressed at how clean the cuts are. Very nice work
Wut he said!... Another very impressed reader. I would have never have thought to do the front of the case like you did. Excelent
Woops sorry about that, I have read all this thread. I guess i must have read the bit wbout the knobs etc when i was pished, hic, Sory Jack, Great Mod , i wasnt sure about the colour at first but now i love it.
