Case Mod - In Progress "Cosmos Dragon" - 040809 - GC Online

Your attention to detail is truly fantastic. I am loving every part of this mod.

 

thanks a lot m8´s

today we made some plexi rings which we glued to the last plexiglas piece on the top of the case so that the tube which will be connected with the rez cannot be moved....








then we bended the plexi cover for the front usb part....and glued the edges on.....

 

I like the tube holder and the USB cover, excellent pieces of detail.

 

thx!!

today we made the last part for the tube routing....it will later be fixed on the backside of the case....




then we made the first parts of the Front Covers.....



and a first part which will "connect" the front and the top of the case....

 

May I ask how you cut your plexi? Jigsaw? Scroll saw?

 

Wow, those new additions are cool! I like the plexi rings and usb cover plate ... a lot! Also echoing the boy from oz's question, and adding that I'd like to know how you polish the edges so cleanly. (I think you might have mentioned it.... I'll go back and but any tips you can give would be great.) I was working on my plexi layers experiment, and could use some feedback/tips on how to do it better/easier.
EDIT- Ok, I just found your answer to phinix on the same question. Rough to fine sandpaper... and some polish. from the pics, it looks like you have a sanding wheel? Is that how you do most of the sanding or do you have other tools/tips? How do you get such regular angles? (such as the pump top) Do you use a jig that allows you to do that? Check out my log (linked in the sig) and let me know what you can suggest to improve, please.
/EDIT
The front doors look cool too, It looks like they'll open to the sides? I like it!
In case I didn't mention it, I'm subscribed!

 

@The boy 4rm oz....why not? sometimes we use a scroll saw (not often) when we have to cut out some smaller parts out of an sheet....in the most times we do the rough cut with a jig saw, a fein multimaster or an router (always depending on what we exactly do atm) and the rest with the sanding wheel /band sander....

@Modminded....yeah we have a sanding wheel / band sanding machine ....it´s great, the pump top was done with the wheel, because it´s really easy....just adjust the right angle and then gogogo...
but the sanding wheel is only good for the first steps....then you have to sand and polish by hand (i think you get other bands and disc so that you could change them to get better results....but normally its quickly polished by hand when you have a smooth surface from the sanding machine)


in the last days we finished the last part which i already showed as it was in progress...and we started the next parts for the Front

 

Very nice work. I'm liking all the plexi work. How about the two clear rods on top, they going to get rings too?

woow that's ... amazing ... this case is just mutating into something,.... cosmic ALIEN like thing

 

really nice skill you have with the plexi keep it up man

 

More detail. Damn it looks fine.

Thanks for the info mate. I usually only use a jigsaw or the Dremel to cut out my plexi. I need a router for my next mod so that will be the next thing for me to pick up. After that I need to get the scroll saw .

 

Thanks for the info! The new stuff looks great! I like the glow under the front bay LCD/optical bay cover.

 

Wow looking really great id love to do this to my cosmos s.

Btw with the bits on the front that wrap around the side how are you going to open the side panels.
I take it there glued onto the side pannel and split at the front

 

i really like the plexi work
you guys put so much time and effort put into the small details and it shows

can't wait to see this thing finished

 

thanks a lot m8´s!!!!!!



in the last days we made some progress on several parts.... we continued the work on the Front Parts which i already showed....now all party have 3 layers....one of the layers got a routing which we will use later.....






then we put the first Fan´s on top of the case to see if they fit....and then we cut their casings to avoid problems with the mesh part......beside that we also put a CCFL under the mesh to see if we get a nice glowing (like we want)






we also mounted the radiator for a quick test mount and made a first cover for the inside.....




then we also made some progress on the front doors which will cover the TFT....

 

Looking Good! I like the lit up shots!

 

Man that top foes look sweet. The TFT cover is coming along nicely.

 

OHHHHHHHHHH Greeeeeeeeeeeen ! with lights - very nice. I'm watching.

John

 

My god I love your attention to detail. That's superb work. Truly amazing!
