First Project

This is the case I'am going to be working with, I'm kinda out of ideas on how to mod the bezel so any creative input is nice.



Crappy camera.



This will be my top window as soon as I receive my molding from FrozenCPU



So far I've modded the motherboard tray, I cut out the two big rectangular holes. there is another one hiding behind the floppy bay.



A shot from the otherside, I plan on windowing these holes with a flourescent green plexiglass.



I have plans for a windows 120mm big boy fan up front.



And one of my ugly mug.

 

I notice septum piercing
How big ? Mine was 7mm ,. and is 4mm now

 

So far the list of things to do read.

1. Figure out what to do with the bezel
2. Tint my plexi (if i can find flourescent tint)
3. Install windows on the backside of the case, motherboard tray, and top of the case.
4. Sand the case down
5. Figure out what color scheme I wanna work with and apply it.
6. Brainstorm a design for both windows on the doors.

if you know/see any potential in the bezel feel free to give me some ideas cause im thinking about scrapping it and making my own plexi front, but i would love to keep the bezel.

 

10mm, also got my tattoo artist friend to tag me up my name for the case door. 4mm is HUGE.

 

looking good, good luck

 

hope it turns out as good as i think it will, I still have to make a cut on the bottom tray for my new radiator. Here is a pic of the cut im going to make.



And here is one of my current case.

 

small update: finished cutting/filing down the top window



sanding off the paint by hand sux, but when you dont have many tools you do what you gotta do. Im looking for a place to buy yellowish green uv plexi if anyone knows where to get it. that would be a big help. currently out of cutting discs so project is going to be slow for a while

 

Decided to bondo over certain areas to make the tray flush, and to cover up some mistakes i made with the dremel. Going to WalMart tonight to get all my supplies. I also found out my uncle has a sandblaster I can use, so no more sanding by hand.

And here's a pic.


Pics when I return

 

Finished another window tonight, didnt get to stop by walmart so i made very good use of my time.



Also got (more like stole) the idea from so many more mods before me. Im going to mold a duct intake on the front bezel.

 

Anyone know where I can get some Green/Lime Green UV reactive Plexi off the internet?

 

How come everyone that I know seems to think I'm crazy for modding a case that was free.

 

BE CAREFUL WITH THE SANDBLASTER!!!!

I used one on an aluminum case one time and it warped the case from heat and pressure.

 

lol, the reverse is the crazy part...

 

Looking good so far

 

Thanks, I might have to go with regular old clear plexi see'ing as I cant find UV plexi sold in sheets, which is very disappointing. Either way it'll look nice.

 

I agree about modding free cases, it's the best thing. I especialy like modding cases from the retail PCs (I have done an Acer and I have a huge a$$ Compaq server that I want to do next).

 

This is a nice case, work well and it will be nicer than now.

Good Luck & have fun

 

Thanks alot, mod will probably slow down around these few weeks cause its about to be Thanksgiving. I should be ordering the window molding pretty soon, I already have regular plexi and have begun to shape the windows.

Having a little problem figuring out what i want to do with the side windows tho
