I haven't seen this done anywhere so I thought I'd try it my self & the results aren't bad... what do you think? I used 3mm Plexi Glass cut it to size and used a blow torch to bend it to shape see more pics here http://www.zak23.karoo.net/case/AcrylicCaseCover/
dude, you def gotta hide some of those fugly wires, wires are meant to carry data and power, not to be seen.
is it just my modding head coming into action again but that case is screaming for a custom etching job now, if thats not your forte then how about a case window applique - somethign like this would be amazing - http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/48746/rb/20721403919 dragon2309
I agree on the tidying I have some nice braiding to go round my wires when I get round to it and an etch is deffinately going to get done, Thanks for all the compliments :-D here is an old etch I did
Don't forget painting the steel, or even cutting it out. I'd use something else to secure the sides than have that pattern on the edges of my brand spanking new plexi case cover.
I have added some more LED's (removed from a gamer mouse pad) to the case now so we're having a disco lol also I've cut windows in each side of my PSU so you can now see the 12cm fan :-D and I've put a molex out the back of my case to power the 2 fans on the back and have less wires :-D I have still yet to plan my etch but I'll do that over the weekend. Has anyone got an idea as to how to hide my errr window (if you can call it that) fan wire? see new pics here http://www.zak23.karoo.net/case/AcrylicCaseCover/Newpics/
mm looks nice, a little more cleanup and paint the steel black so it flows with the front of the case,
I think its a good idea, but I think it would work better if you gave it a metal rim around the whole thing. I think it might look a little better. But I like the Idea. If you can pull of a clean interior.
Hydro thats exactly what I was just thinking ...a metal trim on the sides on the plexi to hide the steel or I could use sand paper on the plexi around the edge in some sort of pattern (maybe flames) to hide the metal frame. Been working hard lately though so I haven't had much time for planning or working on my case but this weekend is looking good for modding :-D
hmm how did you cut the circle our of the plexi for the fan because i want to make another hole in my window but i dont know how to go about doing it
There are two ways to cut a round hole that don't involve a good dremel hand or scroll or bandsaw. One get a Whole Saw and Arbor in the appropriate size for said fan. Plan 2 find an adjustable Circle Cutter. And if you are feeling really adventurous you could use a dremel. I would recommend http://www.dremel.com/en-us/attachm...accessory-detail.htm?H=188575&G=69679&I=69820 though.
