Case Mod - In Progress Moditor by DonT-FeaR

hey guys im new to these fourms i was told to check them out by Tech-Daddy so ive been working on a mod and decided to upload it onto this site.. (its on tbcs to)

this will be the parts i am using now and i wont bore you with my parcel pics and stuff head to tbcs to see that

ok i the idea is to make a pc into a crt monitor housing and use that as a computer case


the 'Patient' (guts already out)




fan placement for the top...










decided to put a cd rom in were the buttons went





it wouldnt sit flat on these ridges



cut them out and flatened them with a heated knife






so i needed to sit the cd rom into something



needed to be cut



as with a hdd cage






need to post this so i know where im up to

 

hahaha I love monitor cases looking good so far, that 80mm blow hole fits in well with the shape. Will be interesting to see how this turns out, best of luck to you!

 

here is the problem with the fan on the top it sits weird as so this is what i did (did this with 2 fans replaced first one with an led one)



cut off the corners



test fit



rewired



check leds still work






heated up and bent




glad wraped for protection.



i marked out this for the bracket to hold the part that holds the mother board....(make sense???)



sanded and rounded
till it fitted like this





ok so i marked this out on a piece of alumnium and cut it bent it and raaarrrr raaarrrr rarrr



its all painted well primed....

 

Heh mate... you're late.

 

more to come but i really cbfed so heres a video i made to show where im up to use this as a referance till i make new stuff this video is easyier than tring to go through 300 photos to find one...

Its lookin' great. I always love repurposing mods: monitor case to computer case being a fine example. I'm lookin' forward to seeing how this turns out.

 

hey jeff, glad to see ya spreading your mod around the net...so have you finally decided on your final colors?

 

nope not decided on colours yet any sugestions??

 

Next mod: monitor in a computer case? Would make a nice pair

 

Man this is an interesting Work, I fall in love with that 3 White fans RACK PC. And that one next to it with 4 Fans. man it's awesome

I can't wait to see your work this time, I have feelings that it will turn out good like that rack PC hot hot hot White X Black

@ blue fan dude.... you just wrecked my next project..... (swears at blue fan)

@computer king thanks mate do you think white and black for colours?
