my first modding experience (unfinished)

this is my first modding attempt, simple but i intend to do more. its a antec 1080.

bfore i cut the window



getting ready to cut my window all taped up and i used these tools plus a dremel i bought later on.



some pics with the window hole cut out.








now with the window.



only decent pic, because my camera is old and not enough light coming through the window, because it is sexy and tinted. im going to be adding leds to the grille, 2 80 or 120 mm blowhole fans and 2 more ccfl's. oh btw this is my first post here.

 

Very nice for 1st time modding Looks better than my 1st attempt (r.i.p. fulltower)

...welcome to the BT forums, fop!

 

Good looking window I like them big
I would add some more light, its pretty dark, if get some sleeving it would look kickass!
/me looooves tidy cables

 

Welcome to bit-tech, hevaen of modders!

Huge window you did there, I kinda like it. Nice 1st mod you did there!

~Xeno~

 

I wish my firs tmod came out that good... looking nice. Anymore work to be done?

 

good work! looks clean and nice.
nice wireing too

a little un-original perhaps hehe nice work anyway

 

thanks for the warm welcome.
yea, as i said im putting 2 more ccfl's inside, LEDS shinging through the grille and 2 120mm or 80mm blow holes. later on i may add some water cooling, and im gonna cut the grille's behind the exaust fans .

 

@ fop, Bit-tech doesn't support image sigs...I'm not sure if you've noticed that your's doesn't work.

 

Nice first mod, welcome to the mob by the way



KEEP IT UP





Cheers,
Mike

P.S.
I have yet to do my first mod
But soon, it will come

 

nice first mod, very very clean and straight cuts!
my advice to you, angle those corners on the box that juts out around the handle, will look less sharp and add a lilttle bit of variation!

ps should look like this:

Code:

nah i am happy with it how it is, dont wanna waste the damn expensive tinted plexi. *edit* yea i noticed that my sig dont work, didnt have time to change it though, i will soon.

 

i think im gonna put some black putty round the edge of the window, because the silver shows out too much. only gonna put a tiny layer. anyone tried this?

 

hmm... what about that dull mini case standing back there?
you should do something cool with that too...

 

yea, ive already stripped back the paint, because that is my redhat box, i will prob do a window with a linux etching and paint it blue or red, not sure what colour though yet. not very inspiring or original idea, but i havent put much thought to it yet, if anyones got any good idea's id be happy to take them into consideration, i have a pretty big budget, but im not doing water cooling.
