Off topic but classic comment... i nearly fell off my chair!!!! On topic. Nice Case, the colour scheme is sweet and other than the DVD face (changing???) its great great work!
The DVD is a $200us Plextor burner, I am a little bit nervous about drilling and tapping into it, but it needs to get done. MS
lol yer i would be a little nervous aswell, y r u drinning into it, cnt u just make a new face out of plexi and then replace it ??? if you did that you could mount a LED in the back so that i glows a loverley colour
Good job . Try Mnpctech for mesh and as i remember someone in the Project Log forum hacked up one of those metal meshed garbage-bins! /i must go out now and look for one of those bins
I plan to make a Blue acrylic cover for both DVD drives (aka big hole above the plextor, still need to purchase a DVD drive). Which will be attached with stainless hex-head bolts(every bolt in the case is hex-head). Lighting There are a few 3mm RED on/off switchable LED's not seen in the pictures, and a 4" cold cathode set-up inside that frosted acrylic tube. http://server5.uploadit.org/files/jeffrey9-IMG_0019s.jpg
lol yer i was wondering wat that was in the pics, thats a gd idea putting them in frosted tubes, dose it give out a softer glow or something ??? can u take any pics of that *hint hint* so where is your motherbord and all the rest of it, the case is looking all lonley not having its mother there to comfort it
I was there. Mnpctech uses paypal. PP and I are not on the same page. I need to email him and see if I can send him $ in some other form. THANKS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 6AM Chicago USA sleepy_time. MS
That thing was a water cooling reservoir, sanded with 2000git paper to make the "frosted look". It should de-fuse the blue 4" UV lighting inside. I have re-wired every inch of that machine,I only hope it will all work when I fire it up.. CHICAGO,USA 6:30AM SLEEPY_TIME
That's a great job. Not at all a knock-off, just using the Orac as inspiration. I hope you continue to work on it.
Looks great! I agree with the others, it's not a knock-off, it's a nice mod all in its own right. We all take inspiration from other mods, the trick is to take it somewhere new. You certainly seem to have done that.
It's Blue UV sleeve and heatshrink. I got it from frozenCPU. They have a great store, lots of cool stuff. I also purchased blue sparkplug wire separators to help keep things in order, I only have one or two inside now. I have not had time to install them. MS
humm well irealy need 2 do a cable tidy up in my case, its not looking the best and i want some UV reactive cables, how much did you pay from them, mind you i live in the UK so it will get overseas shipping wapped onto that
I'll be the 1st to admit I'm not normally a fan of clear cases, but this one is just Keep up the good work
Thanks. I just ordered some parts tonight. I will be working on the DVD drive front plates in the near future and I will post some pictures when I finish with them. I would like to thank all you guys who posted for your positive comments. MS
this project completely stands-out all on its own. Way to go on taking someone elses ideas and changing them so they dont even look close to what you took them from
