    picutures as soon as i get home.

    i am also having fun tring to get the bottom section from the case

    its really hard as the dremel even with the flexy bit is to big to get into the spots so its going to take a bit longer that i thought

    im also debating wether or not to fit my WC kit to this pc

    PICTURES

    Here we go pictures

    im very sorry but i dont have a picture of the case before chopping

    so far all ive done is chop out the centre of the front panel

    but i got half way through the botton section and my last cutting disc shatterd :wallbash:

    so off to the iron mongers tomorow to get some more

    Both of the front sections
    [​IMG]
    the unfinished bottom sections
    [​IMG]
    and the finished top section
    [​IMG]

    once i finish off the bottom section i intend on filling the gap with mesh

    hi there

    Ok mesh has been cut and ive just bondo'd it in this morning.

    i hope to take pictures tonight when i get home and post them

    i am reasonably happy with the outcome but i have run out of mesh for the bottom section so i have to go to B&Q asap

    Thanks for the feedback all

    ok ive been out buying some new bits

    but B&Q didnt have any more of the mesh so that bit has to go on hold

    i will soon be masking up the side panel for cutting and no it wont just be a plain square window

    ......

    youll have to wait for that bit

    i have also chosen me harware

    as im on a very tight budget i managed to get my bos to donate me a 478 P4 2.4 and mobo and 256mb of ram

    but there is one slight problem the mobo doesnt use standard mounts the holes are closer together so i might have to find another one

    i also have some string lights and fans and a Antec PSU

    and also of this was FREE WOOT
