    You can discuss this mod here

    Finally got around to starting my Antec plus view mod today. I used plasti-bond to fill in the gaps between the bars on the bezel of the case and sanded them. Will be cutting in the 120mm duct for the fan tomorrow hopefully.

    (Very old photo)

    As you can see from the photo's I've barely started, there was also a fair bit more sanding done to the front after I took these photo's. I dont want to give too much away at the moment due to alot of idea's are still undecided.

    Got some more work done today, I've started work on the front 120mm intake. I've got a couple of days off work so hopefully tomorrow when I get paid I can start buying some more of the materials that I'll need.

    As you can see the blowhole isn't finished and still needs a fair bit of filling, sanding, etc

    Another small update for today, I found some bog around the house so it saved me having to go out and get some more on the weekend. I managed to get a fair few imperfections out of the bezel and fix up the massive gap between the bezel and the lip of the fan duct.

    Still alot of little things on the bezel that have to be finished, its still very rough but due to time constraints I wont be able to work on it again till early next week.

    Hey mate, nice mod on the front of that Chieftec. Haven't seen such a simple, clean modification in a while. Good work, keep it up :)

    Don't insult the case! It's an Antec not a Chieftec...

    Can become nice, but that bondo looks a bit dry, is it?

    Your bondo looks too dry and it looks like youve either not put much on at the front (you can still see the grills) or youve gone mad and sanded way too much off.

    The bondo around the fan duct was builders bog and not the same as the plastibond used elsewhere, it looks dry because the photo's were taken just after sanding with fairly rough sandpaper so the area was fairly gritty. The main reason you can still see the grills is because I wanted to make the front of the case alot less curved then before.

    The bondo and the grills also sit perfectly flat so hopefully once the area is painted you wont be able to notice.
