    A couple weeks ago. I got this from school
    [​IMG]
    The thing wieghs 75 lbs. I was carrying that thing until I got home.


    I then took it apart

    The next thing I did was sand the front panel and bezels

    I wanted to cut a window on the side and the top but i didnt have any tools.
    I also wanted to mod it to take an ATX motherboard but i used up to many cutoff wheels and barely cut the thing.

    A couple weeks later(now), I was able to buy a jigsaw and a work bench

    The first thing i did was mod the side panel and sand everything down to ge rid of unwanted texture.

    actually i got the thing for free.
    its impossible to steal this thing considering i won be able to run with a 75lb machine. I only way 135lb

    My school gets several machine from donations from companies that no longer needs them. We use it for my cybercorps class.

    Basically my teacher wanted to get rid of the thing and put it in the dumpster. I decided that i want to mod the beast so i took it home instead

    update time!!


    one of the reasons i bought a jigsaw is for making this case modable. This thing is so tough a dremel is useless.

    anyway, i used my jigsaw to finally make it ATX compatible.

    this is the part where i actually needed a jigsaw
