Modding Project Lucille III

Hello fellow modders...

I am new here on this forum, but I wanted to have some experts look at my first casemod. It is almost finished.

Please tell my what you think of it.

The object was to make a clean mod, beginning from a boring case: the SuperFlower SF-402


First I made a window, with a shark-tribal integrated.
Then I painted the bezel, made some blowholes from ordinary pvc-tubes, which I've painted in aluminium. I made a top blowhole with 120mm silent fan, a rheobus with lcd on an aluminium plate (2mm thick), and I stealthed the drives with the same sort of aluminium.
Finally I inserted a blue ccfl.

Here are the pics:








Hope you like it...

There's more on my website (dutch)

 

Looks very nice! Good job.

 

Moving to modding - this forum is for in-progress logs only, thanks

*n

 

That's a great transfomation! Do you have any in-progress pics?
And what happened to Lucille I and Lucille II? Did you screw them up? (Unlike this one...)

 

lol, no I didn't srew them up... Lucille I en II have never been modded this is my first one...

here are some in progress pics from the cutout and blowholes:

Cutout:







Blowholes in front:
First, I cut out the holes, and closed the existing airholes with some plaster


When it was dry, i polished it, and put on the ground layer


Then off course the final layers of shiny black paint (4 thin layers)


The pvc-tubes before they were painted


The front view with unfinished blowholes ...


... and the final pic

 

Is that a shark cut out?

 

yes, is it that bad?

 

That is very nice especially if it is indeed your first try.

 

did you cut it with the knife?

nice cuts on the shark, i would never be able to do somin like that....

 

Dremel work first class

like the two fans on the front looks like a big sub woofer

 

That looks damn good.

 

very, very nice.

 

That is very nice. Didn't I see that window mod as part of an article over at MadShrimps or SharkyExtreme? If it is, that was all coping saw cuts if I remember right.

 

that's right, my tutorial appeared on madshrimps

 

Cool! I need to find me one of those coping saws you used for that mod. I have been looking for one here in the states but have not had any luck yet. I have only looked at my local hardware stores. Where did you get yours?

 

Ah, I've seen the shark cutout before somewhere. Love it!

 

here in Belgium you find them in almost every hardwarestore. I paid $3 for it...

 

wat program do u guys use to make that like scale model of wat u want it to look like?

 

i use coreldraw, but any vectorbased program should do just fine i think

 

Holy Sh*T ! I like that modd and remodd you did !
