Project:: n00b t00b (::UPDATE:: Holy crap!! You mean this thing is still alive?!)

Shame those blade cutouts aren't equidistant (or the same width), but it's a nice design

 

CooL! I like the design of the window! It might need a bit of sanding though looking forwart to the rest!

 

Welcome to Bit-tech...

I like the window design, Only thing I think is the cut on the bottom left need's abit more of a curve to help even it out more.

Will look good when finished.

 

hey. i like the new window design, it looks good. but like Acid seid sand it down. you do that and it will look even better. keep modding man

 

I much prefer the new window design - the tribal flame thing, while nice, is overused.
Welcome to the boards! I'll be watching this mod, interested in how it'll turn out.

 

:: UPDATE:: Wow, it's been a while...

Well, I finally got around to taking some pictures of the meager amount of work I've done on this thing so far. I haven't done much since the last update, but that's covered in a completely different thread (Read all about it here). Anyways, on with the pics as of right now (Friday 4:20pm (hehe) EST).





As I mentioned in the other thread, I painted the chassis a FOrd Wedgewood Blue. It's slightly metallic, but it can be hard to pick up, even in person. I like it a lot and I'm glad I chose this color. I need to do a slight bit of smoothing sanding with some 600-800grit sandpaper to take off some overspray that got on it and do some touch up painting. Other than that all the interior painting is done. Well, except for after I cut the new hole for a 92mm Sunon fan that will go in the front of the chassis. I'm gonna be as careful as I can when I cuz I'm really not gonna look to make that area painted perfectly as it will be covered up by some plastic pieces and such. You also will notice a small kitty in the first pic. That's Emmy, and she's likes to be in the middle of all my pictures now.



I also cut a blowhole for another 92mm Sunon fan. It's not a perfect cut, but that will be remedied soon enough. I'm not even sure if that will stay a round hold yet. I may just go for the gusto and put a window on top with the blowhole in it. Haven't decided yet.

I plan on doing the outside in black (I want to try to get a mirror finish, but as you can see in the picture way up on top the fanbus I have is a matte black finish and I don't want them to clash), but I'm not firm on the color choice yet. I am open to suggestions on another color, or anything else you might want to see me do, within reason of course. Don't forget that the name of this thing is the n00b t00b for a reason. Most of this is all kinds of new to me.

Anyways, I plan on working on it some this weekend since the weather will be nice for once. I hope to have more pics up as soon as I can get my butt moving on this project.

 

Nice to see that the project is still alive. Good luck and I hope you finish it in a timely fashion .

 

Well, I got a little more done today. I cut out the hole in the front of the chassis for the 92mm fan. It's not a really clean cut, but it shouldn't matter too much as it will all be covered up anyways. No pics right now, but I think you all understand what I did and you can imagine what it looks like. For now anyways. WHen I get some more done, I will post some more pictures.
