    didnt half cut up my fingers tho trying to hammer the sheet metal into shape :)

    such is the pain of modding

    the holes come precut in the metal sheet. was a flat piece about 1m x 30cm that i folded into shape.


    still have the original case just in case and it keeps my warranty intact

    quick update.

    due to your opinions and those of other i decided to change it a bit and i think it looks a bit better.


    now i just need a small cold cathode or 2.

    I must have missed all the "paint it black" posts, but it does go better with the front of the case... I did see quite a number of "light it up" posts - change it again :)

    hmmm... light it up and spin it - instant LAN disco :cooldude:

    Thats awsome. A very functional mod that looks good to boot.

    You could always paint the CD-ROM drive case and get black cables (or use electrical tape/shrink wrap/mesh). Then get a nice colored CC... Mmmm... Sexy....

    That's the nicest lookin' modded shuttle I've seen. Wow. I especially like the front graphic.

    What about removing those fan grills in the back though? :D

    I suppose, just an idea maybe you could put plastic just in certain sections like above the ROM,
    wouldn't want to spill anything on it :hehe:

    put gore-tex on the underside of the holey metal :) that will keep the water out, look cool, keep the dust out, and allow it to breathe :D
