I think I'm going to cry... sooo easy, sooo nice... please Defyant, continue your marvellous work! and after Storm'd, another one!
wow, those bolts suit it sooo well and the mesh is teh sex! i love it when the mesh flows with the rest of the case wicked job mate keep it up!
Actually I don't really know what to say that would be kinda new and unsaid 'till now... But, hey! One thing comes to my mind: Let me get under your couch to look for more stuff you could use for your damn sexy cases. By the way... how much hardware you got flyin' round your house? Like 6 or 7 completely spec'ed computers?
The original Front cdrom and top panels wernt 100% square...i free hand cut them and then dremal cut the insided out and filed as streight as i could get them..... Still looked a bit "dodgy",,, so i had 2 new panels precut and gave them the once over on the router bench! hehehe love saying that now!!!! "the router bench" ! in action!!!! One is a "dummy panel" and is goin to also act as the front mount for the Matrix Orbital lcd display. The second is for the cdrom. Just a standard matrix... but being oem no mounts! nothing flash but heres what i came up with. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sorry for the lack of reg updates guys! i have been modding a lil but evertime i sit down to post the updats i find my self playing WoW with the son heres a qickky few updates A qik fix for an eject button for the dvdrw , same idea as used on persplexed ..but more stelthier looking. the crom rom door is marked and drilled with a countersunk hole The mod is all made from small hollow and sold plex rod.. a tiny button is cut Finger sanded smooth checked for fit The sanded shaft is check for lenght a back "stopper ring" is cut and glued to the main shaft The front button is glued on and the e3xcess off the back of the shaft is meausred and cut away Simple but effective
Next was to move onto installing the swiftech mpc 360 mini pump! a custom stand or bracket was cut and drilled for the pump to mount to... This now allows the pump to sit in a the cdrom bay
With the crom pump and matrix LCD out of the way! was time to move onto what will be the "Storm Tunnels" The idea of the Storm tunnels will be to not only look cool but to help deliver clean air to the centre of the case. Originall i was goin to use clear plex 80mm tubes! but had a couple of add "Baddong" cooling ducts and thought i'd give these a shot. I also like the colour! the first idea was to make some custom adaptors to bolt the tunnels onto the fan! then i relised that the fans themselfs could be modded to accept the tunnels. The solution was to trim away some of the fans mounts allowing the Storm Tunnels to slide over the left over edge. a qick few shots to show how they will work. With the front Storm Fans bolted in the Storm tunnels will sit more apart'
A custom Rear back plate will be made to secure the Rear Storm Tunnel Fans Made from a measured and cut peice of 3mm tinted plex Again! to keep intheme and give the Mod a finished look! some more custom grills are cut , hammered into shape and fitted in. A hole is cut for the cdrom and pump the paper removed and the whole panel is Edge flamed. again Hex head bolts are used to hole the rear Storm fans in place.
One of the ducts is not sittting 100% , i'll take some time thru the weeks to see if i can PU a new one as that one was used in a previouse mod and was bent a bit out of shape. But for now you can pretty much see the full effect.
Why not paint those ducts black or silver? Will you have that color somewhere else? If you are I would leave as is.
I haven't posted here in a long time, but i have to chime in again. That is simply stunning! You prove that people don't have to pump in SLI 7800GTX and X2 4800+'s to make their mod a noticable mod - you prove it's not all about the money but about skill and creativity. Legend! Keep up the top work!
Indeed This mod is insane! WOOT! Also i love the socket cap screws i did the same thing on my case they jsut look industrial looking and no one is going to touch the case! LOL Great looking mod also do you think you could sell me some of your time! PLZ
