I think I have to take back my comment. I was not considering the hard drives on the rack. I looked at the rack and felt it looked too flowy, which was out of place with the hard corners on the outside spaced panels. Then again, the angles of the hard drives mean that the it matches the angles on the outside of the case... Anyways, that switch cover came out great. Keep it up. Laz
Hi my Friend, Very creative its project. You have excellent solutions. Its project is part of my favourites now.
/\ wow... thats ulysses Cazuquel.. @ von lazuli... i get yah now.. yeah the hdd holder as is would look a bit out of place but with hdds should look cool

hdd holder: The next step to install the extensions to the holder was to mark and drill some mounting holes this was repeated on both sides. Once I had done this I realised that the pop rivets wouldn’t have enough metal to grab on to the extensions, to save me a trip to the store and some money I grabbed some scrap and made a few of these washers. Once these where done I popped it all together. Heres a few different angle pictures. I also drilled the mounting holes for the actual hard drives. This mounting system still needs refining and I know how to fix this problem I only ran out of time to complete it. Heres a near complete mock up of the hard drive holder. And here is where the cables run through. engraving pannels: After I got the design and the panels back from the company I instantly started taking pictures. These panels are perfect to what I wanted to get for Vento. more soon
Front panel, I lost some of the pictures for the front panel of Vento here is it basically cut and bolted to the front of the case.. This is no where near sanded to size or refined yet. I then un bolted it from the case and marked out, and drilled some 120mm holes for the fans I shall have at the front of the case. The next step for the front was to mark out and drill the mounting holes to mount the 3 fans. With no layout or template I roughly marked out the holes and drilled them. The bolts I will be using are these ones. Here are the bolts poked through the mounting holes. With a fan mounted, Rinse and repeat..
im redesigning the front pannel so the case doesnt look so bland,,, getting the expanding foam tonight hopefully. should be fun
Nice working glove!! Good that you don't let the broken thump prevent modding. Hmm. I wonder what you're going to do with that alumine.
update 11/6! yes.. a modding glove... The next step was to cut out the side panels and get them into the correct shape. One done… a few more to go.. Once the panels where cut out I took this picture. Shows all of the panels together. I sanded one of the corner panels to make sure it was correct then chucked it onto the raisers to check. Then to get all the corners the right size I clamped the first complete one to another and vice griped.. then went to the bench sander and unleashed! Rinse and repeat and you get. Then buffed one up for a teaser.. although they will be painted (bad buffing by the way)
