Newbie did his first casemod
 

I'm new at modding but i'll guess you must try everything in life, sooo..
The first project i planned was a case window.
I searched te web for a nice tribal pic and there it was : a shark !
Next step: Taping the case and transfered the logo on the case
The dremel came out of the closet and did his job :

Next step was grinding the whole case for a nice metal look :

Now i'm looking for a plexi window, but i couldn't resist to give it a preview :
In daylight

In Dark

the light in the case is just a standard led from my motherboard...
i'll add blue and uv in it asap....
Does anyone know how i can get those red/green leds gone ?

that mods looks familiar :-)

great work on the details!

do note that the bare metal look will only last 6-9months, then you'll see corrosion setting in, best to give it a transparant protective coating.

thx for the advice jmke !
but i'm still considering if i will paint it black or silver, leave it this way or polish it ...

I left the top of my AOPEN HQ08 like that, I'll snap a picture of it tonight.. you'll see what I mean ;)

Yes , the shark tribal idea cames from that case

nice job though....

did you put a lot of time in it ?

the cutout is made in 2 days... has now blue ccfl in it :) next up is to get some uv lights, and mesh my cables

try taking some various grades of sandpaper and polishign that metal up

do 2-4-600 maybe even higher and get it to look nice

otherwise, looks a lot nicer than my first mod (redneck with a jigsaw, drill, and duct tape)
