nice work already. but i am wondering? Is it not easyer to start with L-shaped iron and close that with plexi. than to buy a case and cut it so there is noting more left than a few pieces of iron ;) ;) |

4 days later, no replies yet. How's it going? Update? Pics? /Me is getting curious :) |
I don't had ANY time to work on it. Just have 1 afternoon and 2 evenings free to finish the thing before the end of september. If there isn't time left, the painting will be done later on. |
This is most impressive! Are you going to smooth the edges of the plexi out using a buffer or something? I've seen rough edges on plexi before and its not pretty :) OH! you could also drill tiny holes in strategic spots in the plexi and mount bright LEDs to have the walls of the case illuminate everything ;) |
Plexi = cut & smoothed Case = cut & drilled & smoothed ... a lot of energy went into the smooth-making ; no sharp edges at all ! All what has to be painted has had a primer job. Don't have the time to install everything for a test run before painting. Don't have the time to mod the PSU (still can do that afterwards) Don't have the time to make it look like a factory job ... hehe, still have an excuse : it's my first REAL modification job. And "making it look like a factory job" wasn't my starting point anyway. Don't have the time to install a kewl looking illuminated MADlogo inside the case (still can do that afterwards) Everything has to be painted before i go on a short holliday next thursday. When i return the following tuesday i should have sufficient time to put everything together. When i have some time left i'll unlock the 1600. |
what dremel bit do you use to smooth the edges and to cut the metal?? |
can't wait to see in broad daylight :) |
The painting looks crappy. The painting is not firm enough on the plexi (i used decent primer and a double layer of transparant coating though). I have to be extra careful during transport. The black painting attrackts dust like hell. Bummer i don't have the time to mod & paint the psu. Nevertheless some pics. Colorcombination doesn’t look too awful I think. PSU should be black … maybe someday. Don’t know what to do with all the wiring … yet. El custom and super cheapo grill … matching the bolts. Modified power and reset buttons. |
