Wow, great job on the white color layer, but the blue color seems not so even.

agree...u used marker pen for the blue one??

no i painted the blue, but i did not like the look of it was too dark so ended up wiping some off and actually liked the look it gave it. Then added some more here and there to make it darker.

the blue color i more prefer it will be red combination with white

Some more painting. Also modified the side window so the entire fan could be seen through the side. I hoping I have enough plexi to cut a new piece, if not back to the hardware store...

ideas from murderbox?

what is murderbox

Also had a few glitches with my switches, had all sorts of wires crossed. But this baby is up and running now and now for the photoshoot.......

Wow! Good job, You photo is so clear and nice!
The blue theme is nice also, add some blue led and it will be more nice

very nice mod indeed. I read it from the first till finish.. A talented case modders. Do you provide mod service? if not i wanna give u a try..

one tiny suggestion, wouldn't it be better if u can round off the sharp borders of the side panels? please refer to the below pic which i have edited using ms paint

when I cut the side window out, I actually thought about rounding the corners for a while but personally preferred the sharp edges over rounded.

where to find plexi glass ?

i can't find it in the hardware shops around my housing area

u can order from bombman.. he sell cheap 2mm/3mm acrylic (which is actually plexi glass)

btw.. nice hdd mounting system.. im planning to make something similiar like urs.. btw, how do u bend those metals into 90 degree? clamp + gadin kayu?

Thumbs up for the great work

I found I sign maker near my home that soold me what I needed. I is fairly thick too.

It is 1/8 inch aluminum, I cut half way through it where the bends needed to be with the dremel using 3 cutt off discs stacked up, and then bent it by hand. Palms where really sore afterwards. I'm sure if you had a vise or strong enough clamp to hold it and then bend it, it would be easier.

Nice on TS! you amaze me!
