Hi there everyone....

first time posting here... anyway i got a project on my hands.

I got this cheap but good quality casing...think its a korean casing.. it weighs like 15kg

My plan is to strip all the outer aluminium off(front bazel,top panel,left & right panel) and leave it "barebone". im gonna throw away all those aliminium and replace em with UV acrylic.

Things To Do

* Sandpaper The Whole "barebone" chasis
* Paint it all Matte/Gloss Black
* Replicate the original aluminium housing with UV acrylic.
* Make some military switches as power button & reset switch
* Make some more military switches for fans and lightings


sorry cant post much now cause im using my Ps3 to post here tongue.gif

this is a 3rd mod for me... the past mods didnt go so well....

Pro modder Bombman will be helping me biggrin.gif make sure i dont screw up.

Peace smile.gif

ignore my doggy behind the casing tongue.gif

anyway found out my ps3 can upload pics tongue.gif

as you can see the 2nd pic... the aluminium cover... covers the whole case(top panel,side panels) so im gonna replicate that cover with UV acrylic.

let u all use your imagination to see what this is gonna look like biggrin.gif

share ur opinions and comments....

btw thinking of making something like 120mm "turbine" in the front of the acrylic bazel there brows.gif
