this is nice bro.. custom made ar?

wah.. u bent it with that hammer??

whats that ?

bro, give some tips on how you bent the metal. really want to learn here. still cannot get the right bend whatever i try

that grill come from a type of case.

by using that hammer. result is better than i thought.
hehe... u will know soon. <modding a case with that type of grill and io at the back >

u clamp it properly. than whack it like a mad-man using that hammer.
but before that, remember to make a grove on the bend. it helps to make tight bend.

i will do some guide when got chance.

a pci slot/rack?
if it is so... can i have the dimension drawing?
(seriously if it is a pci slot rack... can i know the flat dimension??? please....)

how long did it took for u to get that actual bent on the alu??

it looks nice .. intrested on knowing the flat dimension as well

yup it is.
hopefully this helps



just a rough estimation.
remember, the motherboard spacer is 6.5mm

u mean the time of the process of bending?
1 min
(really)
just hit it with the hammer. but the clamping takes some time.

cutting and filling took whole day.
(BTW, when i say a day, it takes from morning 9am to 5pm non stop)

I have never have a good casing to refer some dimensional measurement

it's like making art out of a turd-the best you can make out of it is still a pile of $#!+...

I'll save this for some future mods
