Im getting pretty psyched now as I get closer to firing this back up and getting back to borderlands....

Sounds good man! I can't wait to see it finally done myself! and entered in it's first "mod" contest!

MKmods · Nov 16, 2009, 02:42 AM

Here is the inside, its kind of hard to get till you see it in person but there are no visible wires (normally they get stuffed inside somewhere) And for the size basically thats a PS and a hdd there (basically the size of a mobo)

LOL, I need to be careful how I say things...

Thrackan · Nov 16, 2009, 07:52 AM

I can see that time is running short, you're posting loads of updates all of a sudden

Looks good so far (I can't do it like that) but the front panel doesn't look right to me, all sunk into the face. Flush would be nicer imho.

suraswami · Nov 16, 2009, 09:45 AM

Sorry Mark, was busy with my Server Rebuild, mobo crapped out, so had to replace it. Just finished it.

Looks good so far. All the best for the competition.

pro-infinity · Nov 16, 2009, 01:10 PM

Is that a touch screen like my Infinity project or just an LCD? looks good

Thanks a lot, today is gonna be a busy one (got till 11:59PM to submit picts) Stay tuned, I will be posting all day.

Cold Storm · Nov 16, 2009, 01:58 PM

POST, POST, POST, POST!!!

remember man, I'll be here for ya! Clean schedule.

MKmods · Nov 16, 2009, 02:02 PM

I just woke up so I am trying to get focused.

Lucky for me all the wiring has been done over the last few mos (or I would be going nutts) And I know this all works as I have been using it (normally I dont know till the last sec so I usually can be crazy nervous)

I just need to make the top and left panel and i think I will have plenty of time to do a new face shell.

Cold Storm · Nov 16, 2009, 02:09 PM

Sounds good man! Hope the best!

djisas · Nov 16, 2009, 05:32 PM

I like the way its going...
Would it be to hard to do the entire exterior also in cf, black one??

MKmods · Nov 16, 2009, 05:43 PM

Hard and expensive, it would have to be molded... But its possible

by the way Thanks for dropping by dj

Cold Storm · Nov 16, 2009, 05:52 PM

Mk, you know, you inspire me with this mod! I'm now going to try and do a "connection" for my MM case to where I can have my ECP V2 panel right on my desk, and use by plugging it in to the case it self!

MKmods · Nov 16, 2009, 05:54 PM

Thanks CS, while I was doing it it just seemed like all cases should have one.

I think I have the I/O side mocked up

Cold Storm · Nov 16, 2009, 05:57 PM

Looking good MK! did you desided on what you where going to paint the fan mesh?

I'll throw ya a pm tomorrow on what I came up with.. You need to worry about this one first!

MKmods · Nov 16, 2009, 06:00 PM

Im going with Black on the mesh (looks pretty good, thanks pantherx12)

next one will be the black/gray CF (easier to work with) just red is my fav color.

pantherx12 · Nov 16, 2009, 06:01 PM

I've seen molex connections on older cases .....

My friend had a case that looked an awful lot like an Antec sonata ( it wasn't) and it had a molex connection on it, I thought it was really handy too.

I assume that's what CS was talking about.

If not, I blame lack of sleep.

MKmods · Nov 16, 2009, 06:05 PM

yep thats it. To me it gives you the option of 12V, 7V and 5V right there without opening the case.

And on this one its even more important because there are no extra wires laying around to connect to.

Don't forget easy eSATA connections

Can't wait to see the final product though, this case is a very good example of a form factor and layout that I like.

yeah, that's somewhat the idea. I'll post it in my thread in a few mins.. Once I get enough time to type it out before leaving to go home.. lol.. I gotta surf TPU so I don't go crazy doing my work's books!!

Its pretty cool that this mobo has 2 eSatas on the I/O panel as well as 8 USBs. Because they are all towards the front of the right hand side they are a lot easier than having to pull the comp out and mess with wires

Quoted for truth by someone who has eSata on the back and just got done switching HDD's in his system

Fortunately eSata cables come in quite the length.

djisas · Nov 16, 2009, 08:42 PM

I have a sata to esata cable to plug any sata drive externally plus an external psu to power them, but i dont use it anymore since i bought a HDD dock...
