theres nothing better than a nice new paint brush to clean the dust away

yup I use compressed air though

tzitzibp said:
i agree... that is why i install filters... but still clean it once a month!

yeah it a good thing to clean them because after a while the air restriction causes wear on the fan

see if you can get these.. (they also come in black) they could be a great addition to a mesh modded rig...

I like the look of that case, its a cool design.

what hardware are you gonna do all of this uber modding for anyway?>

Binge · Nov 3, 2008

From what I remember this is just a regular Sony Vaio. Looking great so far man!

I finished cutting out the hole for the fans in the front:

next I'm tackling the back

I am also running out of cut off wheels (OH NO!!!) so I most likely won't finish tonight

BrooksyX · Nov 3, 2008

Mod looks pretty sweet so far. Can't wait to see the finished product.

SkyKast · Nov 3, 2008

I am sorry this mod is going so slowly, the case being steel makes cutting take much longer

freakshow · Nov 3, 2008

i cant wait to see it finished.....its going to look sweet i bet....great job so far man, keep up the good work :toast:

SkyKast · Nov 3, 2008

I'm kickin in for the night I'll hit up Aubachon hardware tomorrow and grab a few cut-off discs

steelkane · Nov 3, 2008

Looking good, & it looks like you having some fun with that cut-off wheel.

Don' be sorry. We'd rather you take your time and it be decent. Rather than a sh*t 5 minute job :rolleyes:
