I only wanted it because it would of saved me a heap of electrical work. look at my design on the SFF link. (input is always welcome)

already seen the QPack. couple reasons I passed on the QPack was because of the gaping hole from ripping out the LCD (not that I couldn't cover it up), front fans are 80mm, no ventilated expansion slot covers and the front bezel is ahh.

the aero cool case looks like the exact same thing

BumbleBee · Apr 1, 2009

no it's different.

MKmods · Apr 1, 2009

I must be missing something then

Not be a phanbouy but Aerocool cases I've built in are just not built to a high standard. That couldhave changed.

About Copper Molds one way to go is have a graphite mold made for you...it's not that expensive. The kiln you will need to heat the metal is about $700 for the cheapest one. I've been looking into casting lately.

do you have teh linky

the aero doesn't have a 3.5" external, handle or lcd instead it has a fan controller, 4x usb 2.0 ports, ventilated expansion slots and an extra internal 3.5" bay also I think the windows are removable.

MKmods · Apr 1, 2009

from the picts it looks like an exact copy inside. The Aero one has better front features, 4 USBs and the fan controllers.

The inside looks like an exact copy though.

The Qpack has the handle and underneath its vented (better than the Aero) The little temp gauge on the qpack is silly, but back in its day it was nice.

When I look at the picts it looks like the panels, mobo tray are all interchangeable between the 2 comps.

I do not have any vendor to reccomend since I am still researching the process. I am interested in doing some silver casting but it's all about the same.

That might explain why graphite casting is the way to go.

And that's a mess of different outfits offering the service.

good find... I like the qpack and aero better as there are the honeycomb holes for exhaust.
(looks like bgears cheaped out a bit there)

And ur right , I like the slotted pci covers better on the Aero (they should sell them separate for all cases)

bgears also has honey comb mesh? the rears of each case are the same except for expansion slot covers. anyways I think the cost went to this a touch sensitive led power reset panel in case you were wondering where the power and reset were

Silverstone Aeroslots only problem is they are nickel plated so they kinda offset the look of a expansion slot overall I think every case should have these good for cooling, some expansion slot covers perforated holes are too small and build up dust these are perfect.

Teh sweetness...oh man...its gonna be sweet...

I have been looking at my older qpack

here is the bgears one

I noticed the newer Qpack looks like the bgears one (without the extra vents)

PS: big thanks for the link to the slotted covers (I never saw those)

painted the mesh of my Antec 300 (cell pic)

CyberDruid · Apr 2, 2009

looking good!

I ordered some more crap for the Q Micra build...

Chicken Patty · Apr 2, 2009

looking good POS :toast:

BumbleBee · Apr 3, 2009

changed the dimensions. now 15" length, 10" width, 9" height
changed the window. now 11" length, 5" height
changed colour scheme added third stripe and added strokes beside each stripe for fade effect.
added ledge inside window to install gas spring so it doesn't touch the motherboard tray
added second thumb screw hole.

any ideas?

MKmods · Apr 3, 2009

yep mount the PS, Hdd, and Optical drive below the mobo and you will have something there.

BumbleBee · Apr 3, 2009

I will, decided to work on the outside first. stupid idea should of started with a frame first and work around it now I have to dissect the panels.

CyberDruid · Apr 3, 2009

That will be sweet with the mobo at the level of the window...a different view than most cases. I like it.

DaMulta · Apr 3, 2009

I want to make a total falling res on top_with a 2ed res inside that did the AMD logo, and mabe a 3ed to do the ATi logo.

I think it would be badass, then fall on to the rads on the door and make them total viable/

Now what kind of glue do I need for the plexiglass and where do you buy it>? Lowes

Wamart had no such thing today:shadedshu

Well? Good idea, Bad idea, crazy idea?

Chicken Patty · Apr 3, 2009

bee, that is looking good bro

damulta, that would be crazy but man if you can pull it off, hats off to you bro. Hey, so came across any chicks on the bus? :laugh:

CyberDruid · Apr 3, 2009

You need to get it online at US Plastics or at a plastics shop in your locale. It's more of a solvent but it is called Cement. It fuses the two pieces together.

So they don't sell this where they sell the Plexiglas at"?

Ive been watching youtube videos on how to cut it. Use a touch to round corners and blabalbalba there are a ton of videos.

Cold Storm · Apr 3, 2009

Damulta, it sounds like a good idea, just gotta get with some people that can get what you need.. Can't wait to see more of it! Looks good man!

there is 2 types of glue/cement I used to bond Acrylic.
One is very thin (like water, needs perfect flat surfaces to bond)

One is thicker and works better on un smooth surfaces
