New Guy BUILDing case from scrap

Hey guys Im MKmods friend and he Directed me here to post my rig that im building to get some suggestions and comments

My idea for this case was just to be simple looking and sleek looking The top will be acrylic (I think i might add some hood pins if my pocket alows it ). My color theme was going to be Black all around the Prefrated metal and im going to leave the trim silver .

I am a Novice Modder so any sugestions or Idea on what i Should do would be Greatly appreciated

here are pics

Bottom part

know the edges are a lil rough around the fan hole but im going to put rubber around the edges when i find them

btw any one where to get those rubber things that go over the metal edges? I tired home depot they didnt' have it

loving that counterstrike hat, that case is HUGE though

go to an autoparts store and get some door edge guard...will do the same thing...Has glue in the middle to help adhere it also!

You can also get the trim molding here.

that would work, its not soft so you may need to cut it into pieces to use but its local.(also comes in different styles)

I love to see those 200mm fans Shinobi....Welcome to TPU.
Another rubber edge I get from Petrastech (its twice as thick as the MNPCtech stuff)
http://www.petrastechshop.com/neruedtrmo.html

I use them both depending on the part.

It is big, but the cooling is really gonna be nice with those 2 120mm fans blowing over the mobo.
See if you can mount the DVD flush with the case

and where the video cards mount is there room to put a couple of 60mm fans for exhaust?

(PS: I just noticed how you bent the alum to mount the DVD, pretty cool)

Next time you punch holes for the 120s come by and il let you use my hole saw (fast and clean)

i thought you said you were modding a case from scrap? it dont look like scrap

Shinobi · Feb 27, 2008

Thanks Mark for the link its actually cheaper than the other place .

as for the 60mm fans where can i get some ? thats a good idea (kinda reminds me of the RLS case u build..Eternal still hasn't put it together yet and Im pissed about it :banghead:

)

Yeah i will try to make that DVD slot flush when i get home It should be so hard .. :roll:

Calling things like these "Mods" is a great injustice. A mod is modifying something that's there, this is a creation

different league to a mod

Let's see you make this mod, make us a log and post all the pictures. :nutkick:

I don't think you got my point. Calling this a "mod" isn't doing it justice, it's a creation, in a different league to a mod (modifying).

Good point..

Its a lot harder to build from scratch than to just fix up a reg case. Another thing that makes it hard is showing it as you work as there are always mistakes and people see them. There are tons of things to consider when building from scratch like where to put the wiring, parts, fans,lights and on and on.

Dont even get me started on taking picts (I suck so bad) As you get better you learn to take flattering picts

To me I like when people point out stuff they dont like as it gives me a chance to see things from another perspective.
