Ozz's Totally Awesome Case Mod!

[jbunch07]

I like the PSU.

this is coming along real nice. Its making me want to paint/mod my case.

Go for it, it's fun if you don't run into any problems with paint bonding to plastic.

bro its also making me want to mod mines too hehe. Hey the PSU is really really nice, great job with that bro.

 

[jbunch07]

yeah i just dont think i'll have the time, with school,work,gym,study all that good stuff but i would really like to.

Im thinking a B/W theme or something.

 

[OzzmanFloyd120]

Haha, I've become addicted too!
My next mod I have planned already. My best friend and I dream of starting our own production studio (films and movies) and this is the logo we made about five years back for the idea.
I want to see if I can do something more complex like this with the same method I did for the flames on the drive bays

 

[OzzmanFloyd120]

Actually this one is more along the lines of what I was thinking of for my next mod. This one isn't as flat looking as the first.

 

[jbunch07]

Nice logo...it would be an interesting build. Something different.

 

[OzzmanFloyd120]

Thanks, I made it in Image Composer five years ago!

I have to say you have done a hell of a job with this man it looks great. Keep it up.

 

[jbunch07]

Ha it kind of reminds me something...i just cant think of what it is! but dont worry im sure ill think of it subconsciously out of the blue tomorrow...

Front of the case didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped, but I'm still satisfied. I don't think I ever went into detail about the paint not sticking to the plastic, but every time I sprayed it it would just bubble up, after four failed attempts at spraying it I bought some paint I could roll on and that texture also looked like crap.
All in all I probably sanded this peice about six times now.

Like I said, I'm satisfied, but could be happier.
I also just want to showcase my bondo work because that turned out awesome (way better than I expected I might add.

That used to be the front USB hub by the way.

yeah the paint does't look all that great on the front cover. Weird why it was not sticking. Why not try another paint???

Overall nice though.

Haha, the light and angle of those pictures really aren't nice to that piece at all. They don't look quite as bad in person, and the parts that are bad are going to get covered up, so I'm not too worried.

I tried three different types of paint, only one that stuck without a thick coat of primer was enamel that I had to roll on myself.

hmmm weird. Well it doesn't look bad it pictures either, it just could look better, but I think your case doesn't want to look any better it doens't want to get painted.

Front of case is all pimped out now.

Thoughts?

 

[jbunch07]

Its BIG PIMPIN!
lookin good. The fished product will be awesome!

 

[OzzmanFloyd120]

I think I'm going to add a little more paint to that peice. There's going to be another peice of flair on the next part I mod, but I need to buy a specific tool to do it the way I want it

 

[jbunch07]

You're such a tease!

 

[OzzmanFloyd120]

Painted under the flames, I think this looks a little nicer.

 

[Chicken Patty]

hey bro it looks badass bro. Nice paint job

 

[OzzmanFloyd120]

Another beauty shot, in a day or so this will be the window.

 

[mrw1986]

Thats awesome man! Great work!

 

[Chicken Patty]

Dude, that is really nice. When do you expect to have the whole thing done? I can't wait.

I'm not sure, I'm still looking for some HW for the insides, that way it's just not a pretty case.
Right now I have 2*1GB Tracers and a 7900GS to run in it.
I'm trying to talk a friend of mine into selling me his 6400BE that's laying dormant, if he doesn't I have a couple 5kBEs on standby. I still haven't found a mobo or HDD that I'll be happy with though. (You should encourage people to buy my stuff in my FS thread to help fun that)

Basically as far as case mods go I'm hoping to be done in about a week. As for HW installation I'm not really sure.
