really Old Power Spec PC case MOD

[BigBig5]

There's a really old Power Spec PC case laying around my house, getting all dusty so I started to think of mod for it. It's a Min Tower thats for a Micro ATX. The case is all plastic with a thin layer of metal behind it , but the chassis is all metal. Pics of the case will be put up soon.
The Hardware TBA

Things to do:

• Cut a 120mm blow hole for the front.
• Cut out the 80mm rear mesh and add a wire grill painted Orange.
• Add black mesh to the front.
• Get new PCI slot covers and drive bay covers.
• Cut a window out.
• Paint the out side gloss black.
• Paint the chassis gross black, but not the drive bays and slot covers.
• Paint Drive bays and slot covers gloss orange.

Here is the case all taken apart.

Drive Cage.

Tin metal behind the side panel and there is one under the top panel.

Don't need because its going to be replace by mesh.

Subbed, just for the sake of seeing what becomes of the front facia. It so reminds me of the case I had back in the P3 days.

I might start this weekend, so keep watching.

Cool

I'm in Chapel Hill, so you're really close

 

[BigBig5]

Tonight I am going to draw out a window for it to see what it would look like.

 

[BigBig5]

I will be using Krylon Yellow-Orange Fluorescent Spray Paint to give it a pop with UV lights.

Cool can't wait!!!

haha my dad actually got this case /sub

 

[BigBig5]

I found the back panel.

 

[BigBig5]

Here is the plan for the left side panel. The right side will have mesh just like the left

 

[BigBig5]

I might use gutter guard mesh.

Every time i see a case like this i instantly remember the first DOOM haha

 

[BigBig5]

Sorry for a long wait. I've been really busy with school.
Tomorrow I will post some pics. I cut out the mesh of the rear 80mm fan. In the middle of cutting the upper metal piece because it just looks bad. I would have the window cut, but don't know how to use my dads old jig-saw. He's out of town right now. Can't find a speed setting on it. I am not going to put mesh on the left side. I am thinking of putting mesh at the top and right side. Any thoughts

 

[BigBig5]

Can any one move this to the project logs.

wow..it has a back panel!

 

[BigBig5]

I am going to do some more on it tomorrow and have pics up. Got a metal mesh trash can from Walmart for around $9. Its way cheaper then modders mesh and looks great.
Mesh looks like this.

There was a mod I saw a long time ago that was made out of a stainless steel trash can. You know, the kind with the foot lever to open the lid?
