No! Can't believed you butchered that case! Everything was going so well until now :cry: Unsubscribed before I call the aesthetics police
 
nice sleeving now that i see it hooked up :toast:

window ... I like but I hoping for an apple window :p
 
I'm not to sure about the window. However as an artist I never judge something until the creator is done! Keep going man!

im not really sure either, i have to use the file a little more, still missing a few spots, but all that tomorrow, im wasted now
 
Looks very nice so far :toast: :toast:
 
just an idea Don but maybe get some rubber and make a a square gasket with rounded edges to sandwich the Window so even if things are not perfectly square you can give the illusion of it being so and it should help with rattle and other noises not mention will look better then say a window attached to plain metal
 
^^ this.

If you get the window looking nice you would have improved the overall look.

Looking great so far. Awaiting next update!
 
thanks KieX :)

i will get on the window later tonight

today ive been sanding and filling some small holes, where case feets were, and some other small holes, and a rather big one i had to cut some metal for it

filled the usb and fireware + audio since the cables were fucked, so only the powerbutton will work

you guys :shadedshu:shadedshu:laugh:


oh well

this is crap , as in buttfucked

003.jpg


look how uneven that shit is :banghead:

fuck that, i will find a laser cutter and get it fixed up,

yes i know i could just cover it with some rubber thing, but i would still know it was there :shadedshu

and i did some test fitting, i need a proper MB tray, the one in it now is S-H-I-T , it isnt even a tray, onle I/O area with PCI slots

so i need to find a alu tray somewhere, any ideas?

yup......only thing is that it will end up costing 100$ at least when it clears the customs here :(
 
If you draw a perfectly squared box just outside the window lines, using the stretches of it that are straight for part of the box lines, you can use a dremel to slowly trim away the curved parts.
 
Clamp a straight piece of wood to the panel, and run your jigger next to it. Works like a champ. Just measure the offset of the base of the jigsaw to the blade, and clamp your straight edge there. A level works great for a straight edge.

EDIT: Lots of folks, for some reason or another, use Lian Li trays for their aftermarket modding.

thank you for your ideas guys

but here's the thing

on the back of the side panel there is a "frame" for the locking mechanism holes, and i need to keep the window inside that area, so if i start cutting more and fuck that up too, then there isnt really too much room left for me to fix the shit :(

that is the reason for the laser cutting

but first im gonna try and get some of that rubber thing to cover the edge, if it looks good ill let it be as it is for now, and if it looks bad ill get it laser cutted next month:toast:

yep the Lian-Li trays is the ones im looking at, but ffs i have ny country, you cant get parts like that here, thats too special so no shop has those things

do you guys know any EU shops that sells them?
 
yea all u really need to do is get a rubber gasket thats fits the hole then but the window in measure for the holes etc to anchor it then use another rubber gasket on top then anchor the window down


example... photoshop pic coming soon.....

screw that ill do it in 3d cause im just that bad ass

window render 1.jpg


window render 2.jpg


window render 3.jpg


basically with proper modding and some rubber u create a nice square gasket that goes under the window then use another gasket on top then attach it to the side panel this way it looks neat and clean and the rubber will make a nice seal that dosent amplify sound or rattle

nah, i already have a 80gig intel drive, so your (mine) ssd will go somewhere else, or i might trade it for some water cooling parts :pimp:

i got one of these for free

Swiftech Apogee GT.jpg


so what im thinking is this:
paint the chrome plate black or red, and then make a acryllic plate to put on top of it , and paint that, to cover all those other holes that i dont need

what do you guys think about that?
