lol, I was wondering if everyone had given up on me... Il post a pict of the new bottom panel of the case in a few min.
(thanks for stopping By SK and CD)

jbunch07 · Dec 19, 2008

we would never give up on ya Mark!

MKmods · Dec 19, 2008

We had a cold spell and a foot of snow here, When I woke up yesterday I noticed my water pressure was very low and I heard a noise under my bathroom floor..
Poor pipes exploded :eek:

So I spent the last 2 days in a foot of snow trying to replace the pipes in my poor house.

looking great,, are you modding a old case or doing it all from scrach

When I read that I realized I was cheating using a top and bottom piece from another scrap case so this is for you SK :toast:

I just finished up changing some lights in a fan for KBD and between all this mess i made a new bottom for the case. I think its much nicer looking than the one I recycled.

Basic case base

My version

I wanted good mobo cooling so I thought if a 60mm fan was cool a 120mm one would be cooler, lol

I really like the 45deg rail I bent into it (bout time I class up a mod, lol)

PS: BIG thanks to MNPCTech for the beautiful case feet. I ordered some mesh a long time ago and they threw them in the box and asked me to use them..Well this seems like the perfect mod to do so. I have no clue how they can make $ off these things, they are fricken elegant.

Solaris17 · Dec 19, 2008

awsome updates thanks mark

jbunch07 · Dec 19, 2008

like you said, I love those case feet!

MKmods · Dec 19, 2008

I cant possibly do them justice with my poor camera skills but here is a better shot

they are about 1 3/4" diam and 7/8" tall.

Solaris17 · Dec 19, 2008

wow those are nice im glad you got them though those are super nice unfortunetely they would be wasted on most color schemes for example if i put those on my armor it would look rediculous im glad you got some though you have an uncanny habit of being able to impliment everything in a smooth design concept while keeping in mind realistic and set goals.

jbunch07 · Dec 19, 2008

Hmm I could use some of those. http://www.mnpctech.com/CaseFeetMachined.html
found them. ooo i like the black ones too!

MKmods · Dec 19, 2008

Yep thats them, I am gonna color these to match the case when Im done.

I have no clue how they can make them and make a profit as well.. But its cool to support good ol USA ingenuity.

Now that's a really nice looking bottom :rolleyes:

It's really looking, the way I like to see a mod, factory un-modded, Great skills

Chicken Patty · Dec 19, 2008

damn Mark, coming out awesome bro. Did you get the pipes fixed completely then?

MKmods · Dec 19, 2008

Thanks SK.. tomorrow I will do the top. I was thinking of making the face out of CarbonFiber with the 3 120mm fans mounted flush.

LOL, nope.. I talk way too much and wasted time so it got really cold and dark. Il get the water running tomorrow though.

Hey Adam, I see you lurking..too bad you didnt show up today you could have spent it with me laying in the snow soldering pipes..

theJesus · Dec 19, 2008

I can't see the new pics

Sorry to hear 'bout the pipes though; hope you get 'em fixed soon.

steelkane · Dec 19, 2008

That just sounds nice, CarbonFiber with the 3 120mm fans mounted flush.

MKmods · Dec 19, 2008

I cant wait for you to see the tricked out fans :twitch:

...
This weekend I will mess around with the CarbonFiber to see what makes the best look.

Here is a Carbonfiber shell I made for a Shuttle case

It has a thick coat of Ultra-Glo on it. I may try a front that has a more natural look to it.

steelkane · Dec 19, 2008

tricked out fans, CarbonFiber, New bottom, New top, water, this is going to be good.

MKmods · Dec 19, 2008

and the best part, triple rad (PA 120.3) all in a 17" tall case.

wanted to, but I was on call, just got home not to long ago. Soldering pipes sounds like way to much fun, especially since it's just a tad cold out there.

I keep telling you , drop that Dr. baloney and be a case modder like me... :laugh:

(lol, I modded my house pipes)

by the way ur comp is all done.

oily_17 · Dec 19, 2008

Looking good Mark...this build is flying along nicely.

I cant wait to see what you do with the carbon front panel and fans, if that shuttle case is anything to go on then it will be special.

Those feet look brilliant will have to check them out myself.

Looking forward to seeing your technical trickery with a case again, MK. :toast:

MKmods · Dec 20, 2008

Thanks guys and welcome to the thread..
I had to finish up my pipes today (yea... water!) and I modded a fan for KBD so I will make up the top and mount the HDDs this weekend.

theJesus · Dec 20, 2008

Glad you got the pipes done and can't wait to see some moar pics :toast:
