hey guyz this weekend i spent it in the mountains and i planed to mod my computer there..... my uncles has tuns of tools there so i thought i could use im to make a window.
when i got there tho i saw the dremel and all the nesessary tools... but when i started to mod i noticed that the dremel did not have the points!! the saw did not have the blades!!! and i freaked out blink.gif blink.gif

so my dad cam and helped my find and idea... looking arround we saw a 2.5kg axe laying on the floor and a 5 kg big asss hammer!!! so we put the case on a bench of wood, put the axe down on the marked line and with the hammer i banged on the axe until it cut the metal case. then since the edges were all bent we used a normal hammer to streighten it out... you can still see the hammer marks on the case.

It can be hard to believe but it came out very good!!! i laffed teh whole time during the operation but it looks kewl!! ill post some pics as soon as i get my cam to work

haha an axe huh... not bad. i found a jig-saw works fine, but that looks like a very clean straight cut.

when my dad came of with the idea a started lifing like hell!!! id never thought it was gona work... but it came out pretty good and a lot of streigth!!!
the i made the holes because i was planning to put a big 160mm fan there... the problem was that it was so laud that i could not concentrate on the computer... even if my cpu temps dropped of 5°!!! The fan was the one that they put on the radiator of a 1000cc motorcycle to cool it when the bike is not moving so it was very strong but too loud!!! now i put a 80mm normal fan to get some air in but its nothing like the 160mm beast....
ill post a pic as soon as i get home wink.gif
