this is for those of you who may remember this earlier this year
2nd ever build, part one

ive been out of the modding game for a good few months, but recently i have been carrying on with this ongoing project, heres what i have done so far....

i have sanded it all down as its getting sprayed in 4 weeks even though you cant see it too well in these pics, i will get some more soon.
i have put in a nice 120mm fan in da front, and i didnt like the style of switch in the front so i whacked it out with a hammer and brought a new 2 way switch and forced into the casing of the old switch. and instead of using acrylic i have used a holey sheet o metal for a window panel, and finaly i have cut out the bay at the top that had the power button on it and the floppy drive bit, who needs floppys nowadays, maybe some people but not me so i thought i would create an extra 5.25 bay.










all i have left to do is the black paint job, case handles, and a 120mm fan hole in the back, then i start saving for my AMD 64 PCIexpress system next year, with my SLI graphics cards, mmmmmmmm

I was working on my rig last week and my 3 year old was sitting next to me and she said "daddy whats th*************" before I could even see what see was doing she stuck her hand in a Vantec TMD Fan. It took the skin off of like 3 of here knuckles. Now she's scared to even come near the computer.

You know your cases buddy, i love full towers tongue.gif
Nice work on the front fan wink.gif
General
very nicely done. Excellent cutting smile.gif

where did you buy your mesh from
yatstv
some one said about cases, as in more than one, well the one in the link b4 is the same case, this is all just what i have done since then, anyway.
i got the mesh from a computer modding shop here in the uk

www.over-clock.co.uk ( shop )
it was about £22,

thanx for all your kind comments, any ideas would be welcome, not that im running out, just its nice to hear others ideas. and yes the rear fan hole will be 120mm too
more pics on the way soon

I would put a cone on the front fan, can't remember what it was called excactly but somebody will know, looks pimp tho now and still has great potential
FunkyMonkey
that front fan looks really good
i dont know if i'm just stupid or something but what is the fan attached to?
it looks like you have a circle shaped fan instead of the square ones

EDIT:
omg i am retarded
i see what's happening
TimeMachine
wow, before i saw the 1st part of the building, i thought the fan was stock ohmy.gif good job man, it blends in reallll well .
Silverfox

I,d cut my fav. logo or design in polished metal (S/S or what ever) and put it in the middle of the mesh on small mobo stand offs.
It'll look like the opposite of what everyone is doing like a clear shape window on the opaque side pannel, yours would be open large viewing area and opaque polished metal logo.
Just an idea i get dry.gif
