Guest BFG Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 Well... Today I am starting to mod my lan pc. The case is a red aspire x-qpack with the tri-window panel. In about an hour or so I am making a dvd window, and as soon as I get some LEDs those will be placed inside. Tomorrow or the next day I will be laser etching AT LEAST one of the windows, any ideas/suggestions? I was thiking about an amd logo on one side, and maybe a "Fueled by Bawls" on the other. I am going to the empty 5 1/2 bezel with one from my stacker, again probably later tonight. So... Here is a list of what I have planned so far. 1. DVD window 2. Custom paint job 3. Laser etching on the window. (s)? 4. Bezel mod 5. MAYBE some light switches not sure yet... 6. Anything else I think of that seems cool, I might do a cooling mod or two. I will have some pics after I complete each task, so excpet some preliminary DVD window pics tonight. -BFG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BFG Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 I am going to do some sanding and griding tomorrow as well as apply a coat or two of primer. I am having to put the etching off until later this week, because I can't think of any good designs lol. I am thinking about painting it either a black color or a Ferarri red. -BFG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Looking good so far! Just wondering if the optical drive modification would do any harm to your operations in any way? They tend to vibrate alot so i was curious if the mod would somehow interfere with it. Good Job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BFG Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Tomorrow I am laser etching one of the windows. I still haven't decided which, but I did decide what I am going to etch. I also applied the first coat of paint on my dvd drive and its lookin great. I will post some pics of that tomorrow after the second coat. -BFG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BFG Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Well I messed up on the laser etching it =[. It was in the wrong position, so the bottom part of the logo was running off of the window. I called aspire andd can have a new piece sent to me for 10 bux so I am just going to do that. The only reason I am not using a regular sheet of lexan is beacuse the stock one has a little bevel that makes it perfectly flush.
