I love Indy! can't wait to see the new movie. Great mod idea +rep :D

[UK-Blade]

Can't wait to see how you make the "ghosts" fly out and the 'chain lightning of death' come out when you take the lid off......:D

Looking forward to another great TGS mod.

Bring it on! :up: :up:

[Lord Ned]

Why did I come in here thinking Halo. lol.

See if you can find some engraved posts for the corners. Have them engraved with birds or something.

[TheGreatSatan]

Supplies arrived.

http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/8296/supplies1tx8.jpg

http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/8517/supplies2gt4.jpg

http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/2442/supplies3yn5.jpg

I'm still waiting for my Core 2 E6650

[Lord Ned]

Nice case, looking good. Lets get some modding done now eh. :P

[vastonecat]

I like the design idea ...somewhere on the net I ran across someone else that was going to do a large case like this out of wood and have several Mobo's in it for a cluster but I beleive he only got so far as the rough out of the wooden case and wound up scrapping the whole idea in favor of a girlfriend... As IF!
So anyways good luck on this. + rep + subscribed.

[TheGreatSatan]

So here I go. I painted the panels Gold.

http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/308/panel1gh7.jpg

http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/4091/panel2tb6.jpg

As of right now I think I'm going to paint this mesh gold too and wrap the case in it.

http://img329.imageshack.us/img329/8508/panel3vb3.jpg

http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/5194/panel4ja8.jpg

And here's the PVC piping for the front and back pillars.

http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/5603/pvczi1.jpg

[BigJohnson]

Idea looks awesome. Cant wait to see some more progress.
+rep

[chaksq]

That mesh looks to be perfect for this Indiana Jones inspired mod. Good luck with this.

[TheGreatSatan]

Finished the first coat this morning.

http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/888/goldstartlo3.jpg

[Braveheart]

dude, you are great at case modding, why would you want to leave the modshop?!

[Eclecticos]

The mesh you found looks like it will match the theme nicely.

[TheGreatSatan]

dude, you are great at case modding, why would you want to leave the modshop?!

Evidently I'm not all that great. I rarely got past round one and was constantly beaten by horrible builds.

[Xperiment]

The gold has come out really nice, look forward to seeing it after the final coat.

[rendermandan]

Dont' feel bad, Motorized madness got beat by, "the desk"...

That site is a joke!

[Braveheart]

Dont' feel bad, Motorized madness got beat by, "the desk"...

thats lame.

[FrooP]

thats not sparta.

[TheGreatSatan]

I added the decorative sheet metal

http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/1535/p1010586wt9.jpg

http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/6426/p1010588au7.jpg

And cut apart the PVC pipes. Man this stuff kicks a lot of dust!

http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/4104/p1010592fv6.jpg

http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/9425/p1010593hl0.jpg

Then made it fit.

http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/9747/p1010596mf2.jpg

http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/7973/p1010597fh4.jpg

[BigJohnson]

Looks good. That decorative metal fits great with this mod.

[TheGreatSatan]

I will put that metal on the left side too, but want to add a window under it. Should I make a certain shape...what do you think?

[TheGreatSatan]

Update: I was going to have the E6550 Core 2, but got a great deal on a E6600 instead! :banana:

[p0Pe]

new hardware is da shizz! wich reminds me that i want a phenom proc:/ (AMD GET GOING)

[BigJohnson]

I think you should make the window the same shape as the cutout in the metal. That would look cool. Or some other sympbol that can be used in the same context as the mod. Maybe a universal symbol seen in the IJ movies.

[TheGreatSatan]

The processor arrived today.

http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/4153/p1010737sv9.jpg

http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/2041/p1010736uu1.jpg

The first pillar has been painted. I want to make sure this one is right before I start making more.

http://www.pcmodhouse.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/p1010739.jpg

I set the top on, but I don't have it connected yet. I may have to drill the holes through the wood as shown and drill holes through the top of the case too. That way the pillars won't have to bolted directly to the case and risk losing their smoothness.

http://www.pcmodhouse.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/p1010742.jpg

[vastonecat]

Looking really good so far. What are you going to do for the angels?

[TheGreatSatan]

I want to just buy something close and maybe paint it to match....

[TheGreatSatan]

I have a 500GB HD coming!

[Bopher]

I will put that metal on the left side too, but want to add a window under it. Should I make a certain shape...what do you think?

What about Indy's hat? Just something crazy to throw out there. Feel free to throw it back I move pretty quick..

[TheGreatSatan]

I've made a decision. This will just be a case mod. I actually have no use for another system and wouldn't have anywhere to put it when finished. So the CPU, Mobo, RAM and Heatsink are all on ebay in one auction. The 500GB Hard drive I'm going to keep and add to R2-M5 (giving him a total of 750GB!)

The modding continues.

[TheGreatSatan]

Yep!

[TheGreatSatan]

Sorry, but...



CANCELLED

[BigJohnson]

What? Why?!

[jdbnsn]

Well, at least he tells us rather than those folks who just stop updating and never return. But I myself am wondering "why", seems like you were halfway there.

[TheGreatSatan]

I can't get my thoughts together. Something new is eating up my mod time and I've been cutting through 4 feet of plexi; worklog coming.

[Drum Thumper]

Hehe...I think I've got a pretty good idea what it is you're working on. (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14359)

Just put this on hold, no need to cancel it. It's coming along quite nicely.

[TheGreatSatan]

As I wait for my $224 worth of supplies for Project Framed, I spent a little time on my Ark of the Covenant Mod.

So I decided to use the shape of the ten commandments as the window, since they are what is in the Ark. I found a pic online

http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/8742/p1020135cs6.jpg

Then cut out the shape and drew it on the panel.

http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/7218/p1020137kz2.jpg

Looks interesting

http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/2457/p1020138qf0.jpg

Hard to cut the curves

http://img396.imageshack.us/img396/8783/p1020139tv0.jpg

I want to coat this side with the mesh too, but should I cut out the commandments here too or leave it covered?

http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/1632/p1020140vn7.jpg

I was drilling the holes for the rivets and bent my new bit!! :(

http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/6135/p1020143zt3.jpg

http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/5985/p1020144mc1.jpg

Painted it gold too.

http://img396.imageshack.us/img396/7856/p1020147fh9.jpg

Started on the other front bezel beam.

http://img396.imageshack.us/img396/1685/p1020148hz7.jpg

[985323]

How did you manage to bend your bit like that?

[TheGreatSatan]

Mad Skillz!

[DonT-FeaR]

rofl i was gunna ask the same question lol if u snapped it i would get it but bent!?!?!?!?!

[TheGreatSatan]

Here's the gold layer on the pillar

http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/4082/p1020157on6.jpg

I cut off the top piece of mesh so that the board will lay flatter and it left a cool effect.

http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/1254/p1020155jb8.jpg

So much more to do and this is where I'm heading...

http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/4720/p1020152dn3.jpg

http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/8110/p1020151gj4.jpg

[DonT-FeaR]

nice keep it up do indy proud

[TheGreatSatan]

I've got more ideas for this mod and am heading to the store to get them. BTW, heres the ark that I'm basing this all off of.

http://www.pcmodhouse.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/actual.jpg

[TheGreatSatan]

So more work to show.

This is what I'm shooting for.

http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/8490/p1020322jt0.jpg

http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/5056/p1020323qe8.jpg

Here's how I'll do it. I used good ol' expanding foam to fill in the pillar

http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/6426/p1020324bm9.jpg

I have this thin rod

http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/9333/p1020327ge6.jpg

I had to cut it to size

http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/7141/p1020328na6.jpg

Then I dropped in the rod

http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/1724/p1020329go8.jpg

And drilled a hole in the plywood base

http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/9996/p1020331ky3.jpg

I checked to make sure that the rod will fit.

http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/1223/p1020332ay8.jpg

And shaved off the excess foam

http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/3280/p1020333kn9.jpg

Then all I had to do was set the pillar on top and push the rod through the top and bottom.

http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/1529/p1020334rd3.jpg

http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/1351/p1020335ad2.jpg

Three to go. :)

[DonT-FeaR]

wow thats incredibaly easier than what i would of come up with

[TheGreatSatan]

Unfortunately, expanding foam continues to expand for hours. I went downstairs this morning and the foam had expanded more and pushed the pillar away from the case before drying. I'm gonna have to shave a bit more off and try again.

[DonT-FeaR]

bugger :( have fun :P

[Beta-brain]

Very original idea, nice work, that mesh reminds me of the kind of shapes and patterns you see in churchs/religious architecture so it looks right with the theme.
Can't give rep yet (noob) but I would if I could and I have subscribed :)

[TheGreatSatan]

I'll get more done soon. My wife has had the week off and doesn't want me modding while she's home, because I'm not spending time with the family.

[TheGreatSatan]

So it's been months now and I'm finally ready to finish this mod. There will be some changes made to the base and topper because wood looks like crap when painted gold so I'll do something different there.

My Angels arrived and I've painted them!

http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/8796/p1020854mq7.jpg

http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/7327/p1020856al1.jpg

The pillars were done with tow different kinds of gold paint, but now that I bought more I can match them all.

http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/8141/p1020853vq3.jpg

[DonT-FeaR]

nice good to see this back in action

[TheGreatSatan]

So I finished the 1st part of the top, there's more coming.

http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/9375/p1020858iv5.jpg

http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/6268/p1020859gy2.jpg

http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/1513/p1020860kl1.jpg

I have some old trim lying around that I'll be adding under the topper to transition the 90 degree angle.

http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/8004/p1020861xq9.jpg

http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/9453/p1020865pf6.jpg

I'll also be adding more to the top along the edges making it look far more elegant.

[DonT-FeaR]

kool thats gunna look sweet

[TheGreatSatan]

The trim has been painted.

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020944.jpg

Here's where it'll go

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020947.jpg

I bought more trim too

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020941.jpg

And these cool knobs

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020943.jpg

This is how I do my wood cuts. Plain old Miter setup

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020948.jpg

The two pieces go under the case like this:

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020949.jpg

And here's what to expect when I add the columns

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020950.jpg

[TheMainMan]

I've decided to subscribe even after finding out that it wasn't a Halo mod, lol. Mainly due to the fact that your mod has such an awesome colour to it and lots of detail. +rep
TheMainMan

[DonT-FeaR]

looking great nice work :P

[TheGreatSatan]

Alright, more work on top. I cut and added a sweeeeet chair rail.

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020951.jpg

So you know where I'm going with this.

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020952.jpg

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020953.jpg

Now I'm working on the bars that the people who carry the Ark hold on to. Like here:

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/handles.jpg

I added those cool handles I painted earlier to the posts I cut with the miter saw.

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020954.jpg

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020955.jpg

The bars will be bolted to the bottom of the case

More coming.

[TheGreatSatan]

I did a little more work tonight. I cut the rope looking pieces for the topper trim

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020956.jpg

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020957.jpg

I used plain old Elmers glue to bond it.

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020961.jpg

I added the carrying poles to the bottom sides. I still have to physically attach them.

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020962.jpg

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020963.jpg

There's more coming to the bottom, including feet.

[DonT-FeaR]

cool nice work mate.. keep it up

[TheGreatSatan]

I decided to add a different gold to the mix. A shiny gold to the trim and angels.

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020967.jpg
http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020968.jpg

I found a cool looking top piece too.

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020966.jpg

[TheGreatSatan]

I've got some more done today. I painted the handles for the carry bars

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020973.jpg

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020974.jpg

I have more of the trim still drying, but you get the idea.

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020971.jpg

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020970.jpg

You think there are any other places that would benefit from the shiny gold?

[TheGreatSatan]

3rd Update for the day!

I bought these cool thread spools from the local Hobby Lobby that I will be using for the Feet.

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020977.jpg

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020978.jpg

The top is done. It all has to dry though

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020979.jpg

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020980.jpg

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020988.jpg

Now I'm working on attaching the transition trim near the top and the handles. The handles are going to be bolted on and they will be able to support the weight of the case when it's all done.

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020986.jpg

[Eclecticos]

It has a real authentic look. I can picture it in a church setting.
Looks great with the perforated mesh, its almost like a little confessional booth.
Moldings, and Angels match the theme exactly. +Rep

[mittelmeier]

Looking great. The spools will tie in well for feet. +rep.

[DonT-FeaR]

yea very nice work once again..

[TheGreatSatan]

I attach the feet tonight!

[TheGreatSatan]

Today when I got home from work I mounted the feet. Here's what I need for each

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020990.jpg

I drilled out one of the spool holes to make it bigger. The screws will go in through the bottom and in to the case

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020996.jpg

Now the top of the screw will sit flush with the ground

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020992.jpg

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020993.jpg

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020999.jpg

It took a whole 5 minutes total

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1020998.jpg

[TheGreatSatan]

So I attached the other carry bar and one of the front columns and I must say, IT LOOKS LIKE CRAP. I need to find something besides my current column choice to make the front look better.

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1030001.jpg

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1030004.jpg

[BerticusPryme]

try and fill it it with bondo then then sand to smooth it out and kinda round it in.

[TheGreatSatan]

Tomorrow I'm going shopping to fix this. Here's the Ark model I'm using:

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1030006.jpg

And here's the direction I'm heading

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1030005.jpg

[TheGreatSatan]

So I had to rethink this. I bought 4 of these table legs

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1030007.jpg

I then pulled out the screw in one for each side

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1030008.jpg

Then added glue and screwed them together

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1030009.jpg

Then comes the paint.

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1030010.jpg

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1030011.jpg

And here's kind of what it'll look like later

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1030014.jpg

[rendermandan]

Wow, this is really coming together nicely. Great ideas. +rep

[DonT-FeaR]

much better :) nice change

[TheGreatSatan]

I'm not sure about the front. Does anyone have any ideas about what I should do, if anything?

[Cymae]

see if you can attach a grill like the side over it and then stealth everything...

[DonT-FeaR]

took mah wordss.... GRR

[Cymae]

also that round thing on top could be a good opportunity for a fan grill

[nevermind1534]

My sister saw this worklog, and now wants an arc of the covenant computer.

[TheGreatSatan]

It's just a case mod for me. I'm not putting a system in. She want it?

[nevermind1534]

I don't know; I told her to mod her own. She has plans for a few that I doubt will ever materialize. I have too many cases lying around the house and in my closet.

[DonT-FeaR]

dude.... if your sister wants it buy it its tgs work.... gees........

[nevermind1534]

dude.... if your sister wants it buy it its tgs work.... gees........

But she's flat out broke, and I don't really have any money either. We'd have to get hardware first, too.

[DonT-FeaR]

ah...

fair enough then.. lol

my bad...

[nevermind1534]

It would be a shame to see it just sit there collecting dust.

[TheMainMan]

Really like the new carrying bars. They look sweet! +rep

[DonT-FeaR]

true dat...

[TheGreatSatan]

dude.... if your sister wants it buy it its tgs work.... gees........

Last person I sent a case to was Bucko :(

[TheGreatSatan]

My wife had the weekend off, so I'm back at it today!

[SXRguyinMA]

well wheres the update then? :? lol beautiful work so far, nice job :up:

[TheGreatSatan]

er...tonight

[TheGreatSatan]

So I needed work on the front.................with bondo

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1030018.jpg

I prepped my mesh

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1030019.jpg

Before I painted and bolted it on I needed to cut out the Power and Reset buttons

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1030020.jpg

Here's how it's going.

http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/TheGreatSatan/P1030021.jpg

Then I painted and added the rivets

Then I cut out the blow hole and added the mesh

And painted the rivets too.

I added the lone slot loading DVD drive

It looks kind of alkward without the drive bay covered in the mesh too, can you stealth it?

[TheGreatSatan]

I could.....it's a slot loading drive though

[Karbon Killa]

Great looking mod, I love it. About making the drive steathed. I would think it would be pretty easy. Just cutting some of that "mesh" to add onto it and cut a hole around the slot...

[FuzzyPlushroom]

Indeed, just flatten the bezel a bit, perhaps, and cut the mesh around the disc slot and eject button. Karbon's figured me out on this one.

looking good man +rep

I drilled holes for the carry bars to mounted to the sides.

I'll be using countersink nails

I've been meaning to touch up the angel topper. I bought some wood filler for the seams where the decorative trim pieces come together.

Once it dried I reapplied an extra thick coat of paint to assist in the fill in

I cut out another piece to stealth the DVD drive and I'll add it in a bit

nice work man... very good..

[TheGreatSatan]

I stealthed the DVD drive

[mittelmeier]

Great work. The drive looks better stealthed I think.

[Karbon Killa]

Looks great with the stealthed drive. Love it man. This is one awesome mod.

[nevermind1534]

The drive looks great; you can barely tell that it's there.

[TheGreatSatan]

I post on a lot of other forums too and a lot of people hate this mod. So I ask myself:

"Are TBCS members being truthful?"

[Langer]

Haha.

I don't hate it... but I think it'd be more successful with greater attention to fit and finish. The fabrication quality seems a little sub-par - but the idea is strong.

[Xpirate]

I like it. The theme from Indiana Jones runs through my head when ever I look at this work log. And I'm being truthful :up:

[mittelmeier]

I really like this mod. When I first looked at it I was on the fence because I didn't really get into the Indiana Jones movies but your mod makes me want to watch them.

[nevermind1534]

I'm not sold on the color, although you really can't do much better with gold spraypaint.

[985323]

yea i like all your other work but im just not sold on this one

[DonT-FeaR]

i like it but the front is kinda weird... i like it tho.. :)

[TheGreatSatan]

Well, like I've told others, I'm not done.

[TheGreatSatan]

Wow, seems like my worklog was locked over at Wizd.co.uk because it's just a case mod and not a PC mod. I will put guts into it at the end for pics, but that's all. I think I've gotten more flak over this project, than any other because people are pissed that Satan is doing a God related project and it's not up to their silly religious standards.

[DonT-FeaR]

pfft religion....

oh noes!!! satan.... pfft...

i like it..

[FuzzyPlushroom]

I'd suggest that they stick your Ark in a particular dark orifice, but I'd hate to see what would happen to it...

More importantly, yes, I do like it. It's unusual, it's of good quality, and it looks about as good as possible given the materials you had to work with. You'll hear no serious complaints from me.

[Langer]

To hell the name haters!

I dig the name.

[TheGreatSatan]

When I finish, my Satan case is going to eat it anyway!
