[b4i7]

ive begun working up some new ideas to start producing out of aluminum/ acrylic/ stainless steel

what kind of modding parts and accesories would you guys look for out of these materials

im working on some aluminum radiator grills today :)

pics later if i get some made

thanks, Sean

EDIT: products on the list so far:

Radiator grills
Case handles

and soon to begin again...waterblocks :)

[Braveheart]

so your asking what to make out of those materials?

[b4i7]

yeah....im looking for a variety of accesories that you guys would be interested in...such as grills, drive covers etc. modding accesories

[Braveheart]

ok, got it, well if you can i need big strong steel case handles, and cheap.

[Xperiment]

One possibility would be covers for parts. Like chromed pump covers etc. Would work for pretty much any part if done right.

[b4i7]

i plan on working mostly with polished alu/acrylic...all machined

pump covers would be a bit harder because of size...but i do plan on making pump tops for like the laing DDC

[Xperiment]

Could do a range of covers for the corsair ram cooler, fan covers (not grills) kinda like full 'box' surrounds ...... Just take a part people trust and use and make it look better buy covering it.

[b4i7]

ill have to look into some cover ideas

well...i didnt finish my grill today...but ill be going to the machine shop tomorrow to make it....i think you guys will like it :)

[Spawn-Inc]

machined thumb screws for cases?
wheels for cases?
power/reset buttons?

[FrooP]

custom power supply cases, custom cd cases motherboard trays, i.o shields fanguards... just thoughts, good night

[Braveheart]

i am going to need a front grill that looks like the front of a model T hot rod in a few months, but not right now...so when i start my next mod I'll tell ya.

do you think you can make something like that? and i want it to fit on the lower front of this: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2486991&CatId=1510 now don't run off and do this just yet, i am doing another mod before this so i have a lot of time before i need it, i just want to know if you think it's possible.

[b4i7]

yeah....its very posiible...when you get around to this mod, ill need the sizes of the space you plan on mounting it to and a few other things, ill talk to you about it in PM

ok, thanks.

I like the idea of handles ... different sizes and shapes, maybe a combination of aluminum and acrylic with an led to boot? Something that could actually hold a case up without breaking off itself.

[J-Roc]

an aluminum cd drive tray would kick arse.

[b4i7]

i could always do those custom...but it would be hard because for the most part arent they different for each manufacturer?
