Hi all! It's my third case project, a Thirteen ghost movie-theme.

Some pics from the movie:

The maytec profile system:

I made some M8/M4 connetor, to fix the profiles:
(the original connectors are too expensive..)

Wow, great job on the case so far, those are some highly detailed engravings.

Keep up the good work, I look forward to seeing more! I think this will be a very cool mod.

Your dremel work is awesome!

How did you do the LED holders (the metal thing)? And did you screw it into the plexi?

It's a printed circuit board

I fixed with a glue pistol, this glue filled the holes:

(Relevation of John, 13.??)
Engraved with Dremel 0.8 and 1.6mm

I created the masks, with aluminium and wood-style sticker (?)
It will hide the leds, I hope :-)

The smallest panel is ready :-)
A white plexi will plug in the alu slot, and the uv-reactive plexi is paralell behind this.

It was a modding-klub in Hungary. Hungarian modders make a little klub, every month and mod together :-)

I must finish this case until next weekend, because I signed in a hungarian modding exhibition:

Well freaking done! The work of professionals is always fun to watch throughout a worklog. You say this is your 3rd case project? What else have you done? Looking at this worklog I am suddenly very curious to see your other works. ...as well as the finishing of this one of course ^_^.

Good Luck, Good Work and Goodbye!

My previous casecon was the Silent Case (http://www.creativemods.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3624), I posted it at creativemods, but this mod is more difficult, I think.

Some news, I finished the front panel:

Wow nice etching work.

13 ghost scares me so much.

Nice PSU modding. I see that you have removed unessacary cables as well.

I can't believed you did that with a dremel wow! :eek:

More and more quality mods are coming out of your patch of the world.

Mec
09-05-2006, 06:04 AM
thanks. It's not a Dremel, it's a Ferm combitool. Same tool, but cheaper :-)

Etchings are inside of the case, I engraved the mirror-text :-)

Yesterday I bought a double Revoltec-UV CCFL.
Light test, with and without UV:

you should u/v paint the writing, rather than etch. then it has that extra mystery, that when the light is off, its invisible, but when its on, it appears.

Mec

Thanks all. The UV-paint is a good idea, but this engraving looks better, I think. I will try to make good photos this weekend.
Now, I finished the case. Next week I will post new photos, because the modding-competition will start tomorrow (oh, no, today :-D )
I hope, I win something :-D

Last weekend was the hungarian modding competition, the ModTechHall.
There were a lot of cool mods and cons. I won a BeQuiet DarkPower 600W PSU, from the FlashPoint Kft.
Some photos from my case:
