Hi everyone This was my Coppermine D-Top which will be an AM2 system when I'm done.
The Coppermine is going to be another mod for my daughter as soon as im done this one.
Ive been planning this modd for 2 months and have definites as to major details so i decided to start while i do 3d entry for the details.

I need a new name for the project so any suggestions would be appreciated.

None the less........

I could not find a pic of the original unmodded case but here is a model that has lights on it were mine had nothing in that space.

Inside the box…
• A turbine jet styled CPU cooler.
• A fan cooled RAM cooler on 1 chip w/ passive heat spreaders on the other 2 chips.
• A rounded IDE cable w/neon green light up cable twisted around it.
• I did a quick switch to my Vid heat sync and fan.
• A sound sensitive neon green strobe light.

Ya so the patch over the dent on the right side panel is going to be cut out and turned into a back side vent.

Will this mod have anything to do with your revolution in case design? Or will your Haxx Revolution have any influence in this mod?

[haxx]

yes silenced as a matter of fact the face plate to this case will also serv as a mold for the plexi dual sided face for the BIG shiz.


P.S.

You CARE you really care

lmfao

I didnt think that had caught any attention yet so had decided to wait on updating it.
Thnx 4 da intrest Silenced_coyote




I started to grind down the body fill on the faceplate today

Yup, saw your other thread which really caught my interest. Then one day I bumped into this thread. So I am following both now. I can't wait to see some more updates!

OK Bondo is BAD for the lungs. I will definitly not be using as much in ANY future mods.

But here's a pic of the built up bondo on the faceplate and a few cuts at it with a dremel and cut off disks.

and when I have ground most of the Bondo off the top of my output

I have just made a make shift paint booth with clear plastik garbage bags in my shed.

At some point im going to build a collapsable table top booth out of plexi with work gloves like a chemist would use.

So my chassis is going to get a new paint job. I did put chrome on it the last time i modded it know im going for a mirror image blue chrome with MANY coats of liquid glass.

You might want to consider investing in a good respirator if you are going to be doing bondo work. The fumes are very dangerous, and so is it's dust. You don't want to mess with that kind of stuff, that's the kind of thing that takes years off of your life. Trust me, I would know - I'm not even 15 yet and I sound like a 50 year old smoker when I cough. I probably have taken a few years off my life just by doing bondo work and spraypainting without a respirator.

[haxx]

Yup Bondo is really bad for you. I have worked in an auto body shop for 3 yr off and on but if your workin with bondo you will probably be painting as well. If your painting you should be needing a paint booth. One with a good filtered air intake and outputs.

If thats the case work on the booth design and get 2 booths goingwork on the bondo from in the secondry booth

the holes in the upper half. cut into the plexi are to duct tape a pairs of industrial gloves to stick your hands in.

Wow 8 layers of chrome paint and 4 coats liquid glass.

I would have been there for a week with sand paper. Furniture stripper now that will save some time.

Did it ever.

The old paint had to come off the Chassis for the new Blue Chrome paint to go on.

Liquid furniture stripper worked really well. With paper towel I layered on the stripper and watched it bubble. Use alot it works really well use a little and youll spend the week scrapping anyway.
Whipe the gunk off about 1/2 hour after pouring it on with a paint thinner soaked paper towel and it will come off looking like it was never painted.

tommorow i start painting in my makeshift paint booth.

[tybrenis]

This is my home-built paint booth:

So from the look of the pic you dont seem to have any plexi covering it to make a sealed enviroment. Do you not wind up with specs of air born dust into your paint??????

Perhaps you removed the plexi.

Perhaps you have figured a different way around the problem.

If so cool plz post.

If not may i say that where I have worked in more than 1 auto body shops i have learned that the booths to put a car in have incredibly strong exhaust fans , an air sealed door, and an air filter on the only air intake.

thus the car gets nothing but beautiful clean paint.

They are also typicaly heated with radian dry air heaters.

Know if you were to take a chemists booth and incorporate the glove design (http://members.accesswave.ca/~haxx/isolator.jpg) to a pane of plexi that covers the two open walls on you booth and though in a small heater with a digital themperature control you would have a perfectly controlable enviroment.

such beautiful paint jobs can be easily achieved by anyone with patients to wait days for single coats of paint to bake away after setting this up.

As an added bonus you would never need a respirator to paint and never have to ruin clothes.

[tybrenis]

The environment is not sealed, but it has a very powerful fan and it works fairly well removing the paint from the room. However, I enventually will be building a larger booth that will actually be a sealed room.

I think the design using the gloves is a bad idea. It will limit your capabilities and movement a whole lot. Maybe not if you are just using a can of spray paint or spray gun, but I do a lot of airbrush and detail work, so forget about using the glove design.

The only time I've ever seen the gloves used like that is in sandblasting booths.

[haxx]

Good point about the detailing however reading your post i ??think?? maybe if you put a carousel in the box and a small windows on hinges between the glove holes and you would still be able to open the window and paint unhindered and the small space for air flow would still cause a good suction.

But neway you make a good point about the detailed work and we all do this stuff in our own way to our own liking.

thats whats great about the modding comunity.;)

OK the face plate is getting close.
