The reason my last 2 projects got botched hardcore is partially because i got sick during one, but then i had to postpone both of them because of very unfortunate, and sometimes violent, altercations with my asshole roommates. I decided it was in my best interest to move in with my dear old grandmother to not only take care of her(she has MS and its difficult for her to do much these days), but also because she has a garage, 2 extra bedrooms, and a mini shop/shed out back where i can do all my heavy case work, like Dremel work and the likes.
I had to go without internet for around 2 weeks. in fact, i just got my cable modem installed a few hours ago, but being cut off from the internet gave me a lot of time to start on a real mod. I still plan to finish my portable desktop mod, but thats going to come much later. Instead, i plan on submitting a full work log for my new case mod, which has no name, because names are just pointless IMO.
Its going to be based off one of the most mundane beige boxes ive ever owned. Im still in the early stages of designing the front bezel, but i actually decided to get a vague idea of what i was gong to end up with, and bought some models to kit bash, a ton of stuff from radio shack, and just see where that takes me. i also have a load of things i just happened to have laying around. i might even get an old tranny to tear apart for some very specific pieces ill be needing.
i may need to split up the work log into sections though, cuz i have a feeling if i end up doing everything i want to do, you guys wont be seeing pics for a few months. and i know how much you all like pics ;)
