Hello, in relevance to my case

http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7242

A few people I have talked to said if I stack 2 basic ATX cases on top of each other and then Plaster of Paris around the cases, to make it into the Atlantean Control panel case design. It would be a good idea. Then i can fiberglass over it.

However I then do not know how I would go about getting the cases out; and make it a bit more hollow; for enough room to place computer parts and maybe some optional extras like water cooling.

What are your thoughts on this?

I would think plaster of paris is too fragile and would crack easily. I also don't think it would be too easy to work with.
What about using car filler instead? It's worked well on a lot of case mods.

Bucko is right. For putting two cases together you should use bondo. Plaster of Paris is like chalky glass when it dries. I doubt you want your case to be made of glass when you are done.

Hey thanks

No; I thought of molding around the 2 cases; onto what I want and fiberglass it.

Thanks alot will look into it hopefully today
