Ok, awhile ago I made this. It was the first time I have ever made a "custom pc". Actually, I think it is the first true mod I have ever done. So go easy ;) . I made it and brought it to school for an English speech on the hobby of computer modding(yes I talked about the Doom 3 mod). It was also the first time I ever used a Dremal on metal, hence the not so pretty cuts. But I think it turned out pretty well for a first mod. Anyway here are the pics:

Over all view of the "case":

The front metal thing... or whatever you want to call it is actually the on/off button, tap the lower left spike (the bigger one) to turn the PC on and off.

Heres the back, it was a challenge cutting out the wholes, not bad though considering I had never used a Dremal before, although they could be better.

And by far my favorite, the side fan (dremals are hard for cutting circles, as I quickly learned):

lol, that really about it. I made it a few months ago, basically as "cannon fodder", away to practice, but I'm working on another mod now, but this was fun, I learned ALOT while building it. It looks simple because it is, but its great when people are like "wtf? thats a computer?!".


And yes, the front metal thing broke off and is being held on temporarily with the most usefull item known to man....duct tape, thats what you see in one of the pics behind it. Which is also the reason its alittle lop-sided.

lol, not much in there, see the mobo is fried, really just to show how the holes match up, and I hot wired the PSU to get the lights working, but I'll get some pics tomarrow.

that is pretty cool for a first mod. most people put in a window and exchange the fan's and say" that is such a good mod" good first try

Did you have any trouble mounting the hardware inside?
Coz the box doesn't seem to have any holes or screws through it.
Again, nice work.

Great job on your first mod! You now have a convenient place to put your PC tools so the next time it breaks down you can fix it on the spot! ;)

lol thats funny dude


And a great idea. Make it so when you open it there is a removeable tray that will hold screwdrivers/screws/extra cables/etc, and make it so the tray stays in place (via screws or something) but you can take it off to work in the computer.
