Oh, is that a challenge? :banana:

If it wasn't a challenge coming from The boy 4rm oz - it certainly is from me.
I eagerly await your next project mate - you haven't stopped impressing me yet.
man i need a new keyboard, im going to have to take out insurance for drool cover when i view your mods
Freaking amazing! Just speechless here. Damn!
Make that a triple dog dare. Though I still do love motorized madness, so I think you have to top that one too.
I would double dog dare you but then it means I need to do it first. I have neither the time, money, skills or resources to make a mod to top Dark Carbon ATM lol.
its not a challenge its an order
I have a sad! All that know about working with CF I have gleaned from this log. Now it's done. The teacher has left and the student remains.

Don't worry, Dan has jsut srawled back into his mod cave to think up his next awesome mod lol.
If you guys see some serious and blatant copying coming up in my project log on Bit-Tech (http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=159236 ),
I want it understood that I have nothing but props for Dan. The level of explanation and the quality photos have much inspired me.
So, I won Mod of the Month on Bit-Tech, I'm still scared silly about cutting the CF panels from Langer.
Dan had a pic of a Dremel bit he used for cutting the PCI slots. I took the picture around and it doesn't exist in Colorado north of I-70. Lowes, Home Depot, looks to be similar to a slotting saw for metal work.
NADA.

Which pic with the bit? Maybe someone here can help you find one. BTW- Congrats on MOTM!
Um, Not sure why you can't find it. Its a dremel bit. I'll try and find the number for you.
Here you go. Its a High speed cutter # 199.

I'm pretty sure I got it from my Local Lowes.
But if you can't find it, Here is one place that sells them.

I just did a google.
I found the tiny little bit at WallyWorld of all places. Now I have the tools set up I just need the guts to start cutting.
Thanks guys
john
You can do what I did to cut your panels out John.
Put a jigsaw upside down in a vice/mastercraft clamping workbench (you know the one).
Pop in a cheapo generic metal blade.
Use the shifty assembly like a beefy scroll saw - I cut most of my carbon like this I'd recommend it.
I gotta change my pants :eek:
Congrats Dan for winning Week 1 in the Extremetech Case Mod Contest! :D

Woot, finally took a trip through your worklog at long last :D.
Kept meaning to properly look through this log & finally got to look through this beauty, real nice case Dan.
Love that red annodise paint stuff going to see if I can get any of that, goes awesome with the jaw dropping carbon fibre, really nicely built, the hdd windows rock, I know I'm missing many cool things to comment on, but WOW in 100 foot capitals :D.
Hmmm, the keyboard is 1 if not the best keyboard I have ever seen.
Ultra crazy cool mod Dan, you really went to town at making this ultra bada$$ :D +rep 100 times lol :D.
