Project: My very first mod ever

If you check out this page at Performance-PCs you can see all the different window kits you can get. This is just one site (that I use) where you can find these.

With a kit you get an exact cut plexi piece. If you do it your self you just have to be careful but you can do whatever your crazy head desires. Totally a personal choice.

I do like exact. That is nice, I like the blue stuff :D. Although, the dimensions that I am cutting the window at, I am not completely sure. I'll take a look at it :up:.How hard do you think it would be if I were to get the right dimension of plexi, then afterwards, cut a rounded hole in the plexi and install some metal mesh and a 120 mm fan?

Shouldn't be a problem at all. BUT when you cut pelxi, it must be exact. Use a hole saw to cut the hole. I just posted how I did it to mine in my worklog. You can miss cut metal and get away with it a little. Plexi you just cant. I would recommend putting a grill on it as well if you mess up a bit. You can always use that to cover your mistakes. :D

cool ^_^, lol right now I am actually debating with myself if I should go with green instead of blue for the theme, because blue is so common, not to mention I could throw in some biohazard type stuff :D, like fan grids and what not. Because I have not really put any un-do-able mods yet. what do you think?

I would stealth the Dvd burners(or what ever they are, cant tell from pic).

Fan grills are nice.

Yeah, thats my next project :banana:, that should be fun ^_^.
Thank you! :D

GOOD NEWS!!!!
I cut the hole in the side panel today!

This bieng my first time cutting metal with a dremel I was very pleased with my effort!:banana::banana::banana::D

So.....

First I prepped...
yes Monster Assault is neccesary! lol

Then I did the cut! (which took 2 hours but, hey I didn't want to rush!)

Then I refined the edges, sanded them down with a dremel head, then filed it down the good old fashioned way! Then Voila! One Side panel!

I am so pumped! Can't wait till I get some plexi!

what do you think?!

Very nice dude. make sure its as straight as you can get it. Its the fist thing people will notice when they look at your mod. Keep going :D

Yeah, I spent about two hours making the straight cuts and the rounded edges, and then I spent an hour making sure that everything is perfectly smooth and super straight! :D. I can't wait till I can get a window kit or a nice piece of Plexi. There is a local place where I can get plexi called "Tap Plastics". Pretty good prices, Thats where I also got the polycarbonate for our schools robot for robotics team.
