A quick template for the back fan duct.
Hopefully I can get some sheet metal tomorrow and do the cutting for it.
All the LEDs and stuff should be here within the next week. I will have almost everything else done on the case by then except the model panels which I will be ordering very soon I hope.
Side panel cable is on now.
I'm cutting the back fan duct tomorrow.
lookin good !!! (reminds me of thegreatsatans' matrix case...)
So I found a bundle of UV green cable sleeve and a thing of Green EL wire that is sound sensitive :o I guess I didn't need to order those parts in... Could have saved myself $30 but oh well.
Once I get the other EL wire and LEDs I can finish up most of this mod. Here is my list of things to do.
- Resleeve all cables
- Make rear fan duct
- Run the rest of the EL wire through a cable coming off the fan duct
- Wire and position LEDs
- Mount Borg cube panels when I get them
- Do detailed painting
If I feel like it I will do a motorize side panel door. But I would have to do a lot of research to get that to work ;)
So last night while talking to a friend on MSN we came up with a great idea. A borg control panel made out of plexi, mounted to the front of the case. I would have a white CCFL behind, and one of the buttons would be the power switch.
Here is the control panel I am talking about:
That would be mounted right here:
I would have to round the plexiglass, and have parts of it blacked out.
:)
Border around the control panel... made out of cardboard.
Now what do I make it out of :?? I was thinking some sort of plastic but I dunno :dead: Anyone got any idea?
You could take your cardboard mockup and fiberglass it, or you could use a whole bunch of bondo.
This is coming together nicely, +rep!
I have it on good authority that polystyrene is a good material for shaping, it would be ideal for making that border. I am going to order some out of the website Eclecticos listed in the modders supply thread in the chatterbox, it's actually reasonably priced.
I found a lot of this stuff in the shop. Have no idea what it is used for but nobody said they needed it so its mine :rolleyes:
I'm going to give it a shot for that front part. This + Bondo should work. I hope :D
That'll work. Shape it, and bondo over it. This is looking really good. + rep.Quote:
