I'll do my best but the problem at the momment I'm waiting for some parts to arrive which could last until the end of the month...

I've made a little overview in the startpost.

Little package arrieved

Screws and a little piece of sleeve

What I do at the momment, yeah I'm planing my next steps :D

I've been quietly watching this mod, and I have to say, excellent work thus far. +rep

yeah man. looking sweet

Helloooo :D

sketches and patterns :)

Today my piece of Plexigals came for the frame.

nicely labeled :P
lol

Today I've startet the back.
Cutting out the holes for the 80mm fans and the PSU.

the fiuling work will be done the next time :whistler:

Just came home and wanted to shoot some pics. Well here they are and its about 4 am so im going to bed now ;) good night

loooking good mate. loving the project

thanks mate

I persent you 15 pics today ^^

filing filing filing ^^

the psu fits in its hole as it should :D

more filing..

and now the psu together with its aperture

then i tried to get the plexi clear

starting with 600 sandingpaper

didnt work really good

then i tried dremel polishing compound

didnt work again, on low speed the plexi still melt

toothpaste

better but not good, ill need to look for something else

and painted some screws to see how much the paint can resist.

as far as polishing the plexi you need to start with the 600 grit sand paper then go to 800 then 1000 then 1500 then 2000 then rubbing compound with a soft rag and some elbow grease then polishing compound the same way just think of it as wet sanding clear coat on paint

Livesign... *pling*

You got it to boot with a paper SSD and two cardboard HDD's and take a windows install - woah man, that's seriously cool!!!! :D

As for the polishing, raistnox hit the nail on the head - sand it with finer grits and then hand polish with the compounds.

If you don't need a perfect finish, there's one cheat.... put a coating of superglue on the sanded surface - it gets pretty close to clean. The other option is flame polishing but I can't talk about that from an educated standpoint - I bought a real cheap blowtorch and it wouldnt stay lit long enough to actually achieve anything lol

big package

but first a little funny thing i made :D (fehlt=misses)

back to the package
Viiiel Papier drinne

mjam :D

the things i need ^^

moded the first parts of

still got things to do until its how i want it

Hihihi :D I thought it could be a good idea to translate what I want to tell you so have fun :P (Those who don't want to have fun can read the more or less good translation of myself. :D)


If one has started then the Traygerät to modden. (I startet to mod the Traything)

Hihi great profile has the makings there leave(Funny pattern :))

The coarse form (I think this could be the only scentence thats OK)

Then there came the well-tried venal chair (aka Wacken 09 chairs) (I took out my old filing-chair (or Wacken 09 Chair))

Mhm then kan what I had feared. the part is to high (is even higher alsn ATX Mobo)(yeah the problem is that the Tray is too high)

And because me whole did not like anyhow in such a way, I have simply drilled out ma the rivets and have rescued the most important one. (I drilled out the rivets too get the most important part)

Here one also sees this the Tray with the rear part at 3 places linkedly is. will come along vlt. tomorrow in it according to lust and laune. (there you can see wehre the tray is connected to the back. maybe I'll do that tomorrow)

Well umsonstgefeilt. Aer polish all the same, nevertheless, gives riesen pleasure xD(Well filing was for nothing.. but i love filing so why not for nothign xD)

i love haribo man those things are awesome i just cant get them anymore...:( i miss living in germany

Yeah I'm happing living here :D
