Also, for the drive bays, you could take a piece of plexi and heat it up and bend it to the shape of the front (if it is rounded), and then make your own stealthed looking drive covers and covers for the places without drives. I saw it on a bondo guide by Defyant (but they weren't used as drive bay covers I think, but they might have been) but you could paint them and it would look really cool.
Omega, you want to have a nice clean bezel and hidden lights and things, what about touch buttons that are under the bezel or top, not sure how you would do it but would be cool
It would be, but I don't know if I have enough electronics skill to make touch-sensitive buttons. I've got the perfect place for LED's, though...Quote:

Aaanywho, the window should be finished up today. I think I'll go ahead and finish it up right now~!
I can hear the riots already...
"GIVE US PICS! GIVE US PICS!"
I finished the window, and the masking tape is off. now i need plexi and mounting bolts.
Sorry about no pics, but I couldn't find my camera until just now, I will have pictures tomorrow when my mom isn't home (she doesn't like modding...)
EDIT: Something's up with the actaul computer. It was running very hot under idle load, then it shut off. Hmm.
Good thing it's expendable, but I'm still going to investigate. Just because I don't need it doesn't mean I don't want it.
In other words, my mom saw the file-box it was in. She was like
"Hey, that's my file box"
"Look in it, mom."
*blank stare*
It was AWESOME.
You heard correctly:)Quote:

anywho, enjoy.
Using what's at hand, I have quite a bit of mesh-type stuff (from a server rack, if you wish to know.). If I can find some bolts, I'll probably use this stuff. It's nifty.
Now I need to really consider a paintjob. I know colors, but I gotta think of wether or not I want to tear down the case to get everything painted or what. I know a guy who might be willing to paint it, but I wouldn't count on it (sadly).
I was thinking black with silver detailing.
I should also think of something to do with that PSU. Maybe put in anther fan and mesh it up...
Ideas and suggestions always welcome.
Sad to announce that this is no longer a TBCS exclusive.
It's found it's way to Pixel-Team and Accelerated-E.
I have acquired 100$ which will be spent on various modding materials.
Lucky. I wish I had $100 for modding materials. Also, the window is looking nice, I like the shape. Dark Blue/Black/Silver would look great too... silver would contrast nicely with the other 2. You said something about bondo. Are you still going to use bondo, and if so, on what? To cover up the empty power button holes and such on the front since you're hiding those? Thats what I would do. Mesh drive covers are a good idea too. So is an Iron Maiden album ;) . Lookin' good so far, can't wait for updates.Quote:
