Project: Black and White p160

This seems to have opened up a can of worms?

Obviously Smokin Pig knows best as it is he who has the mesh.......

BUT it looks suspiciously like expanded pattern metal(XPM) to me

not interlocked wire (especially the white fan grill close up). It is also know as expanded metal and whole load of other names

Simply it is produced but cutting slots in a sheet of metal and pulling it apart in tangentially (ie at 90 deg or so ) to the direction of the slot cuts:

If it was interwoven wire it may come apart as it is cut (if the ends are not connected or the wires welded where they touch other wires).

:? Anyway what do I know :? I am not the one fitting it to my computer.

And Smoking Pig this mod is looking real fine, keep it up, I like this project, clean and simple lines, very sophisticated. I like.

You can find that mesh at any lowes or Home depot. it is gutter helmut type material.

Great Idea by the way!

thnx for all that

Intrance its that type of mesh. I dont really know anything about how they make it so out ofthe wire one and the preferated one i thought it must be wire.

but this pic.the mesh looks exactly the same as mine.

Anyways. I got around to painting the etch and starting to make the bit where all the power buttons and such will go cause i thought the stock bit looked ugly.

I bent the perspex with my oven/a jet lighter.

Excuse the bad photos, Im not too good with the camera and its hard to take photos of such reflective surfaces.

wow, sry i ever doubted u, that acrylic look AWESOME with the black paint behind it

Ty vm ^^

Ok! tomorrow ima drill the perspex for the top part of the case i re-made,painted the white logo onto the black right side and get some leds and maybe cathodes for the inside lighting!

Ok i havent really done much in the last few days, but! i managed to **** up the black and white logo i was painting onto the side.

As you can see i didnt quite mask it off properly. I think im going to try painting the whole panel white,cutting the letters out onto some clear contact paper sticking them on and painting the panel black.


advice?

hmmmm...:think:

Roll with it. I say the little over-spray gives it a unique look. Almost looks like you intended to do it and if someone asks, tell them you did. However, it is your mod and it should grow into the creation you have in your mind.

Never quite and never become satisfied; by doing so only destroys your dreams.

Anyways.. I think its looking good +rep.

Yeah i think a lil overspray around the letters looks cool but that big patch on the left looks like **** ><
