Done shaping it. First time I have ever done this and it looks pretty good.
I won't ever do this again in my room... damned stuff makes a mess. Anyways, I will bondo it later tonight.
Next question. How am I going to secure this to the case? Shoulda been thinking of that from the start lol. I think an epoxy of somesort would work but I am not sure.
I just thought of a great idea for the front panel. Rather than get all fancy with trying to recreate the Borg control panel buttons, I took these:
Cut them up... and poof! This is what I got:
That worked really really well and saves me a lot of time.
Old keyboards are so useful :)
A couple ways should work--super glue or hot glue, then bondo, and seal the edges up with the bondo.Quote:

This is gonna be a killer mod once you're done with it. +rep as soon as I can.
wow, cookies n milk you read my mind. i was thinking of incorporating an old gutted keyboard with a window mod :D you beat me to it
nice shaping for your first time. looking forward to seeing more of your work in the future, keep it coming bro!
:D
Just gonna wait for the super bright LEDs before I mount that. I am going to have two of the dimmer LEDs always on in that and then two super brights will flash as hard drive indicators. Should be a neat effect. Other than that I will put a fancy LED bulgin switch on there for the power button, and paint it :D
That is such a great idea with the keyboards! +rep.
I may even steal that idea for a mod later.
And to think I was going to throw those keyboards out! It turned out so well that I think I will be using this idea again xDQuote:

I messed up and the plexi cracked while I was drilling a hole for the power switch. Any way I can fix that? Or do I need to the the plexi out of there, shape a new one and bondo it in?
