Agree, but also: Find a way to add leds in the acrylicQuote:

Not that the black screws look bad, they look great. They actually kind of fit in with those black rings on top and they definitely look good with matching the blocks base color. I guess you could say the same for the silver screws, but the black is the dominant color on your block and in your entire mod.
lol no wonder you asked for our opinions, it's kind of a tough choice. ^_^
Hello I am a total modding noob and totally new to TBCS.
I want to say I liked this mod so much that I signed on just to tell you how much I like it.
What an amazing case! :banana: Thanks for making my morning!
thanks for sharing your rig with us!
I'm really interested in that Thermoelectric Module, how it works and what temperature it cools at and how cold your fridge gets. Thanks for any info you can share.
Thank you all for replying. I'll go for the black screws ;)
TwistedTech @ Thank you, I don't know what to say, I'm glad you liked it :)
firestorm @ just hang in there, I'll give you all the info you want about my fridge, as soon at I got the hole monster collectet. Until then, you can read someting about the peltier here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peltier-Seebeck_effect
My costed something like $20 and has a heat different at 60degrees. Temps will come later :)

Update 29 – Light part 1 – The front @ Monday the 2nd Juli 2007.
Intro
Finally I got a new update for you. I’ve actually done a huge amount of work (Yep! Soon I’ll be able to finish it, but still need the screen!), but I just want to teaser you a little :hehe:, and give the updates some time. The last things, are always the hardest to get rid off, because you’ve been extended them hehe, and damn I had a lot of troubles while trying to fix the light in the front! But finally I was happy with the result.
I’m still thinking of how to make the light under the case look better, take a look in the end of this update.
Lets have some light:
Den sjove del
Lined up – Here’s every thing I need, except of the soldering iron.
I’ll be able to place leds all over the plate, except for here.
The LCD screen is the wrong place, and I’ll not be able to place leds here.
But let’s start soldereing, not much to show – bet you all know how-to :)
That’s it. NO pictures in completely darkness, you have to wait for them to the case is finished, and I take the final pictures :)
And last a picture of the light under the case. I don’t really think it fit the case with those light-spots under the case. (I know they aren’t completely straight, just need to adjust the leds).
But I hoped you could help me coming up with a good idea, and how I could spread out the light a little more.
Thanks.
You could either go with cathodes or make some kind of long narrow piece of plexi with LEDs on either end to light it up... similar to having fiber optic cables with lights on the ends, it lights them up. I think that it looks fine with the uneven lighting, but that's just me, lol.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
that's sooo amazing! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
What he said ;)
really amazing! but u shud drill holes through the backs of the tube holders and put leds in there too. maybe?
I love your work with the red acrylic, awesome.
xRyokenx @ A nice guy on a Danish forum told me that I could file off the top of the led, I'll try that tomorrow, and I actually think it'll might work! The plan is to fill down the "bobble" so it's plan, and how the light will wall out different! I cross my fingers, and hope it'll work! But I'll have your ideas in mind, just in case :) - Thank you
psychowit @ haha omg, ayou :D
idylan123 @ Yes sir, roger that! (stay with me dude ;))
The boy 4rm oz @ Thank you :)
No problem jegerjon.
I spent the last few hours reading up on this mod project, and it's a truly incredible piece of craftsmanship! You should be so proud of your work! I seriously can't wait to see it when it's done, especially in the dark :D Orange and black go so well together. You've inspired me to try modding my case now...
Just how many LEDs do you think you'll have in the finished thing? ;)
oh im here for ya man!
eaglepies @ Thank you bro :) I don't know, about 50 I'll bet, but if you remember how little the case is, it's pretty much :D
idylan123 @ hehe thanks dude :D
Update 30 – Light part 2 @ Friday the 6th of July 2007.
Intro
The light in the bottom looks AWESOME now!! It just have such a great effect and it’s awesome irl! ;) The idea with filing some of the leds worked out perfect!.
Beside the light in the bottom I also added some light to the tubing holders, it looks great to if you ask me ;) Now I do only need to fix the light in the back, and for this I’ve orderd some “glowwire” from America. I can’t wait to get my fingers in it. I would love to find out how it works :hehe: It’s no option to add leds in the back, it’s just milled out wrong, but the glowwire should do the job!
Well, back to this update. On the pictures the light-sources looks kinda yellow, I don’t know why, but irl. The light is ONLY orange. It looks very good :)
The funny part
Looks great! Just sad the yellow destroy the look :(
And this is how the leds looked after some filling ;)
I LOVE IT!!! I seriously love this effect, it’s just perfect in person.
Awesome (IMO) Let me hear what you think :)
sweet.
youd get loads for that if you sold it, its just so professional and clean.
Keep up the good work!
Are you planning anything else for NLM?
calumc @ It's not for sale :D
- a monitor, bass from bit-tech designed it, I make something which'll look pretty much the same way :)
- The logitech diNovo Edge keyboard
- And last a razor mouse (can't remember the name) with orange light :D
So it's going to be a nice little set.
very niceeee. all the new lightings very secksy
Hey Man i just spent the past 1-2hours reading this mod. And im turly amazed! Im a younge kid like you (15) and i was thinking of starting to mod. I was wondering what i should start on.
p.s. Fav color is ORANGE :D :D :D
This is going really well. That mesh goes really well with the mod, perfect contrast. That monitor should look fantastic when you're done with it.
EDIT: 400th post yay :)
lookin great! love your machining work!
Thank you! Really guys I'm happy that you're commentating my work. :banana:
Update 31 – The screen part 1 @ Monday the 9th July 2007.
Intro
I’m still waiting for my package with glowwire, coming all the way from usa. ;) I’m started on the screen. Thanks to bass for the sketch, for you who haven’t seen it, here it is, the ting I’m working threw:
But lets start the real update.
The funny part
But first something funny :D I want to show you the funniest thing I’ve ever done. Try to look at the rat, I’ve added two gear wheels, which make the wheel go the opposite way than the wheel. It’s really hard to run on it. But I also added pedals and a wheel from a smaller bike to make it even funnier. Hehe some funny hours I had there. Lets go seriously!
Here’s the screen we’ll work with, a 17” dell widescreen.
Without the border.
From behind, I’m going to use the small pipes sticking up, when I attack the whole thing together.
Then I cut out two slices of 3mm alu.
In my bender I did some 90degreeds corners. But kids, watch out this machine! It has a pressure at 60 tons! Maaan that’s a lot.
Done.
I’ll place them on the screen like this.
The when they are cut out, fit’s perfect.
Then I cut some more 3mm alu out, those will be used as angles and hold the hole thing together.
Drawn and ready for holes.
Like this :P
Bended and ready to use!
Here’s all the parts.
The last thing that’s left on those is some holes to hold the angels.
The screen from behind with the angels in place.
And the last thing in this update: the back plate. It’ll hold the all in place.
Damn, that’s nice. Next step is to connect the plate with the rest, and make the foot for the screen.
Next update will hopefully be in the end of the week, if I get my glowwire!
Cya guys :)
damn straight that is nice.... i really like this one a lot
This really is some amazing work you are doing and it has also given me some ideas for my own case mods. I'll be watching this one with interest, that's for sure.
Have a +rep for the brilliant work.
Wow, great metal work! + rep
all @ Thank you very much :) You comments are always welcome.
The monitor should be finished tomorrow! An awesome update will arrive there :P Also the computer it self are close to be finished, but more of that later.
Agree with above comments, that is some very fine metal working there dude!
Like everyone else... bitchen metalwork on that monitor!
Lookn great. I like the smooth metal sides.
Wow, the work on that monitor is fantastic!
agreed
Thank you all :) It does really help me modding. Lets have a update :D
Update 32 – The monitor part 2 @ Wednesday the 18th of July 2007.
Intro
Next update for the monitor is ready now! I’ve fixed everything, and the only that’s left is sanding and painting. I think it’s cool! I skipped the idea with NLM milled into the foot, but I don’t want the piece of alu there, because it looks to heavy and big. I like how I is now, and that’s how it’ll be ;)
Next update on Friday, and pictures from the final monitor :)
The funny part
Here’s the foot has been bended, the bends are like on the computer, and I think it fits good with everything else ;)
Then I used my mile to create the first part of the “holder” which’ll join the screen and the foot. It’s skew in the end, to make the monitor go back.
I should be placed like this ;)
Here’s the last part of the “holder” this will connect the other part with the screen.
It should work like this ;) It’s possible to adjust the screen, and it’s solid!
Now it’s time to think of the last details. Here I’ve milled a slice to make the cables which give the screen power and connect it to the computer, come out.
Here’s the electronic which control all the buttons (arrow up, arrow down, menu and power.
But I want to replace the buttons with those. So I found those and added some nuts.
Then I drilled holes in the for the buttons.
Adding them, that’s not bad at all ;)
And from the backside, ready to soldering ;)
Then I cut out some small plexi pieces.
….very small.
Drilled holes.
In place, ooh or not. They need to be straight before I’ll glue it :hehe: but else it’s very good.
See you guys in a couple of days, a great update with the finished monitor is waiting ;)
Monitor's lookin great, still following this mod very closely...
-Indybird
This is gonna look great when it's done.
Wowee! You never cease to amaze me
Thank you all :)
Update 33 – The monitor part 3 @ Saturday the 21st of July 2007.
Intro
Wee, the monitor is done :D I’ll just leave you with some pictures, but not completely finished, the small buttons need to be glued, and straighted out. But you’ll first see when I take the final pictures ;)
Also the case is self looks good. I’ll be able to do a lot of work on that tomorrow, so expect a update ;)
The funny part
IT’S ALIVE :hehe:
I’m so happy with the screen, it does just look so…, hmm you know just beautiful. Tomorrow another update, this time on the case it self! :D
omg this is just.... incredible.... AWESOME :eek:
+REP my first
