You guys are awsome :up: TY all so much for the great replys :)

Updates will slow for now soz, Just a few hours each sunday to spare.

Also looking forward to spending time soon catching and posting in all your worklogs aswell :)


A quicky update.

Pretty keen to get internals underway. I had a bunch of offcut white plex hanging around and decided it would be good enuf a choice to do a demo of this color and see if it's to my likings. I've never thought of white as a suitable inside color for my mods, but with the split view illusion, white just might work! Either way it's good to do a mock up and see if the whole section split will work.

The next few shots show the placement of the internal hardware.


Mainboard will be a small form factor and be mounted on the floor of the case.

CDROM will be flush mounted @ the front so the cd will eject upward thru the roof of the case

HDD will be nicely tucked away in the frame section @ the fron of the case behind a dummy panel.

To get streight lines i'm scoring the plex with a stanley knife then snapping it over some alloy angle. I'ts not 100% but with a ruff block sand its pretty close.

This is only to get a "looksee" and is not final. So no need to show all the heat and bending bits.



The new box section will add some structural strenght back into the case once the top sections are cut from the f rame for the wrap over window.

As y'all can see the MB will sit below

The section you see now will have a 7" LCD mounted into the sloped back part.

The smaller window below will have a back lit logo or allow View to the MB area.

The white plexi suits it very well mate. Component layout also looks great. Love how you are gonna hide the HDD. I can really see where this is going. A very good mod so far.

wow i like this mod

the Stealth hdd looks sweet but may get hot so watch out but im sure you know what ur doing

I have a feeling it fits snugly enough in the 'L' channel for the frame to act as a heatsink for the HDD.

I got to agree with the boy 4rm oz--I'm sure it will act as a heatsink. My question is this: you gonna shroud the mobo?

yea didnt think of that good work now as long as the alumini doesnt heat up ur right :) nice work

All the alu pieces are joined so the heat will disperse. Plus the air movement in and around the case, it should be fine.

Yes! defayants back!, your mods are my favorite hands down, i'm watching this to see how it turns out
