The scratched part is were I yanked my finger away and ripped the skin. Trust me when I say it was oozing. Ive never bleed like that before.
(I cant believe Im filling my work log with junk :neutral: .)
I woulda cussed for a couple minutes, cleaned it up and wrapped it up with something then got back to it :D
not sure how bad this would look, but how about a little chalk board there instead of an lcd screen? or maybe a printed picture of your favorite map in the game? ...
Well Iv ordered A few parts that should be in this week.
The first parts I ordered was an on/off key to disable the remote start and the on/off switch on the case. This way I can keep tabs on everyone 8) .
I also ordered some switches for the on/off and reset.

Hey where did you get that ignition? Im making a Car-themed case mod and need a car-like ignition...
-Indybird
Key Start/Arm
Theres the link. They have all different kinds to chose from, just scroll down and you will see them. They are cheap to, just be careful of the $7 shipping. :D
That key lock/switch is pretty cool i may include it in my first mod :)
Ok, I have some real updates for everyone. I got a good hour of work into this case today.
I re-cut the angled aluminum for the top plate support. The edges almost line-up but its good enoughh for government work 8) .
I also made the top plate for the case. That was probably the easiest part of all so far. My measurements were nearly dead on and I didn't screw up with the dremel once. :) I still have to trim the back plate to be flush with the top and I also have to drill the holes for the screws to secure the top.
Closer Look- Front
Back
I also took a pic with the door next to the case so you can get the idea of what it will look like.
I also bought a new toy today. I got the cut-off wheels EZ-Lock kit. Let me tell you, I will never go back to the old discs. Not only does it take 2 seconds to put on a new wheel, but they last alot longer as well. Im talking 3-4 times loger.
Well thanks for looking at my mod, I plan on attaching the front and raer doors tomorrow so dont stray far ;) .
-danthegeek
Pretty Sweet, keep it up
+rep
Well I have some good news, Im done the back panel.
I cut out the holes using my dremel and then threw on some red primer and flat black.
I then cut out the holes for all of the fan and Power Supply. (Tip: dont paint then drill holes, just creates more work :) ) Now I have to hit it with another cote of paint and some sandpaper.
Heres a pic with the top on and I still need to drill holes and mount this.
I decided to throw in some goodies so you can get the idea of how this is going together.
I also put some-more bondo on the front panel, I need to hit it with some sandpaper and the dremel.
I picked-up some hinges for the doors today. I think they are for gates so they should holdup well and they also seem to hollow the lines of the case.
Thanks for viewing and comments welcome, good or bad :)
-danthegeek
You did a great job cutting that out, thats one perfect circle!
I like the idea of the power supply off to the side!
I mean there always at the top and the fans usually on the top. .ya kno.
:up: :up:
Thanx, Yah the Power supply location is the only place it would fit in the case. Also sence the P.S. will have a 120mm fan on the bottom (side now), it will pull all of the hot air from the video Cards. 8)
lookin' good
them thar is some nice clean dremel cuts. +rep...damn I love this mod!
Cool mod man, I love BF2.
How did you do those rivets?
Also, how are you so good at sketchup?
And a follow-up, how did you make everything semi-transparent in sketchup?
I'm curious ',:|
I think you picked a very fitting structure to mod a BF2 theme in, lovin it so far man!
Wow that flat military green looks bad ass man, and that tan color your using is the same color im doin my case. Awesome mod, ill be keepn my eye on this until its done! so take your time ;)
Thanks for the comments everyone. I got a little bit of work done yesterday but I have to go to work soon so Ill post an update tonight or tomorrows.
Ookazoo- The rivets are just the biggest pop-rivets I could find at my local hardware store. Im not sure as the size because I have sense thrown away the packaging but When I get somemore Ill let you know. With sketchup..., well I would say Im that good but just practice with it. The hardest thing for me is the switch from AUTOCAD. Sketchup seems to be a little more deifficult at making it do what you want and to make everything semitransparent click "View", "face style", then "X-ray." under the menu bar.
Thanks again everyone.
-danthegeek
Edit-
Well I decided to throw in an update anyways :)
I worked on cutting out the design for the top plate. Behind the star and 4 rectangular holes will be frosted plexi, either red or white, but im not sure yet.
I didnt finish cutting the holes because I got distracted. It turns out the star can be used as a weapon. Ninja Star TIME. (yes I did actually throw it from about 10 feet away.)
I also came up with this design for the HD cage.
I got the aluminum bent for the supports and ley me just say, bending 1/8 inch thick aluminum is not easy task by hand. I had to do both at the same time so I would get the bends right.
I still have to cut out the angled pieces for the bottom and the drill holes for the mounting screws for the HDs and the case.
thanks again.
-danthegeek
wow that top plate is going to look sweet with some plex behind it. [frosted or not]
**gets hit in the eye with ninja star** ouch!
all i can picture is the south park episode where butters gets blasted in the eye with one of those suckers.
best southpark everQuote:

Yes you do. Ive had it 7 or 8 years now.
I enjoy looking at your work log, you have something interesting to look at every time, good work.
Well another Update.
I finished the cut out of the top plate. The only thing is I screwed up but no worries. I think I will use thin red plexi for the stripes that go trough the center of the rectangles. It should look good, maybe enven better :rolleyes: .
I also finished the HD cage. I decided to go with 2 instead of 3 sense thats all I will need for a raid 0.
And some paint.
I will try to update again tomorrow but its finals week at college :dead: . Dont be suprised if I disapear for a few days.
-danthegeek
Just checked the mod for the first time, and it's looking awesome, sketching things out makes life easier!
Looking forward to more updates, you're almost done!
Well everyone, modding is on hold for a few days. I hurt my back earlier today and Im in bed now, all I did was bend down and BOOM. Shooting pains, I fell to the floor and couldnt move or breath and my father didnt know what was wrong, as I couldnt talk. I laid there, my father had to pick me up and put me on the couch. Yes I did cry, first time in a few years, but that was by far the worst pain I have every experienced in my life. Im on some godly (yes, godly, they are that good) pain killers now so I can move around.
Anyways I should get back to this in a few days
-danthegeek.
EDIT-
I almost forgot to tell everyone about my new toys. Today my dad went to a military show and picked me up a couple of ammo boxes. I dont have a pic of the big one as its not cleaned-up yet but, its about twice as tall as this one.
Thus should make for a cool HTPC.
A micro atx motherboard and power supply fit perfectly.
And a pic to show you the size. The frame behind it is a micro atx case and my everyday pc behind that is a mid-tower
I shall start another worklog for this one soon. It should only tajke me a few days to complete.
-danthegeek
Ahhh sorry to hear man, I hope it all gets better and you don't have some sort of thing that would be found on the show "House".
Looking forward to your return, the project is as godly as those meds.
This mod still moving?

sorry to hear about the back, hope you get better soon to finish this case..... I NeEEDS mY FIX! lol :D
oh yea, what kind of engine you got in that camaro :D
ok, ok. I have no updates due to life taking over. I will hopefully start again sunday. Sorry for the delay.
Nah It's cewl bro, we just love your mod and we are over eager to see it again!!!
Apparrently, I have some catching up to do with this mod. Looks great though! Esp the custom made weapon. +rep
