... i bought some black spray cans, and the protective masks ;), not to OD on spray hihi... i also downloaded lots of pics of dragons (yeah, dragons). I'll buy some bondo and try to make my front panel better :) all in a days work, tomorrow, instead of going to a very important exam :)
..today i bought more bondo, some primer(finally found some) and sandpaper. Still, i'm not sure what to do next. A, i did flunk that maths exam :)
:D..long time, but i have some kind of progrees done: i bought a dremel! i've started developing my skills by cutting stuff from around:) and i reallt like the engraving/etching potential the tool offers :) also, i bought a new mouse (x-710, cheaper than other of its kind, but i do give it an A+) and a lil' chipset fan. I plan on modding them together with some lighting and a smallish switch (which will replace a button i don't like on the side...)
I'm doing some stuff now and taking pics.. i have a free weekend and i hope i can dedicate it completelly to modding my case.. i did run into a bit of badluck.. one of my cathodes died.. in pieces.. i don know if anyone else experienced this, but the darn thing broke insinde of its protective tube... :? :mad:
i'm making 2 blowholes for 2x80mm led fans or AC3 fans (forced by the case and psu to go this way, although 1x92mm could have fitted as well), 1 120mm exhaust and a hole in the psu cover.. everything will be then brushed/sanded, primed and painted metal-black... i've done 1 hole in the top, cut the psu cover, started to prime it.. now i'm doin the 120mm exhaust...
see you all later :)
Well.. i love paint fumes.. after 3 coats of primer, i've laid 2 of black... :) my hands are dirty as hell, i'm a bit tired of the noise (dremeling and hammering) and i feel a rush of adrenalin knowing that if the administrator finds me, i might get expelled :lol:
...
Hooray! I have 2 functional 80mm holes and the Harddrive bays is painted. So is the PSU cover.. I wanna add some mesh next.. Pics will be posted as soon as i finish :) and i intend to post them from my working PC.
I'm restless.. while the paint dries (not on my hands)....I did assemble my pc on the window... And i am writing on it right now :)
Back to the mod: I bondoed another layer on the front and i'm waitin for it do harden as well :) I also painted black some grills i will be using and i need to buy 2 more 80mm grills and one 120 mm grill and fan :D things are shaping up pretty well.. and the fact that i'm almost alone in the room helps :)
I went to about 6 cutting discs today and i have to buy another tomorrow :)
I also started modding some pcs in the room, while the owners are away :D A nifty lil fan on a vdo card, a side panel window on another.. practice is nice.. Ah, and i'm modding a phone!!! Paint job style :)
Pics will be up in 15mins.. i have to install the phone software...
for some reason, i couldn't post till now.. hmm.. 15 minutes )
so, here are the pics, although i'm still workin and i'm waitin for some parts:
case open, stuff laid on the bed
case empty, drawing cuts
old psu...
this panel is black, but it is covered in dust
PSU opened...
PSU cover cut..
i also cut the small vents facing the inside of the case... ugly job.. better airflow, i hope..
i cut the fan grill from the psu.. sorry for jerky blurry picture..
i love this ram-sinks
first hole cut..
back exhaust fan positioned for thinkin..
a small cut plus a bit of hammer action.. blurry again..
test fit of a small fan..
psu cover primed, but not on the inside.. i'm making a few economies, i need to prime the entire case..
two holes cut and a test fit.. dual fans plus grill..
blurry.. but there is another layer of bondo...
and bondo spells: breathing-mask helps me, but the room...
psu and mesh painted black..
i was getting bored of the metallic noises so i decided to put the pc back:
and here it is .. workin gud
a pick of painted grills..
but lots of nuts and bolts stayed on my bed.. no case, no bolts
