That's awesome defyant. Reeeeeally cool acrylic work, and awesome idea. I am not much of a fan of entire acrylic cases, but you make them look really interesting. Great Job!

UPDATE!

I wasn't happy with the front cdrom cover door thingy.... just looked like a foot to me...


And i didn't bother to incorp an eject button.

Had a bit of time to think about it @ work today and came up with this new door and idea for an eject button.



some one had also mentioned the PCB for the buttons looks a bit outaplace thru the plex.

A bit of black fixed this

the design for the new door~! this time i went for a "sPLAT" rather than a gOoP!

the idea this time is to attach the Green plex splat to a clear door panel which is already attached to the cdrom door.

The Custom Eject button will be a "sliding cylinder" type construction and will consist of a shaped inner shaft that runs thru a hollow shaft with the button glued to the front.

the whole assembly is then attached to the clear door panel.

lost?

the 2 main parts to the mod. an outer clear tube with a solid tube that runs inside.

the inner tube is sightly larger then the inner diamater of the inner hole. this is a good thing because it will give me a rear stopper(foot) @ the back.


Over to the bench press to take a few thou off the inner shaft.

pretty crude! but it works

You can see how the innner shaft now has a stopper @ the rear this will press up against the eject button on the cdrom.

a sexy little green button is cut!! my god this was like micro surgery!!

To take the sharpness off the button some heat is applied!

it now looks more like alil green boiled lolly!!

The clear front panel is marked and a hole is drilled for the outer cylinder.

Good old plex glue will fuse bond this together forever!

a qik test! all is good.

Next is to glue on the button

[Defyant]

The whole unit is attached back to the CDROM.

the front splatt theme cover is glued on

and finally! a finger test!! i love it when things just work!

Well since i was modding along now!....... i thought that i would glue on the side splatt.

[Defyant]

just little things! that were "erking" me... theres still a few things to do...i need to get a new side panel cut. orig was lost.


and im keen to add a green LCD to the front as well.


But i think you will agree its lookin better with each bit of etra work

Everything looks really good.

quick question: Is that sharp edge on the Splat (not gOop) a danger to someone wrist (its the only sharp point I see in this mod)?
