I have been planning this mod for a few months, and I finally started.
I am already about half-way with the mod, so I will post a few pics to get you up-to-date.
I'm not going to give all the descriptions for the pictures. it's not necessary.
Starting on the actual construction.
Cutting fan holes in the front bezel. 1st one with my dremel, but it takes too long and uses too much discs. Then I took out the jigsaw.
I smoothed out the edges with a grinder and a file:
The back panel. I love tis part. looks so clean.
Front panel and top panel cleaned and sanded:
Motherboard tray:
My logo. I'll use this in a mouse-pad I'm going to be making.
These grills will be CNC cut and fitted on top of the panels. th front bezel comes on the front, and well, the top grill on the top!
I closed up the sides of the front "extension" so that it looks more like an unit. It will be painted black.
Stay tuned for the next update!
