    Default Feet and Lighting

    I made some feet for the HDD cages. I glued them on. I hope they hold if not I will have to use a different acrylic glue.


    Now lighting.... Firstly, here is what it looks like.

    I wrapped the Orange SMD LED strip around the orange piece of plexi.


    And here is the effect




    You can see how the pieces that stick out don't have any light going through them... How can I fix this? Also the inner side of both windows have no light. I might have to shave off enough of each window piece that I can wedge the LED strips between them so I can get the lighting. But I still have the same problem, no light on the 3 pieces that jut out.

    Thoughts??

    As far as I can figure, you would need to insert the led through a hole in the back of the panel. Looks good though! Good luck getting it done in time!

    maybe cut a channel around the inner perimeter of the window to lay the LED strip into. That way it'd have a shorter distance to the parts that stick out.

    I think you mean what I said but you said it in a different way ^^

    Someone on bit-tech suggested I cut a strip wide enough to fit the led strip into the extended pieces. I may do that tonight.

    Default Sanding and more

    Here are the pictures of the PSU shroud I promised.





    I got a 200mm fan to exhaust the HDD side of the case.


    Hole drawn for cutting


    Cut and sanded


    Add a Modders Mesh fan grill


    And the fan



    Here are a few more pics of the lighting.








    I've been sanding for probably 20 hours to get everything nice and smooth.









    Now to get light to pass through the hexagons that are extended I had to cut a strip in the back so I could put the LEDs in there.


    I took the LED strip and a piece of scrap plexi.


    Wedged them in to the slot I cut


    And voila! Works perfectly.


    I'm working on the mobo side panel now


    Here is the orange layer for the main mobo side window


    And finally I'm starting to attach things to the back plate.


    I'm trying really really hard to finish before tonight.

    Cheers till next time.

    So here is the final working update for the New Mod City Showdown Competition. The case is done but I still have work to do on the inside so stay tuned for that. I'm sorry that its small but due to the deadline I didn't take many pictures today.

    Here are the small windows. I glued the clear piece of acrylic to the orange.




    Then attached the Orange SMD LED strips


    And attached those pieces to the case and wired them up.

    Here is the Media Card Reader all painted and cut up. Its about 1/3 its original length.


    And just one last picture of the case all stripped while I was working on the panels


    I'll post the pictures of the case in the next update.
