Well I just got back from photographing a wedding. Fun night, anyways I wont be updating until Tuesday because i will be gone. Im going to my girlfriend water front home for some fun.
Oh, anyone else have any comments on the fan color or other things on the previous page?
This looks very nicely done.
Thanks for showing me the quick-replace Dremel discs... I didn't know those existed... but, WOW!
I. Need. Those.
I think this mod is going super great.
The BattleField theme is really coming together.
The switch panel with the lights, very nicely done.
I like the 'weathered' look you gave to the sticker.
Dan!
And, have fun @ your girlfriend's!!!
You're in TBCS?
You do realize we're following a guy that's the

Darth Harrington's Intergalactic Proton Powered Electrical Tentacled Advertising Droids
I'm just sayin'...
I have some progress pics.
Not much done but at least this gives an idea of what I have been doing.
I painted the top panel. The white area is actually paper but It gives you an idea of what the frosted plexi wil look like. I did a little bit of aging to the top and I will continue it on the rest of the case.
The front fan finished, I just need to paint the bolts.
EDIT-I also did a quick sketch on the front bezel setup. I think I may finally be certain on the order of things.
what type of switches are you going to use on the front panel? I've recently been experimenting with different types of toggle and push swtichs for power, reset etc. Momentary toggle switches give a great 1970s early computer look. Would also look good here.
Im kinda confused, you have a c4 detonator, yet after you "trigger" it, you have to bend over and put your finger in the thumb reader?
I say drop the reader and center the sticker, it makes more sense.
Other then that it looks fine.
Anyways, I now have my front bezel cut out.
I then bent it at a 90 degree angle as best i could with a Rubber mallet and some angled aluminum.
I laid out the front(actual size) and I will start cutting the holes and brackets for the stuff tomorrow. I have to make metal plates that everything fits into so i can remove stuff by taking out screws. Should look good.
Oh, and this is what I will use to attach the cd rom to the front. I just have to cut it along the bottom tape marks and then support it with something.
EDIT- On a side note, If anyone is wondering why I went with green for the color instead of beige, well it was beige. It made it look like an old office computer. So, I went with green to give it more "flare."
That is hilarious, I never thought of that but beize is the cardinal sin of modding, good call!If anyone is wondering why I went with green for the color instead of beige, well it was beige.
