Im not sure I want to add a bunch of stuff to the sides. I think it would look weired to have a bunch of switches and gauges on the outside when the case was designed to conceal things such as that (meaning the doors). I do have a small suprise for the outside, its more of a detachable add-on, but you will have to wait and see.

I got a little bit of work done today. The first thing I did was add a support for the cover. This also help support the front bezel as well.

I officially finished the speakers by adding the hardware to hold them in.

Im still on the fence about the handles. I know they serve no real purpose but this build is about looks, not just function. I think they look good but I dont know. Heres a few more picks with a black and silver handle. Any input?

I also added a bit ore aging to the front to give it a more used look in places that would be touched a lot. Thats why there are dark and light spots in the above pictures, although they do not show it very well.

thanks again for the suggestions and compliments.

If you go with handles I would have to vote black.

I like the silver handles, the black looks good but if you think about it the handles would be used to lift therefore the paint would chip and wear off so eventually they would be silver anyway. Why don't you use the silver handles but weather them with paint to get that worn chipped effect.

[Ouch!]

I've changed my mind.....after seeing the picture I'd go for silver handles....



Ouch!

I vote silver and btw the case is looking quite pimp. keep it up man....

[Xperiment]

I would say silver too. But 'weather' them a little.

Thanks for the input everyone it realy did help in my decisions.

I did a little bit of work today. I did mount the handles and they turned out pretty good. I went with a weathered silver look. I did it by painting them black then sanding off almost all f the paint. I did this to give it a pitted and worn look and the pictures do them no justice. I like the contrast they created with the front panel. I may mist them with some black to make them look dirtier.

They are very strong to since I have reinforced the front panel. i can actually lift the case by them. I hope to my leds for the star and my red cold cathodes in a few days to finish this off,... for now lol.

Handles look fantastic, the weathered look suites the mod perfectly.

EDIT: Thanks for the rep dan

[Ouch!]

Very cool!

I like this mod. I've seen loads of ammo cans before but this is imaginative and new.

Well done!

Ouch!

Not so bad.


I have to ask about guages.
Someone metioned that guages will be placed on the side.
Really? I'm a bit freakin' weird maybe but it's not so "millitary" when you hit smth and crashing it.
Shuoldn't thoes been on the top or near by speakers? This once should be protected.

ps. Sorry bad english but it is sooo early.
