Very nice work with the bondo. This case will look very nice when its done.

[Frakk]

it looks pretty cool. i wonder how much the mesh and that extra oval plate in front of the fans will restrict the airflow. or maybe im just too picky about restrictive blowholes?

[Defyant]

it will restrict a bit, but the dual blow hole only serves the purpose to deliver enuf air to supply one rear mounted 120bix!, even with the middle plate it will still supply enuf air to do that


theres still the side panel to be done

[Defyant]

Didn't want to run the old metal back plate, so i thought i'd try something different.
Stepping out to my favorite shop, i picked up a cut peice of 8mm thick clear plex!

A qik test to see it fits right, all the motherboard points and needed holes, mounts etc will be added later.

The plex panel it self isn't the actual mod! but the idea to diffuse and light it is!

the idea came to me while doing the front light diffusers, its just going to be on a much larger scale.

A qik test on a small peice of off-cut confirms the idea will work.

next is to sand the peice of plex with 1200 wet and dry, the small scratched catch the light beem and allow the whole flat surface to light, rather then just letting the light travel thru to the ends like on Hevy plex SLB mod i did for Zak.

Adding some light.

Once i could see that the effect was goin to work it was time to peel off the protective paper and get to work on my motherboard back panel.


Simple wetrub in the laundry sink again with 1200 W/D and a 3M rubber hand block, all of 15 mins work and is done to both sides to achive an almost frosted look.

The end result.

Next is to hook up some lights for testing.

turn off the lights and see if it works!

i was pretty impressed at what a great internal light feature this simple mod makes,even with the motherboard and internal bolted in there will still be enuf see-able area to keep this a main feature inside the case.

[Frakk]

keep it coming. excellent job again

[Malatory]

Looking really good.

Like the way things are lighing up for you

Couple questions, what are the LED's in and how did you attach that to the plexi?

[Xato]

Looks like a set of Lazer LED's, i'm assuming that mounting is temporary though, as the lights will need to be inside the case.

[Defyant]

yer thats it guys just a old set of lazer's in a temp placing to test.

i do use a slip on type as well, Defyant style flex light leeds, like on HP1 and a diff setup i used on my sons MOD Hevy plex SLB.

This is the variant i made for my sons case mod.

These plug into a baybus for a "modular lighting" setup

Then plug into his plex side panels for this effect.
