    Well, gotta love this mod. You inspired me and I'll remember the keyboard idea, but with a twist I recommend: if it is a control panel you wanna build.. why not buy/use a good keyboard (preferably a usb one) and use it.. functional and all! Try to find a keyboard that is small enough not to take all of the front and make shortcuts for your stuff from it.. you could even mark them somehow. For instance, both my pcs don't need a power button unless an emergency occurs, because I set up a power on key in BIOS... this is just one use I see.. There are lots of nifty things you could do to add some more weirdness.. Like put a water reservoir in front, wrap the functional keyboard around it and have bubbles gently rising... Anyways, good luck and +rep for the keyboard (got me worked up )

    Never thought of making the the keyboard idea fuctional. I like that :p
    I do have an idea for a reservoir at a later point that would use the keyboard stuff. I was thinking I could mount This to the side panel and wrap the keyboard circuits around it I have spent enough money on this mod as it is, so that would be an addon later.

    My USPS tracking numbers show that the plexi, and mesh got past customs today Hopefull it will be here tomorrow, if not then I guess my weekend is going to be boring. Also the Cube model shipped today. That means it will get here sometime between Wensday and Friday next week.

    I just finished all the cable sleeves, took me awhile to do all of it. Right now I am trying to figure out where I am going to mount my 20 green LEDs... and how lol

    Alright so I was just about to go to bed and I thought of two more ideas for this mod... I need laser pointers for one of the ideas and the other I need to recreate the eye piece on here:

    I wanna stick that on the front of the case. As for the laser pointers, some Borg had them attached to the side of thier heads. I think a couple of those mounted inside the case might be cool.

    The mail lady gave me a nice big box today


    UV Plexi, Mesh, 3 UV LED fans, and a sexy little power button.

    I'm heading out to the shop with the dremel and the case. Something is gonna get cut up

    Well I have been in the shop for 6hours doing all sorts of stuff on this mod. Truth be told, I only worked for 2hours and messed around with the new stuff for the other 4 hours
    Picture time ^^

    Side panel... More parts will be cut out of it after I get the Cube model, which will overlay parts of the UV plexi.




    Top panel

    More to come tomorrow

    Quick update... Slapped the case together really quick. I left the front panel off as it is getting some bondo work done


    I forgot to take pictures of the other side... to tired to do so now.

    I am going to add some more mesh to the top panel, cut a few more slots in both side panels, sleeve the rest of the cables, and finish up the front panel tomorrow if I can. That might be alot of work for one day but I'm going to try and get it all done. Then Sunday I can finish painting most of it. After that all I will be waiting for is the cube model.
