Project: My very first mod ever

[Fuganater]

If you check out this page at Performance-PCs you can see all the different window kits you can get. This is just one site (that I use) where you can find these.

With a kit you get an exact cut plexi piece. If you do it your self you just have to be careful but you can do whatever your crazy head desires. Totally a personal choice.

I do like exact. That is nice, I like the blue stuff . Although, the dimensions that I am cutting the window at, I am not completely sure. I'll take a look at it .How hard do you think it would be if I were to get the right dimension of plexi, then afterwards, cut a rounded hole in the plexi and install some metal mesh and a 120 mm fan?

Shouldn't be a problem at all. BUT when you cut pelxi, it must be exact. Use a hole saw to cut the hole. I just posted how I did it to mine in my worklog. You can miss cut metal and get away with it a little. Plexi you just cant. I would recommend putting a grill on it as well if you mess up a bit. You can always use that to cover your mistakes.

cool ^_^, lol right now I am actually debating with myself if I should go with green instead of blue for the theme, because blue is so common, not to mention I could throw in some biohazard type stuff , like fan grids and what not. Because I have not really put any un-do-able mods yet. what do you think?

I would stealth the Dvd burners(or what ever they are, cant tell from pic).

Fan grills are nice.

GOOD NEWS!!!!
I cut the hole in the side panel today!

This bieng my first time cutting metal with a dremel I was very pleased with my effort!

So.....

First I prepped...
yes Monster Assault is neccesary! lol

Then I did the cut! (which took 2 hours but, hey I didn't want to rush!)

Then I refined the edges, sanded them down with a dremel head, then filed it down the good old fashioned way! Then Voila! One Side panel!

I am so pumped! Can't wait till I get some plexi!

what do you think?!

[Fuganater]

Very nice dude. make sure its as straight as you can get it. Its the fist thing people will notice when they look at your mod. Keep going

[modaholic]

Yeah, I spent about two hours making the straight cuts and the rounded edges, and then I spent an hour making sure that everything is perfectly smooth and super straight! . I can't wait till I can get a window kit or a nice piece of Plexi. There is a local place where I can get plexi called "Tap Plastics". Pretty good prices, Thats where I also got the polycarbonate for our schools robot for robotics team.
