Heya,

I am getting ready to move into phase 2 of my modding project of my case. I will make a mini-window on the right side of the PC where the motherboard is. I will have an etched text "CZ3RT" on it going from up-down. I will post the actual plans tomorrow. I am open to suggestions...

Current look:

The 2nd computer is my server PC, where the documents and files are stored for all the computers in the house.

And Jan, if you put a window there (at least thats what it looks like you want to do), wont the CD drives be in the way of really seeing anything inside it?

My bad sorry, it was meant to be more to the right....it would be between where the CD-Drives end and the mobo begins... some10 cm :)

I will be using one of those electric saw blade thingies. Dunno what the proper name for them is. Anyway, it does not do the best job in terms of the edges, so it will (much like the window I made on it previously), require a lot of cleaning off and stuff.

sandpaper works wonders:D
 
when is this mod gonna happen, im currently waiting for funds to pass before i can buy the acryllic sheet for mine, how are you doing on this one jan???
 
Well

I believe that I will have time to start on this mod on February 1st 2006 ;) This was made so that I could get some useful feedback and suggestions. Do you have any more ideas as to what I could mod on the case? The actual mod will not take more than 2 hours to complete. I will have a friend of mine help me with it as well. He helped with the top fan mod. The case is made from 1mm steel as well and that's a pain to work with. I now have to buy the glass (not plexiglass) and the rubber lining so that it would look nicer.

Heya,

I will begin on this project in one day. As well as that, I will clean up the cabling inside the case to make it look nicer. Get some feedback started. However there are going to be some major changes. Here they are:

1. Case side window (large) where the motherboard is - lit by blue (possibly red) LEDs.

2. A mirror at the bottom of the case :)

3. The ETCH idea will remain. I was thinking of actually making a complicated one. I will use the number 3 as my logo as well as the picture of the devil on the left. I will do a fake ETCH so to say by spraypainting it from a greater distance to get a very fine layer on the glass. Because I use glass instead of acrylic, I would need to use a special paste and the whole process would be too complicated

What do you thinK?
