That really is pretty cool. Looked pretty simple too.... did ya have to make it soooo big though? lol

Edit:
Also, Where is the optical drive?! lol i didnt see where you would put it!

**forcifer** · 01-27-2008, 08:46 AM

for size, didnt really mean it that big just sorta happened. for optical drive, i could make something for it, but i never use them anymore =/

benvtech · 01-27-2008, 09:14 AM

Ahh lol. Well, either way its an interesting case.

How did you install Windows?

HawMan · 01-27-2008, 09:58 AM

It was already installed i think

**forcifer** · 01-27-2008, 10:07 AM

for this case yea. when i install windows i obviously do use an opti drive, but for this case it hasnt been needed yet. if people want to i will install one, just so that its a "completed" computer

**forcifer** · 01-27-2008, 08:50 PM

everything thats going to be cutout has been cutout :D pics up tomarrow, using a different computer as my usual one is currently still taken apart to allow drying of stuff. you should all like it (i hope)

w00t 3k posts!!

benvtech · 01-28-2008, 05:08 AM

Looking forward to seeing them, did you fill in those gaps though?There are some ideas that could be done to easily resolve that and make it not look like junk lol....

**forcifer** · 01-28-2008, 09:36 PM

sorry about the delay, but my computer (thus hard drives) are still in shambles and all my watermarks and stuff are on there. trying to keep everything together. getting the bling tomarrow, so expect a huge update :D:D

**forcifer** · 01-29-2008, 05:34 PM

after being without a decent comp for a few days :O i finally decided that i could live with a cardboard box case. since i had my comp back, i had hdds back, i had watermarks back....i could upload piccys XD

gets really old how many times ive had to take apart case..

sidepanel design :)

taped down..

first part done. you see that tool right there? thats what ive dont virtually all but perfectly straight cuts with. gotten to be very good friends with it =.=

yadda yadda a few minutes later im done :) time to remove the paper..

shazam

partially burned :) pics not doing justice though..

thats better

painted screws black, they are just drying now(well, they are dry NOW, but when i took that pic they werent)

my friend's website. it does have a forum, but is mainly a review website. i did this out of choice, btw because his life hasnt been too great as of recent =/

a package?

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

hehe....clear neon....cathodes...fans...pwnage

just a couple other holes i drilled into side panel for on/off switches for red and UV cathodes (i had UV from older comps)

close up of my handywork :)

where one of the 2 80mm fans are going

my current "case" if you can call it that.

thanks everyone :D

**Jtsou** · 01-29-2008, 06:34 PM

You should get yourself a drywall sander and hit the burnt spots. Also a coat of polyurethane would look nice :D

**emosun** · 01-29-2008, 06:43 PM

If your this good at cutting those shapes why not do it with metal? You could keep the wood peices on the inside but just change the wood panels to metal. I'm just worried about a fire hazerd , which is why they don't make electronics with wood enclosesures anymore. And especially with a pc , the case will absorb all the heat. I mean really its gonna always be hot . Also i noticed the videocard sagging in one of he shots, looks like it was wired up? you could put a small wood block on the back and screw it in.

**forcifer** · 01-29-2008, 07:00 PM

its sagging a bit, but thats as far as it will go. its wired in :)
as for fire hazard, im not really worried. im installing fans, not overclocking. if there is a fire in our house, a metal case would just get so hot it wouldnt really matter in the end =/
as for metal, all i have in my basement is copper, which could be uber sexy but also be really hard. when i get better, maybe copper/alu :)

**Jtsou** · 01-30-2008, 03:09 AM

Hes not talking about a fire in your house...hes talking about the case igniting. But you can go to a local hardware store and get these sheets of fireproof material. Id place them between the MB and case wall and maybe around the PSU.

**forcifer** · 01-30-2008, 04:59 AM

hmm yea. i still dont think there is going to be an issue though =/ computer really doesnt get hot enough....

**emosun** · 01-30-2008, 06:39 AM

Course i bet if you ask anyone thats had there computer start on fire they would say they didn't think it was going to be an issue. The pc is going to be warmer then a regular computer so the risk of a fire is higher then a metal case. If not metal the fire proof material sounds a little safer.
