About 2 weeks ago i purchased a shuttle mini p4 system for the huge price of $115- This price came with some flaws in the system obviously, such as a scratched case, and little hole cut in one side-
Having ditched my other projects in favor of this pc for school, i only have 3 days to work on it, so this will be a hopefully very quick and easy project!

Seeing as i have been keeping my eye out for a case to use my ever growing picture gallery of tatoou pictures, I had at it today creating my own "out of the edges" design-

The pc is simple parts i had laying around:
P4 2.26 Retail
2x256mgs pc 3200 Corsair
R 9700 pro
48x liteon burner

This is how it came-

Note the hole....

After several hours of designing.... i came up with this- Plexi will sit behind it ofcourse, and the hole, now thats for tommarow-

My custom fan grills, these are not for me as of now, rather just ideas- please ask if you want to use one-

I could see that chrome dipped and slapped on the side of a hog...sweet cutting by the way
PS that side cut out would make a real good 120mm/92mm blow hole just cut out the 40mm fan guard in back and remove the 40mm fan (it would cause too much restriction)
 
Nice big update here.....
School starts friday..... work thought thursday.... its going to be close!
