Hello all, I am new here and I seek the words of wisdom from Fabrication Guru's out there
First off, I have been building computers for 12 years, but have never gotten into modding. I know my way around tools, but have absolutely no experience working with metal or acrylic.
That being said, I was drawing up my components for my new computer build, and I decided that I wanted a case that was a bit different in dimension from any readily available case. So I figured, heck why can't I just make one? I wanted to do one that uses mainly sheet metal and acrylic. I haven't really maped out how yet, because I don't know what is possible or reasonable.
Does anyone have a good suggestion of some places I can go to learn the techniques behind this? Additionally, any tips on what to start with. Ie, go make a couple of X widget first so you can get a feel for this technique before you go bending metal for the real deal.
Thanks for the advice.
