Building a custom case?

Okay, I stripped the monitor down to nothing but the circuit board and LCD panel, now im starting to work on cutting out the side panel where im going to mount the monitor :shock:

Kiwiness · Jul 28, 2014

well ill be modding the case pretty heavy, outside and inside

Kiwiness · Jul 28, 2014

I took the side panel and marked around the Screen to get a rough idea of where it was going to sit. Measured in half an inch from the first line, as i plan to bend the half inch and make a 90 degree angle which the monitor will sit in and be mounted to.

To give you guys a rough idea of what im doing, this the first one i built about a year ago. This time i plan on making it look alot neater and planing on going with a black and green paint scheme this time.

The case put back together after after cutting the side panel out. havent bent the edges yet, plan on getting a tool to do it tomorrow with. Figured im going to be using a gtx 480 for the GPU also

Whaaaa?

That's awesome xD!

Thanks this was the final product of last years build/ my first modding job ever

hoping to top last years build, make it look alot cleaner, and only have it run off one power cable this time instead of one for the tower and one for the monitor. Only hard part is gonna be trying to power the LCD screen off the PSU. So if anyone has an idea on how to please let me know

Alrighty then, I have the monitor mounted and man it was a mission but i got the side panel bent and monitor put it :clap:

Due to the rain yesterday i didnt have time to any big modding but i managed to sort out my cable issue, the issue iw as having was a vga cable bundled up hanging out the end of case. i fixed this issue by buying a dvi faceplate, then getting a female dvi to femal vga adapter and mounting it in the faceplate, then i got just a 6inch dvi cable and connected them up to make it look alot nicer

sorry its a little dark buy its the best lighting i could get at the time

This is so cool :thup:

What GPU is in there?

wagex · Jul 31, 2014

looks like a gtx 480 if my eyes dont deceive me.

Kiwiness · Jul 31, 2014

Yes Wagex is correct, its just a gtx 480 i had laying around

Kiwiness · Jul 31, 2014

Started the custom paint, actually turning out good

wagex · Aug 14, 2014

croikey m8 anymore updates?

Kiwiness · Aug 14, 2014

Welp slapped a Corsair CX 600M in it and samsung 840 evo 120gb SSD, still working on getting the monitor/sidepanel working and painted

ninjacore · Aug 14, 2014

This is such a cool idea. Great work, kiwiness!

Kiwiness · Aug 14, 2014

Update: Got the front panel mostly finished and ready to go, still working on the side panel tho, hope to have pics of it later tonight or tomorrow
