New window

_slh_ · 06-29-03, 07:55 AM

Just got finished cutting it out. Cut with a jigsaw, cleaned up with a cordless drill and grinding bit, then finished with a file. Molding is made from the insulation from 4mm black cable split down the middle with a sharp knife. I have some lexan waiting to go in it at work (forgot to bring it home on friday) and after that its just a case of cleaning up the wires a bit more, swapping the fan grill for a laser cut one, and adding some lighting.

Looks good. Off topic.. but what are the white strips on the bottom of the case, under the mobo?

Those are the rails for the cdrom drive bays. If you ever owned an antec/antec clone case, youd see those.

_slh_ · 06-30-03, 01:16 AM

Like Azeroth says, theyre spare drive rails. I did think about carrying it up to the top of the case, but theres nothing really worth seeing in the top half...a PSU, the back end of 3 optical drives, and a jumble of cable, so I left it at that

NiTrO bOiE · 06-30-03, 08:37 AM

Looks great. That is a HUGE case BTW.

pummer · 06-30-03, 08:53 AM

Yeah, since that's a full tower there's really nothing to see up top, that's why i like the design so much.

64Thunderbolt · 06-30-03, 09:44 AM

yea, I know about nothing being up there.. just seems a little lop sided.. dont get me wrong, I still like the design!!

SpaceRangerJoe · 06-30-03, 01:15 PM

i really like the broken up look it has. the fan in the middle is really neat looking.the molding is very clean also. very good job.

ps- those antec full towers are great. i love mine.
