Blue sun project (not 56k friendly)

Hey all
While i waited for my new computer parts to arrive i had a little fun with a old cabinet wich was gonna house my new computer. I should prolly have bought a new cabinet to while i was buying the new parts, but i was to cheap and besides i rather have some better parts than a shiny exterior.

Anyways i tried to snaz my generic chieftec dragon up with a little window mod.

Parts used:
Masking tape
Dremel copy (it was cheap and works as good as the real thing )
Pencil
and some amazing skills

First i printed the pattern i wanted. Then i masked the backside of the door so i could make a drawing there


Now was where the fun began... cutting




Getting closer to the finished result




All done... just sanded all the edges to avoid cuts


Frontside


Frontside with light (yes i added som clear plexiglass to the backside but forgot to take pictures of the mounting process)

Very nice!

Nice Job - The blue lightning looks great.

Wow, that looks nice. I like the pic with the wicker chair under it, looks neat.

Thx for the kind words
But yea now you mention it that pic looks pretty cool. Maybe the next project should be a wicker chair window?

That looks excellent! Must have been quite a bit of fine dremeling (is that a word?). Not many people do anything with the backside of the case. Kudos!

i love that and mad props on the godsmack sun!

Wow that looks sweet! I bet it looks cool at night

NIce way to rip of the godsmack symbol

lol i didn't even know it was their symbol. I just googled tribal sun images and this came up. But it looks sweet tho

That does look cool... Did you just use disks to cut that out?

Great effort.

How long did that take if I may ask?

It took around 4 -5 hours from start to finish (cutting the template in paper, cutting the cabinet side and adding the acrylic plate to the inside.)

And yes it was all done with the cutting disks from dremel

Very nicely done. I've dremeled steel side panels before and it is definitely not easy! May I suggest you touch up some of those silver edges with a black sharpie or repaint the side panel? It would give it a much more finished look...
