First project in progress

[Cooper58d]

Well I took some better pics hopefully this gives a little better res

 

[Cooper58d]

The case is in the first stages of sanding to get the old finish off the standard finish does not hold paint very well

 

[Cooper58d]

Got the idea for the turbine mod from the mod gallery it is my inspiration.

 

[Cooper58d]

I'm cutting the holes for the fans with a jig saw and a wood cutting blade (not the best choice for bits it'll rattle your teeth off recommend metal bit I'm to cheap to go and get one)

 

[Cooper58d]

I have been watching these forums for about a month now and have little bodywork or metal working experience. So if your a begginer like me look at the stickies and live by them they help out greatly

 

[Cooper58d]

this is the back of the front of the case the hole is a 4" pvc pipe and the fan is 120mm

I know my garage is filthy but the filth keeps the wife out and prevents her from putting her stuff in there

 

[Cooper58d]

the turbine fan mod is easy the tutorial is in the case mod gallery

 

[SewerBeing]

[Cooper58d]

thanks starting the finnishing work on the front tonight will have pics in the morning

Believe me I'm cheap. The whole thing so far has cost me $30 us. thats including everything the fan, bondo, pvc pipe, nose cone, and paint, (which includes crome, red, white, and blue, going for the patriotic look.)

 

[suicidalmole]

cheap but good looking.....thats how modding goes!!

 

[Cooper58d]

I tell ya I haven't had this much fun on a project in a long time. I am defenitly hooked I'm already thinking about the next project and I'm not even finnished with this one.

wow, very nice mod so far, how did u get the bondo to make it look so curvy? did u apply it and then sand it down? anyways, can u tell me how to do the turbine thing and everything, i cant ook thru pages of case mods

 

[Cooper58d]

The exhaust for the blowhole is going to be modeled after the exhaust from a helicopter. (It's only fitting because I worked on them.) and I plan on watercooling the Mobo,CPU, and GPU in the future. I need to get more knowlegable on it first been reading the stickies in the watercooling section. for now I'll just have about 7 million fans in the thing.

I take it the Kiwi is for your boots and not the case?

Looking good so far.

Ya I thought about spit shining the case and then I remembered that I really don't shine my work boots that often. So I thought it be prudent to not shine the case because of the whole hypocrosy thing
