Just took the jigsaw to my new case and come up with somthing like this. Project is a lil slow with moving to a new house and all but its comin along. the edges look a lil jagged in the pic but there not, just the pic screwd up a bit when i shrunk it

just gotta clean it up a lil and may have to repaint the one side the metal fileings draged under the jigsaw base and scratched it some no big deal though.

And if anyone is going to make a BIG window in the top of there case like i did, dont make it to big on top of the 5.25 bay area or otherwise you will have to drill all the rivots off take teh top off and modify the top carriage 5.25 bay coz window will get in the way lol oops

hey looks good, im to scared to mod my case would probally screw it up

 

[skinart]

if your useing a jigsaw its like cutting butter with knife real easy, just make sure you tape the side of your case with duct tape or somthing to protect it from the metal fileings scratching as the jigsaw runs accros.

skinart image tags are your friend,

anyway, that looks nice, did you do all of the windows your self? and how are you going to attach the windows?

 

[skinart]

image tags? and yes i cut all the windows myself, and i will be useing a double sloted piece of rubber edging, push it on the dge of the caseing and then the window slips into ther other cut out edge

image tags?

Yup, Image tags.

i.e. {img}http://www.theforumisdown.com/uploadfiles/0103/DCP_2271.jpg{/img} <~~ image tags... the only difference, is instead of using { use [ and youve got yourself an image tag!

Why was this thread moved? it is a water kooled rig?

 

[Hoot]

I moved it to this forum because so far, it has dealt almost entirely with case modding with water cooling appearing to be a distant concern.

If you feel strongly about it, I can move it back to water cooling, though I doubt all the (window dressing) case modding aspects contribute much to the art/science of water cooling.

Your call...

[skinart]
