Very interesting lol, why did you completely cut out the back?

highly_volatile · 12-08-2004, 02:04 PM

Up date

The black tape is just to hold it together until i drill and rivet... the panel with the cd-rom drive will be bolted to the case

Hmm...maybe a paint drawing where you are going with this? that would be nice.

highly_volatile · 12-08-2004, 03:53 PM

Yeap ... sure will be giving it a coat of paint.... but before that i'll be partitioning the mobo from the psu , hard drives and cd-rom. Then covering the mobo partition area with glass / perspex not sure where to go with that just yet ? As for colour ... The inside white .. The outside ? I'm build this as i go along . I'm coming up with new ideas as it takes shape .... But what i'm looking for at the end of the day is my pc to be sat next to my tft .. ( see photo )

i think i know where you are going with this, but just in case you already said this, get the side modded and make a window for it that would be cool, what i think you were saying is ur gonna get the whole side a window (also cool)

That is going to be a funky design. Interesting though.

V-Spec · 12-11-2004, 08:02 PM

not used to these abstract designs.. but im sure u can pull it off

i roll3rb1ad3 · 12-12-2004, 02:02 AM

i agree with fastredponycar

cooljman · 12-12-2004, 02:47 AM

Interesting design, after your done you shoudl sent some pictures to rockhousepcs@hotmail.com, if you dont mind them using the design. they love to get new designs in.

Sorry its been so long , just been kind of busy.... anyhow i'm now getting on with my build ...fitted the cd-rom and installed the removable partition

I do wish i had a workshop ...it would make this a whole lot easier ...more pic will follow

Very unique design. I'm interested in seeing the finished project, keep the pics coming!

highly_volatile · 12-23-2004, 06:02 PM

more photos this time of the frame work for the window above the pci slots ..... still have more to do on this ... but as t you can see its ... erm... looking a mess? ... early stages ...

car body filler and wire mess .... funny how my local pc hardware store didn't stock it ?

jpritchard · 12-23-2004, 06:20 PM

no ****ing idea what you are gonna do with this case but good luck

Shimaroller3 · 12-23-2004, 07:34 PM

Ya, it looks cool so far but I really hope you have a plan...cuz I can't make ANYTHING of what you've done lol.

highly_volatile · 12-23-2004, 07:57 PM

I have a plan and that to build it as i go along and so far its going to plan .... making up the support brackets for the cd-rom drive was my biggest concern. after all its all done by eye and marked with felt tip pen .... and you know what? every things fits perfect ... the face of the cd-rom fit a perfect flush with what i call my front panel ...[ your left side panel ].....i'm pleased with myself.... i just hope all the rest of the build goes so swiftly

Dugoth · 12-23-2004, 09:28 PM

Hmm...mATX Motherboard? I can't see being able to squeeze a full ATX into the partitioned off area you've made to the left of the CD-Rom and whatever else you're planning to stick in there....It's certainly a different take on the old standard configuration for a case though, I'll be interested to see how it all fits toghether :)

Fire_Infinity · 12-23-2004, 09:34 PM

what are you gonna do with the front of the case?

highly_volatile · 12-23-2004, 10:04 PM

your correct in thinking that .... the case is custom build for my mobo... 17cm in width ......my mobo and friends are long due a home (case)....

For the front of the case ? .... i'll think of something
