Yeah those hinges don't look right; you really need something sleek/streamlined that won't stick out like a sore thumb as these are just too massive/bulky in part due to their detail elements.

I'm with you on the hinges....they don't quite fit the polished feel of the rest of the case .

Maybe you could bondo over the pattern, sand and then paint.

Yea you have a point, mine isn't designed to hold anything more than just 4 fans...

I think the problem with your current hinges is that they have so much design and intricate patterns that it just sticks out like a sore thumb in the sleek jet black acrylic.

So now to just find sleek jet black metal hinges...

Ah... yes.

The person that sent me that message was quite right. "Thanks anonymous Dood/Dudette for the wake-up call."


This aspect has been gnawing at me, and now that I am getting some feedback it seems that they are indeed not the right hinges for this project.

"Sleek" - Yes.

Well, I will have to see if I can get another set that are less conspicuous.


This little u-turn should not set the project back too much, but I sure hope I can find a set that has the same mounting hole-placement. *hopes*

Thanks for the input Rado, much appreciated.

Yes. Bondo is a good idea, Coffee.

I'll see what I can get that are "stock" (read: no modifying required). If not and worst comes to worst, the Bondo it is.




oops.... I just tripled

After looking a second time at the hinges (since they are being discusses) I recall my previous statement ^

They do 'stick out' to me as well now that I am awake (was in morning 'grogginess' when I posted earlier,lol ).

I do like the thickness of the hinges, but the intricacies and particularly the round bar in the middle of the hinges just make it stand out too much. The hard thing would be to find a thick metal hinge. I feel like a thin metal hinge (even painted black) would still look odd, too thin and 'dinky' against the massiveness of the case.


I shall rack my brain and see if anything comes to mind today
