Default [Project] Midnight Sparkle

Hey there guys,

Im back again with another mod, This is Midnight sparkle that i am doing for my girlfriends new computer.

as usual its a scratch build.

Here is the initial design which changes a bit as you will see very soon(im not doing another version you can see in the pics)


I started off this long day of modding by clearing stuff a bit so that i have room to mod again




And on with the modding
(sorry for the blurry pic...)
I started by cutting apart my old case to give me a mobo tray and a template for the psu.


mobo tray cut down


and even more


psu template



I then cut the 2 bits of alu that i need for the main body of the mod



and bent the longer bit to shape


here it is with the side panel sitting on it


and mounted


front and back marked out


and cut


back marked for cutting


cut


mobo tray mounted




Window cut


and filed


and mounted back on the case


Acrylic for the window marked ready for cutting


and placed on the outside of the case


i then marked the alu angle ready for cutting into the joints


and cut


I then started work on the case feet


and glued


i didnt get to file, sand and polish them today but i will get that done tomorrow and then i need to order more bolts and get some more rivets tomorrow so that i can get this done. this will be one very quick mod butttt i did work on this from about 10:00-18:30 with a 1 hour break in the middle hence why i got a lot done

and just to give you guys some perspective of size this is smaller than the mobo section on modularis

Check in tomorrow

Josh

That's sick, it looks like you'll have tons of room behind the mobo to hide PSU cables, or I'm seeing things.
