Ok, second update on the day. If I get a chance tonight, I'll be sanding, painting and burning (propane! fire! yes!) the front of the case.

So, I started making the front with measurements on a big piece of $1.01 Home Depot wood.


Then, I borrowed my friend's jigsaw again and went to town. Cut the big chunk off.

Cut off the "ripped" off piece, even though it doesn't look so ripped off yet. Just wait...

Cut the border/middle-part-i-don't-care-about piece.

I cut the middle part for the drive bay...but it was frustrating because I had to drill a hole in the drive cover part in order to cut it out. But...I couldn't think of another way.

Took some extra wood, and on my 2nd try, got it really close to exact.


In all those pictures, I kept getting more and more excited because I put the mesh behind and see how it'd look. If I have time before I go to bed tonight (Oregon/OSU Civil War tomorrow, go Beavs!), I'll try get some sanding and primer coats or something. We'll see. O, and I have the top being worked on, but I'm waiting to get the front mostly done before I take any pictures. More later!

Another small update. Got some sanding done (should have done more, but o well) and painting.

Here, I sprayed some grey primer over the wood (not pictured is the black grate stuff being sprayed) I know, its a horrible picture...

Lined up my piping on top of the case. Yes, the pipe split in half is on purpose. Just trying to replicate the original case. Don't believe me? Go play!

Later, I sprayed some white onto the wood front. The white isn't acting that shiny, but I guess it doesn't really matter. I'm gonna burn it anyway.


That's it so far. I'm sorta at a stand still. I want to complete the front but I can't until I complete the top and I want to complete the top but I can't until I get my dvd drive to complete the front. So, in other words, I have to complete the top and the front together. That said, I'm gonna sleep on it and come up with my set-in-stone design. This is looking scary...

The problem with a mod like this, is that you have to be sure that when you try and make it look destroyed, it doesn't just look like you buggered up your case mod.

You sir have pulled it off . Looks great!
