Hello my fellow modders and pc enthusiasts for one more time!
I am back with one more "art" case mod. I will combine native Indian art (totem) with technology (technika) using wood, steel, aluminum, fiberglass and acrylic !!

I am going to use my old Thermaltake Armor which I am going to use only the chassis.
I will combine different art techniques so expect no solid colors and simple job!
About the hardware I am going to use my old Evga 750i with the Q6600 and 2x 8800 GTX all watercooled so please dont be cruel with me! I am going to give emphasis to the case mod more than the hardware unless I find some spare money or sponsors!

So lets begin our humble journey to this case modding adventure!

I will try to get rid of as much steel as I can, to be replaced afterward with aluminum and acrylic. Here are some pictures of the steel and paint removing process. (In this worklog it wont be any specific order of things to do so I will show my random work)

Here I removed the side panels and feet:

And lets get rid off the steel!

Now the top part:

The back side.... Too much unnecessary steel!!

I also had to cut some spare parts for the bay cage:

And the paint remover I used and some of the process so far:

So I hope you stay with me, because as you know.... they will be a lot of surprises and
new things to see!

Enjoy!! (Excuse my bad English!)

Here I am again for a quick second update! I did some quick paint remove and also some painting!

Here are some pictures of the dissasembling of the case:

And some of the case parts! Lots of rivets had to be removed.....!!!!

So here I am again with my painting techniques!

First 2 layers of primer. Then I applied one layer of red metallic paint and then some primer again! I used a piece of carton to "move" the primer across the surface before it dried and after half an hour I sanded the panels for the edges to be removed and then I did 3 layers of red metallic paint with 3 layers of high gloss black fading towards the interior.

This is it for now! Feel free to comment ! More soon enough.....!
