FrozenCPU.com sells a nice lapping kit that goes to a higher grit than anyone elses kit. Comes with directions, and there's even a how-to video on the product page.

I wonder what I'm making...

K10 · 09-27-09

What about this one? What could this be for?!

The color wasn't dark enough so I traced the lines in photoshop.

I take it the 2nd pic is for a trap/false door over the psu?

I 'might' consider doing this as well, I have a old black chassis lying around...I could use that.

Erm, how are you going to bend the sheet? I suppose I could clamp the sheet down and bend it slowly or something

I didn't really pay attention in Metal Work in High School

Are you going to swop this current case to your friend? You're doing a lot of modding to it, even though you're going to swop it

Yeah, false floor.

Clamp with wood, score, bend. Did it in my sig build log thing but with much thinner pieces of metal.

Yeah, swapping this case for my friend's case. Just making false floor and 120mm fan bracket for him since he does so much for me irl and I have a lot of metal crap parts from the case I destroyed. It'll take me less than an hour to complete so yeah...no big deal to me and I get better each time I do stuff. So it's a win/win.

Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a bash

...I want to cut another whole in the side of my psu, so I can route the cabling completely out of sight, and get a 24pin ATX extension cable, since the M2N SLI's layout is annoying.

Having the false door over that will really make it look snazzy, and so much more 'cleaner'

You got any ideas for the Antec case you're going to get?

I don't really know too much about it. I've looked at some mods and I'm basically just gonna cut holes for cable management, swap out the blue LEDs on the top fan(since he's keeping his other fans and I'm keeping mine since I like my orange/red fans

), make a false floor for that one too...maybe, paint the inside black and MAYBE paint the outside some gloss color. Maybe a deep red or orange if I can find a good paint color. I'm also gonna rewire my PSU so I have black wires. I couldn't afford the shipping on this nice sleeving so this is the next best thing to me since I really love the look of monochromatic wiring.
