Considering the fact that the PSU doesn't just push out 12v DC, I think this may be a risky task. The PSU steps down the voltage for various pieces of equipment and also has different amperages for...

Thanks guys, it looks like I will have to switch to plan B...
now to figure out what plan B is :p

Thanks again for the info.

Hey guys, like I have said before I am a bit new at this. I did a bit of google-ing and am still a bit unsure. What should I look for if I want to cut metal and plex with a router? I am assuming the...

Sorry, I guess it wasn't to clear. I will be using paint and plexi for these colors. The deal breaker is the plexi, it is going narrow down the choices some as far as color because I still want it to...

Hey guys, I am getting dangerously close to the end of the official design phase of my first project. I am not willing to give up too many details just yet, but I know there will be copper and the...

On the mobo issue, if you are not planning on going with SLI, I would rule out the ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe. It's big plus is that it runs 2 GPU's at x16 versus the x8 each of most other mobo's. There...

The biggest thing about shine is smooth. If it has even the slightest texture to it, you will be hard pressed to get a really eye-popping shine. So it really is going to depend on the case. Post some...

Well I have pretty much abandoned my old Alienware case for this project. It was just a bit too restrictive for some of the things I wanted to do. I am going to try my hand at making a custom case...

ahh... yeah fiberglass probably wont hold up real well. The aluminum should be ok though. Just be sure to take out the mobo tray. When the bullet passes through it is going to give the area around...

heh heh, I just re-read my previous post... I said that pumping the heat into the case would NOT be a bad thing... I actually meant that it would be. Sorry about that.

The mesh would deffinately...

I am curious as to why shooting it wouldn't work. If hard ware was removed, mobo tray, and drive cages. Put the panels back on and shoot it with something that isn't going to rip it in two (put the...

If you mean leaving the cover off, then I would say that there is a deffinate potential for bad things to happen. The power that goes through the PSU is deffinately dangerous. Also consider the...

On the case that I have the mobo plate goes from front to back, There isn't another piece of sheet metal behind it for structure, just a brace. I think I will have to chop the plate up near the drive...

Good point Jetty,
As for lining up the mobo risers, I was intending on taking the tray out of the case. Basically stripping the case to individual parts and cutting the mobo tray off to the side so...

One possible solution would be to go the hobby shop and find those medical models. They normally have a cut away of the brain there. You could either use the brain, or make it into a mold and cast...

Well crap, no pics today everyone. I got in too much of a hurry and the fan housing I was working on looks like it got in a fight with a cheese grater... and lost :( I am gonna pick up another...

It really depends on how the door contour matches up. Does it just swing off the side, or is it recessed? Post a few pics and I am sure someone here will be able to come up with something to get you...

Thanks Mont. Working on shaving off all of the unwanted bodylines of the case today. It is so cold outside though, I can only work for a few minutes before I have to come in and warm up. Also grabbed...

Hey everyone.
Still working de-alienating my alienware, but had a quick question. Has anyone ever seen a stretched case? I mean this in the stretched limo, cut out the middle and add a few extra...

What I would recomend is building a backboard that all of the seperate frames mount on. That way It could be painted/textured like the wall. This would give the option to route wires in front or...

I don't know the brand of drink you are speaking of, but how big is the bottle relative to the case? If it is of a proper size and want it to be a major theme a top mount res could be an option? I am...

Hey Charlielc,
I dont play the game, so I don't know much about it, but it seems to me that sewer pipe in the second pic or what ever it is would be an excelent template for a fan or blow hole...

if you do end up using a dremel, remember to take it outside. Hot or melting plexy is not the best air freshener and the smell can linger for hours. :)

qoou,
I was thinking of making the structural portion of the fan housings from 6 inch PVC. By slicing out a section, I could shrink it down and make it fit the fans. Still thinking over the best way...

EEP!
No clue what I did there, here is a quick side 3/4 view that was left out.
