First mod ever... Project Karbon Kreation

[Karbon Killa]

Small text update. I have just been donated 2 mid sized atx gateway cases for this build. Completely identical. Thats what I call awesome. I might be able to get a third if I need it.

Update No. 3
So I've gotten started on making the mounts for the HDDs.

I am using tops to old mid sized atx cases for these.

The basic idea of what I want.

I need to make these holes.

So I grabbed some paper.

And made a template.

Now to copy onto plate number 1.

Vents added. And so you know where I am bending at.

Right now I have one of them about half finished. But I have to run off to school. GAH SKOOLZ!!! But I believe that an update might be up tonight of the finished pieces.

cool i like

bloody school gets in the way of modding...

[Karbon Killa]

Yes it does... lol. I ended up not being able to finish the hdd mounts, because I was called into work. Sucked, but a little more money next paycheck. Off to school again. *sigh*.

Text update.

Those HDD mounts I was making weren't going to do it for me, i ended up messing both sides up a hell of a lot. So I took both the HDD mounts out of the Donor cases I got. Also I chopped one of the cases in half, so I could use the half to make the case have a bottom mounted power supply, sorry, I didn't get pictures on doing that. Will take pictures soon for those.

Also, looky at what came in today!!!

Swiftech MCR320. I was so thrilled that this came in today. Next I have to order all the fans, the rad grill, and the rest of the water cooling loop.

That's a big rad, and a good one. You wont regret it.

So, after a long while of cold over here in Oregon, I have an update on this mod. One from about a month ago that I forgot to post. And one from about 3 days ago.
About a month ago, I did some measuring, I found out that my front bezel wasn't tall enough. About 1" not tall enough.
Bezel

Case

So that needed some modding to fix it. So I took some of the plastic material I used to make the sides for the bezel, and I measured, cut, measured, cut, and then finally came out with these pieces.

Can you guess what I did next? Lets let the pictures do the talking.

So now, the top is going to be rounded. It is still in some need of sanding, and more bondo work. But once I get a warm sunny day, that will be done. Then the front bezel will be near completion.

Now for the next update as of a couple of days ago.
I felt like the MCR320 was just kinda sitting around the garage doing nothing. So I decided it was time to cut out the mounting spot for that beast. So I placed it on the top did some measuring, and got to drawing and cutting.

And the finished product.

And.

I swear that damned dremel hates me sometimes.
There was only one problem with the top that still needs fixing, there is 2 layers to the top of this case.

So on that warm day I was speaking of earlier, this will get finished too.
Hope you all are still following. This project is NOT dead. Just working on the funds for both this and Fish Tank Media Center. Which that one has more priority over this one. So, until next time. Happy modding.
