    Default Project: Vento..

    hey guys this will be my third case on the go... it is because i have pieces of moditor scattered between two houses and i am still trying to get them all..

    so here goes... project vento
    as the name kind of states.... it will be extremely vented..

    my base case is one my uncle bought me from an auction for $2!!!!
    no pics... sorry

    well first thing i did was drew up some pics for the front bezel idea.
    this was on the 20th november



    probably cant see that pic very well..

    the next thing i did was strip the case of its parts... top, sides, bezel, fans, feet and other stuff

    then i took a trip to the shops..


    also got about 1.5m of railing stuff.. for the feet....

    here is is cut into 4 strips.



    then i taped of the side pannel... right one... left one is at dads for some reason.



    drew out a design on the side pannels.


    let me clear this up cuz some people dont get it

    the side pannel will have the three holes cut out. then there will be about 2cm raiser then an alumi plate the same shape as the hole just an inch bigger.
    this will be clear when i do it.


    also marked out the top vent

    then with my not so famous hammer and screwdriver technique i cut them both out




    that is all for now... im a bit lost so ill do another post in a bit


    total view of the case so far - feet

    i did a mock up of the front of the feet.. ie.. side feet on with the cd rom i won in the art contest.


    -face pannel

    i cut some brackets for the feet to join to... probably glue..

    they still need a little bit of sanding but they are not done


    fit like so

    then i cut 2 brackets for the cd rom to screw into
    not drilled yet..


    this is what the front will look like just with a cut out for the cd rom part


    the cd rom fits really snug

    i then marked out all 4 pieces of the feet ready for cutting



    then today at school i cut 2 of the 4 pieces.

    then did a mock up to see how they fitted





    that is all... hoping to get the second side pannel done this weekend but may not.

    enjoy
