Soo this wil be my first project and proberly the most learningsome
ill be making a photo movie or something like that that will show the entire *build. ill also add 2 pics with this post to show the case at the moment
i must say that this is just the best case to mod, perfect standard size.
45cm long 40cm high and 20cm width.
it will become a case with cut out biohazard signs and the text Anthrax painted in green on de side and top, also i will chance every led in my case for brigth/dark green led's make green led's shine trough the cut out signs
anyways for me its the first time so i can need all the help from the pro's and the less pro's *everybody is better then me *

*im just modding not building a new case
Pics:
The case normaly

Opened

Running, Gonna chance the blue led's for green ones

The Sides come off as well as the top.

AntraxLife,
Hope you guys can give me all the tips i need
*first one i need: what kinda stuff you use to paint your case*base colour?
*second one i need: How do you cut your things out of your side''panels'' without a little disk grinder?

ok so im new around here and ready to start my first mod
if youre wondering who i am: check the topic about introducing yourself, im in that one

So my idea was simple: mod my current computer
> http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/f...422#post243422

i was kinda going for painting it black with green*virus like green* Biohazard symbols on the sides and the top...
but i came with better ideas when i was beginning
at the moment im actualy cutting,drilling,sawing and trying everything i can to get the symbol *Biohazard one* on the top of my computer out.
im almost done with that and i'll be posting some pics soon
im also replacing all of the blue led's in my pc for green once's so there will be green ligth comming out of the top
once i am started you'll catch the idea but for now you all have to waite for some pic's and update's

Quick update:
I could borrow my uncle's Dremel so now it will go faster and looks better
i also made the dissision to make a side window with some 3mm plexiglass

I got one question about painting: i got some mat black paint in a can but what do i need to do before i paint it?
i took some pic's that will be in the next post
AntraxLife,

Thanks @ Zero helped me ALOT! and of course thanks for your huge confidence
my mom got a HUGE plexiglass sheet from her father *wich is now kinda dead...* and i can use it for a window its about 2m by 1,5m and 3mm thick so i have all room for error
finely some pic here me and my first time with the Dremel! i was scared when i put it on 9 or 10 for the first time

well this is a quick update, even if i can't mod, i can work and earn money for the newest thing i dicided*correct me please! * to put in: Watercooling!
i am really bad at sketchup or any programm like that so im gonna take some pic's of the drawings i did i can design but i can't make, kinda sucks... 2 of 6 exams done> tomorrow one more then 4 days of nothing and then last 3 to come... almost back to modding!! yaay

[AntraxLife]

Hoerah another update this one will be a bit disapointing seen the fact that i just had 3 exams and now have 4 days off and then the last 3
i just could sketch some new idea's out tomorrow ill be sketching out the front and then other side's i haven't thougd off
this one features a small chance in the size and overall look of the window i cut out kinda still thinking if i should frost effect the edges of the plexi...

anyways,

the middle window will get an diamond shape and the 2 side window's will be arching ober the middle one...
the red lines and area's still need to be cut out... those are as wel the area's that i just came up with
the blue one's are the one's already cut out or like the letter's still need to be cut out

i hope to get back to cutting tomorrow and the 3 days after tomorrow so i can get most of the cutting done
