    Very well done, this is for the CM contest as well, right? I hope you place well-we need more people really hacking cases.

    Thank you very much to all
    Yes kayin, is for the CM contest.
    I decided to reduce the front 3 cm, to have a more aerodynamic appearance.

    I have to cut the front again



    I need to change everything.

    look the inclination.


    The logo of "Hot Rod" of side was cut.

    Very nice. What did you use to make those curved cuts? Doesn't look like a cut-off disc or saw-blade cut..

    Thanks, I use the Dremel with cutting disc and great patience.
    I can not show yet but I am making a cut too complex to another case.

    thanks x88x
    I'm creating some new parts for the car.
    V8



    a new air intake. With a decoration as the vehicles of the 50's and 60's.





    Remove the feet(¿?) from the computer.


    prepare the base for the new feet.




    I created the place to put the power button on the front.


    is all for now.
    could use a Cooler Master V8, if someone wants to sponsor my work, you know what to do.

    Love the look of the scoop and the V8 logo. That would be awesome if you could get your hands on a CM V8 cooler.

    Very drool-worthy progress on this. I'm just gonna warn you: If I ever get around to getting back to work on my hot-rod idea, I am stealing soooo many of your ideas from this.

    I will also echo the other ones: Nice, clean cuts on the side.
