Nice work man! Keep it up

[thechoozen]

Thanks a lot for your comments!


in the last days i was very busy but here are some small updates:


first i build an elevator which i will later hotwire with my lpt port or an interface for the lpt port so that i can use the holes for every level of the building as an indicator for the cpu load...........

then i build a small cover where i will build in some buttons for opening / closing the front door....it will be placed on the groundplate of the case in the later progress....

after that i add some details to the front of the case....

and last a complete picture of the whole case....so that you can take a look on the overall progress....

Just a question, are you going to make this whole thing out of wood?

[Scotty]

amazing mod, just remember wood expands and contracts according to mositior and heat, so give it a bit of room.

cant wait to see it done

Yeah I was wondering the same thing. It looks like everything is particle board. Just how heavy is this beast :p.

Dude this is looking great, I love the way you've put so much detail INSIDE the case. Can't wait to see what happens next.

This is a very cool idea. I have wanted to do something like this for a while, but don't have the money or resources to do it. Using wood seems like a good idea to if you're not planning on moving the case... otherwise it will get pretty heavy. But seeing this is making me think of using wood for parts on a case too.

[Canadian Eh?]

Very cool, But if i were you, i'd use metal, possibly the wavy kind to make it look a bit like the outside of a hangar and then use some rust paint to make it look aged and weathered

[thechoozen]

Just a question, are you going to make this whole thing out of wood?

yes and no.....the inside of the case is made of metal....some of the outside parts like the front and the upper sidepanels are made of wood, because i want this heavy look it makes....

here some more pictures from my latest work on this mod.....

at the moment i´m making the last details so that every motorized door works like it should and after that i´m going to complete the paintjob.....
(after it i will post more pictures of the complete progress)
