hi, im new to this, but an idea just sprung int my mind. i was cruzing through the web, hunting for mod ideas, and came across a anime case mod done by this guy in japan. http://www011.upp.so-net.ne.jp/kat2/pc/ern005/ekana.htm shows a semi detailed DIY guide to crafting such a pice of art. now, i do not plan on building this exact model, because then, hell id be ripping off a fellow artist work, and that just is'nt kosher!! now i happen to have a few small anime figures in my room, and i figured "hey, why not make a case like this anime figure!!" and thus the idea was born. now, this is a very long project. but i will be working on it when i have time and when i can get the camera working (my girl is a photographer, and there is almost no battery juice when i need the camera) i will have photos of the project. but i can tell you know what pc parts i will be using. im going to be using a standard size ATX mother bored by PCchips. model number M955G. it has a P4 2.8ghz CPU in it. i will be also cramming a zyxel wireless card, and a 40 gig maxter hard drive. CD/DVD drive may be installed, but will be optional (all movies and stuff are stored on a hard drive on the network) i would love inpute as i work on this project. also, im debating, if this project is a success, to build a Mammoth MKII case mod in some what the same fashion. i will be posting the picture of the two figures i be using as a reference points. you guys decide what statue to turn into a pc case. pic's will be up within the week. thanks for reading.
update:
just doing research, water cooling may be done. doubtful i will do it. if i work on it right. i can create a air flow set up. also i found a better idea. the link i showed wasn't what i could call a true case mod. this is more like my idea: http://sae.cside.com/sae/kat/pc/ern002/emaya.htm the guy used some geto rigged water cooling idea. i plan on using airflow and the fact that heat rises naturally.
ok, i have come to the conclusion that i will be using as my reference. i drew this back when i was in high school. the pc case mod will be a 3D model of this.
ruff idea of what goes where:
