i see them, im still anticipating what will happen with the speakers. thamks for the info also, im trying to see all the tools that one would need to do a truly professional mod like yours.

Woohoo, I can see the eye candy. Those built in speakers will look AWESOME!!! Cool idea.
Did not have much time to work on the case last weeks, but this week I can show you a small update. I had to solve the problem with the airducts in the top of the case. Needed to use acrylic because the ducts will to guide the air to the outakes on top of the case, but the acrylic is transparant, so when you have a close look through the openings of the outtakes, you would be able to see through. So there where the MeshX has to come in.
Also had to fabricate some aluminium pieces to mount the harddiskbox.
It's not finished yet, need to drill a hole to attach the springs to the mountingpoints. I'm working hard to close all the sides of the case. Hope I can show you a closed case in a few weeks.
What the hell are you Dutch guys drinking? You seem to make the coolest damned mods around these days! Looking fantastic Franklin!!!

I agree with jbdnsn, this is a truly fantastic mod. How did you find the MeshX to work with? I have ordered a sheet of the silver stuff for my mod (were sold out of black haha) and was just wondering how easy it was to cut/bend and what tools you used to do so.

Heineken is originally Dutch. Do i need to say more?
And today there was a article in the newspaper that our drinking water has medicines in it since they can't filter them all out.
You could have used dark acrylic as well, i'm wondering why mesh? Since the airducts in the case were made out of dark acrylic as well.
I used mesh someday with sanded plexi beyond, illuminated with some led's. That looks great too.

I was thinking about frosting the acrylic and adding some light, but I first want to look what it will look like without that, because it will barely be visible ofcourse.
The PSU will be mounted with the normal screws at the back but it will need some additional support. A sheet of 2mm AC Ryan aluminium is all I need. First draw the part.
Saw it with my scroll saw.
Time to see if the part fits.
Looks ok.
The aluminium parts for the PSU also look good in combination with the harddiskbox.
The reason that I mount the PSU on its side is that I want to show the best side of the PSU and also make the cables visible. Sometimes cables even look good and I think that these will look good.
Wow thats some nice stuff. I like the way this is coming together. Is this area with the PSU and HD box going to be open or covered with plexi or something?
Yeah that's some really nice stuff. Great work so far, can't wait to see this bad boy when it's all done.
