project flammable

[onelegout]

nice! one question: What do you fill the holes with? I want to do something similar but dont know what to use!

[onelegout]

Oh, and by the way, I THINK that compUSA (is that what its called?) sells fan grills of the flammable logo! I have one somewhere it was the first 'mod' that i ever did about 2 years ago

I have seen those also on other sites. I think xoxide has them and frozencpu.com

hmmmmmm buying a fan grill would be much easier then trying to make my own i might have a look for that, and for filling the holes i just used bondo and some glazing putty is seems to have worked well...guess ill find out once i actually get around to putting some primer on it but thats after i do a few more things

[Rankenphile]

Found one.

well i have done verry little on this project in the last few days because i am sick with the flu about all i have done is decided to no put the hub in because im going to get a fan controler that comes with some usb ports so that will go in instead also i have drawn up a sketch of what the fan grill im going to make will look like....its kinda going with my theme but not really it will be a no smoking sign i havent decided what im going to make it out of yet though its either going to be froseted plexi, just regular flat metal painted, or 3d metal/some other plastic. it will probibly be a wile before anything gets painted or anymore bondo goes on because its really cold here with the snow and all and not having a garage but i will try and see if i can turn the little shed in the back yard into somekinda painting booth. but yea just an update on whats going on wiht this i guess. oh and my cpu fan seems to have developed a really annoying rattle its probibly just loose though so next time i have it apart ill check that out and tighten it up, but for now ill just suffer with the loud noise its making

I can definately relate to the cold factor. Last time I was trying to solder, it was 22 degrees (F). Doesn't really work that well, when your hands are shaking like crazy.

Keep us posted as things develop. I like how you're approaching the theme.

I was thinking about this earlier, and wondered how feasible it might be to get a mini fire extinguisher and mount it on the top, sort of like a case handle. I don't remember if you had anything else planned for the top of the case, so it might make a nice touch.

[Prodigy]

Very nice work you did there! I am wanting to do those kind of things myself, did you use a dremel to cut out the flame on the side of the case?

[rxdrifter]

yes i used a dremel to cut out the flame it took forever and the edges are rough but it worked and im happy with it just gotta do some grinding to get everything not so sharp now

[rxdrifter]

well its been a few days since ive updated this and well not alot of progress has happend, all ive done is i make some lighted feet out of pop bottle lids and some skateboard hardware and marked some of the plastic for cutting. hopefully tommorow i will cut out and finish making the front how i want it for now and grind down all the metal cuts so there not so sharp anymore. maybe if i get things done fast enough throw on a coat of primer. and ive got an update hardware wise ive decided to upgrade this computer by gettin a new mb cpu power supply vid card and ram so hopefully i will be ordering that stuff up with in a month or so, im kinda broke from christmas gifts right now. but yea thats my update probibly will have a better one with some pictures tommorow or on the weekend
