Hello there I got an awful lot of cutting done yesterday. but not yet done.

Wile talking to an fellow employee today at work I decided not to laser cut anything. We agreed that the Soul or character of an Object is in the imperfections that the maker of the object left. With this in mind I'll be crafting everything myself from sheet metal or I should say sheet brass.

now on to what I have done.

Since some of you warned me for the hard time I would get cutting my P182. I decided to drill an awful lot of holes with my drill-press to weaken the P182, on the places I would be cutting anyway. This also helped me keep the length I was making noise(next door they have a newly born and I am on a good foot with my neighbors).

Thats how I feel about modding too, imperfections keep it human made & completely unique .
I'm like that about the noise & neighbors too, I should put some sound proofing in the garage so I can mod away at any time, would be able to get so much more done & would be my best mod to date lol .

Project looks like it will turn out to be an awesome case. I have one question for you; I have a P183, and I will be modding the top panel to accomodate a 180mm exhaust fan. How were you able to remove the top plastic piece to expose the metal underneath?

@Juicebox
The top plastic piece is fastened by a layer of double sided tape/film. if you slowly insert a screw driver between the metal an plastic it should give way I had removed it in about 15 to 20 min. my advice take it very slow since you cant replace it easy. i have 1 a 2mm thick double sided tape from my work to re fasten it later.
I hope it helps.
