dude you have got some uber jigsaw skills..

any tips on blades etc? gonna have to get past my obsession with the dremel.

steveo · 14 Apr 2006 at 17:14

u just cant beat a dremel lol

but yea agree with matt100 on this uber skill

Active 95 · 14 Apr 2006 at 19:22

Thanks for the comps guys

the cutter i use most is like a knurled cutter (will post a pic as soon as photobucket is back up) it cuts through most things pretty easily, i trim fibreglass for a living so cutting grinding shaping is part of my job so it's just an extension of that i reckon

Active 95 · 14 Apr 2006 at 20:01

ok here's the cutter i use

and the latest case update

And my next job

Awsome

The fan looks in scale to with the rest of it

OV3RCLOCK3R · 14 Apr 2006 at 21:10

That looks excellent. I had one of these cases before in black (free

) but didn't keep it long because it was too big for me so traded it for a black praetorian instread

That is looking really nice, some impressive work going on there.

Extended the cables to the bulgin switch today and tested it, works fine, and spent a bit of time braiding. Going to get some more ambers next and braid them and make a little board and glue 4, 3 pin fan extensions to it and site it behind the motherboard tray for the ambers.

What do you mean?

matt100 · 21 Apr 2006 at 23:16

OK,

just got one of these myself, a silver one which is being anodised black outside AND inside

3 x 120.1 rad in the roof, 1 each for the gfx cards and one for the cpu/nb..

Still slightly concerned about the hole cutting because I want to cut out almost the entire footprint of the rad NOT the fan, so large square holes.

Can anyone give me some pointers before I grab the dremel and cover the bodge with a fan grill?

pictures size too big?

OMG all I can say is WOW

The fact you used the stock fan rivets for the window and fan is enougth but the cuts you did are just awesome

I havent got the balls to cut my lian-li's

Active 95 · 22 Apr 2006 at 13:03

made up and braided the top usb ports, took me ages to solder but worth it

Decided on an aluminium mesh grill for the fan and had to thin the plastic on the corners of the fan for the rivets to fit

need a trip to OC now for some more fans

DaveMac · 22 Apr 2006 at 13:14

Have you tried fitting the grill on the inside, reckon it would look neater especially with such clean cuts, and would match the window.

Does the top USB block the top 5 1/4 bay, or have you modded the connector block?

Yep it does but i'm hoping i can put a fan controller in the top bay, will have to get one to find out if it's a problem. The mesh grill is the one i was going to put on the window

need to get another one now

i've put it on the top because of inquisitive grandkids I have 3 ranging from 1-6 yo, so i think better safe than sorry for now

Active 95 · 22 Apr 2006 at 13:27

sorry DaveMac just realised what you meant will still protect fingers... will give it a go and see how it looks

Active 95 · 22 Apr 2006 at 13:36

so what do you reckon is it better on the inside? will need to remove a bit of the ally to neaten it up

Noni · 22 Apr 2006 at 13:38

Yeah on the inside, and maybe bent the mesh so that the top is flush.
