Design me a window -

Don't cut up the ATC, sell it if you're not using it... they fetch enough for it to be worth while.

Anyway, I just got some bits \o/

Raikiri you thought about getting something laser cut into the panel?

Can have something better than a L-shaped window then.

Raikiri · 5 Sep 2007 at 12:24

I have. Then I looked at my bank account...

I assume you've seen my other case?

£50. Not much that.

Yeah I have.

Getting my V2K done something like this.

Well, I'll leave it for a while. I might have the money in a few weeks.

That's a bit OTT for me, although the main tribal design is nice on its own.

You've turned the HDD cage, if it's not fixed down I'd move it as near and even in front of the mobo if you can as it will reduce the airflow through the rad.

Sorted that now

DaveMac · 8 Sep 2007 at 15:19

That will do it nicely, though a bit late I was going to suggest just using anti-vibe mounts fixed to the bottom to avoid chopping the cage.

For the CPU Swiftech do Apogee blocks designed for U1 server racks, may be worth a look: http://www.swiftnets.com/products/APOGEE-1U.asp

Similar top to what is used on their graphics blocks.

Only £28 too... well in $ anyway, so add shipping, possibly VAT and it's closer to £35-40.

Done the window, need to get some of the fan edging to finish it off though.

Sorry it took so long

lazy!

File and sand, looks much nicer

Nice shaped window btw

Raikiri · 6 Oct 2007 at 17:46

I did file a bit with the dremel, someone's had my files though! (chances are I lost them... but meh).

I prefer using the edging anyway with the black case so you don't get silver on the edges.

fonetech · 7 Oct 2007 at 07:57

u should etch the window

they look great with a cathode behind

Raikiri · 7 Oct 2007 at 09:09

I do actually have a set of etching pieces for the dremel so I might have a go, really depends on if I can find a design I like.

Fan edging will give you a gap to the window material.

Black permanent marker will cover up the silver cut edge.

looks good Raikiri.

what colour window are you going to have? clear or something like red or UV?

Azza · 7 Oct 2007 at 18:06

Looks good Raikiri.

Here is what my finished window looks like if anyone is interested.

Dragon and window - acrylic
Flames and other side panel also cut where hard drive lower part is - mesh

Sorry for bringing the thread back from the dead.

I actually had a quick go today at it, I think I'll buy the proper engraving dremel though... came out ok I think, looks better irl.

It's a Kanji ('Death').
