Project: Monster Energy Mod

Update 2

Update 2

Hey guys

I started acting (and spending money) on this project. First I phoned up a local laser cutting company and asked how much it would be to cut out a Monster logo on the side of my case but the price was ridiculous. I also wanted a custom Monster fan grill made of aluminium but since I gave up on that idea too I decided I will make the fan grill out of acrylic because I have a laser cutter which can cut acrylic at school.

Next I bought some expanding foam and a can of Monster to experiment with.



Being inexperienced in DIY and modding I didin't cover the can.





Done it's cured



But now it's all covered in expanding foam! :o :o





What can I do to dissolve it? It's all over my hands too. I'm quite embarassed right now ::rolleyes: From what I know there isin't a substance that dissolves it but if you know any ways of getting rid of it other than using my nails please tell me. Tomorow I'm cutting the can in half at school. What would you reccomend to use to stick it to the case?


Next update expected: Tomorow (3rd December 2010)
What's next: Cutting the can in half

Thanks a lot!


EDIT!

I am happy with the case. It has actually proven to be brilliant! The only issue I have is that the HDD drive bay is restricing a bit of space and it's not easy to fit in the graphics card but once it's in it's not a problem. It looks stunning on it's own too.

Update 3

Hey, I managed to scrape all of the expanding foam off the can and my hands :D and as I promised I cut the can in half today. I also managed to do the same process with another can. Now I have 2 cans (original and ripper flavours, green and yellow logos) cut in half with foam inside as shown below.









I am going to stick all 4 flavoured cans on the side with a description in vynil underneath. Do you think this is a good idea? Also ordered (in a straight line) or chaotic (at an angle) on the case? What could I use the top for? Maybe add 4 80cm fans going down?

Next update expected: Tuesday (7th December 2010)
What's next: Cutting up 2 more cans, vynil stickers and hopefully some CAD

Personally, I disagree with your opinion of the front of the case. I think you need your eyes tested! :D

But....I like the design on that drinks can. :cool:

Why don't you make the entire front of the case semi-circular (perhaps using your foam) and then apply similar graphics from the can. If you reposition the rips and the wording, you could possibly have the wording covering the CD/DVD tray.

I don't quite understand what you mean.

What I'm envisaging is the entire front of the case being made to look like the can.

The front of the case is almost semi-circular in design already (looking from the top) and your cut in half cans are the same shape, so that's where I got the idea from.
 
As you said though it will not be easy. Also getting the proportions right will be hard. And getting it to stick before it gets hard. Paintowkr would be involved also :/ I will put it off till some other time I think.

Hey guys this isin't really an update but I just made a 2D CAD design of the stickers I want to use as I now have access to a vynil cutter :D The only downside is that I will have to wit till they get lime green vynil :/ What would you do? Wait or spend more money? Keep in mind I only have a saturday job in a PC shop/rapair centre and don't get paid much :/
