Rebox case

[bugeyewrx]

As I've just finished my rebox project I thought I'd post up some pictures in here

Project log is here

My log on Bit-tech that has a bit more info is here

Hardware installed .

I've tried out some other colours .... I've only made a couple of each . I like the other colours although I think the white one shows the join between the cover and the front panel a little too much .

That is bloody brilliant for anyone who wants everything onboard! Awesome design.

Philly, get some of these bad boys knocked out.

Thanks

circular hole to the right of the i/o panel in the second pic

If the mobo's got on board power the power connection would be on the I/O back plate . If you use a separate pico psu then yep the hole is for the power connector

Aaaaaaaaaaa. So guessing its an external power brick and some sort of 20pin motherboard and 4 pin (also for motherboard) plus sata power connectors adaptors?!?!

If you use a board with on board power then it comes with a connector to provide power to the hdds etc . If you use a separate pico psu then the sata power comes from that . Both options use a laptop brick to supply the dc volts

@bugeyewrx can I ask where you purchased the case on/off switch from please? I would love one of these buttons in my arcade machine.

Thanks!

I bought them direct from the manufacturer but unless you want twenty of them they won't be much help The switch I've used is very similar to ones from Lamptron and Bulgin .... just google 'anti vandal switch'

He'll be rich next month

I wish

Email? about the fans ? just replied sorry for the delay

Lol .

OP's design, im just modding the design for me. If anyone wants a laser cut custom one, go to the OP! If the OP wants to 'license' me to make some, then fair enough! I live in fear of people ripping off my designs of my products, so I would never (knowingly) do it to someone else!

Thanks Phillydee very nice of you to post that up

Sent you an email in trust from the mm

These look amazing! Job well done!

Thanks

If I were you I would try and get this design registered in some way or another. I reckon a manufacturer or 2 might try to copy it!

I must admit I don't know much about registering designs etc but from what I understand it's a bit of a minefield and enforcing it is just about impossible .

When it comes down to it this whole thing is really just a bit of fun

looking forward to the raspberry pi rebox

Impressive KiiYzOo exactly 14 mins after I started the thread on Bit-tech

Man, be awesome if you could build a system around that size with a graphics card (Laptop cards made for PCIe would do nicely) & a powerbrick would look awesome. Perfect for taking places. That what sucks about mini-dtx dieing, they took powerbricks by default. I have been nuts about really small systems lately.

Already did linky

Well this case came about because I couldn't face making another one of those All that 10mm clear perspex is just a bit labour intensive

 

[bugeyewrx]

Yeahhh I know. It was really a quick thing at 1am xD

I don't know what the screws are so I could spray them but I don't know if it will work >_>

The screws are stainless steel You could paint them with with pretty much any spray paint . Just be careful not to fill the allen socket . When you refit them the paint might chip out of the socket but you can touch them up by spraying the paint into a small cup and then using a small brush

Just to say - great! I got one of these, and am impressed. Well made little case. I intend to laser cut a new front panel in silver, lets see how it turns out! No idea if everything fits of course . . . .

I can't wait to see too I'm working with some mirrored acrylic for a job and I did wonder what a completely mirrored case would look like
