First dremel mod

[kleinee]

so i just figured out my dad had a dremel and my friend and i decided it was time for some hardcore case mods! We got it going and removed the fore and aft fan grillz. I have an x-crusier case by aspire and it had 2 80mm fan grillz in front but the grill on the case door was a 120mm so we dremeled the 80s out and now a nice blue 120 sits there! in the back the holes in the metal were small so i got rid of it and my temps have gone down a lot. I will include some pics of the finished product. i will get Some pics of the during when i get my other camera back. i had a great time doing it and encourage anyone with a dremel to start adding some personality to your case p.s. the cd drive looks so cool when spinning

Dude I think I saw you post about this on the OC forums. good work but draw out your lines first it iwll help a ton.

Got this one when we were at your place

Nice job.

But for projects like making fan holes, it is much easier, and comes out cleaner if you use a hole saw instead.

Bucking up cash of a hole saw is rough is your young and already have a dremel handy but that's just my take.

[cantankerous]

did you get your G15 solid black or did you paint it? All the G15 I have seen including mine is silvery up ton with black on the sides. The all black looks much better imo.

[KingThot]

Yeah, good call. I've never seen an all black G15 but it looks much better.

[mukmaster]

me and kleinee pained it black. took 5 coats though

safety goggels are for whimps.

Good point. The 125mm ones are around $30

safety goggles rule, I cut a 80mm fan exhaust for my case and had a steel shaving in my eye for a couple days, worst experience ever.

dude the g15 mod was really fun to do but took a while. if you want to try it i can send you guys some links and pics of how to do it. (the lcd is really hard to put back in though) thanks for the compilmentsPS: muk helped a lot.

Hehehe safety goggles for wimps? When I soldered something without safety goggles, some of it exploded and it got stuck on the skin that is right between my eyes. When I was messing around with a drill, a tiny piece of copper that had a pointy end and was in a spiral shape flew out and almost hit my eye. I didn't realize what would've happened to my eye if I didn't have those goggles until I saw that little piece of metal...

Yeah, safety goggles are a neccesity. I also got a metal shaving in my eye cutting steel at work. I figured since I had glasses I would be fine. That was a mistake. It was a miserable experience.
