Project: Water Inside [EXTREME 56K WARNING]

[serialk11r]

You pop it in an old (or a female will kill you) oven for like 10 - 15mins and it goes all floppy and you can bend it whatever shape you want

What temperature? I don't want to throw plexi in an oven because 1. fumes 2. its expensive. Perhaps there is some other way to get one part of it heated up and floppy...

Can't remember, been years since I've done it. Wasn't awfully hot, and surprisingly wasn't all that smelly unless you're cooking it :P . You could use a heat gun, the type used to strip paint off, that would work, just heat where you want to bend.

One heck of a mod. Great job, would love to own it. Props!

Thanks!

Great job on the case and also a good job on documenting the process. Thanks for taking us along on the ride.

Thanks and you're welcome!

I wouldn't put the small rad in the back like that, because it won't be getting fresh air. But WOW that work is awesome!!! How did you bend the plexiglas? Did you heat it up? I never knew you could bend it :P

I know i know, but there was no other way. ill simply have to lean the case until the rad is somewhat airless.
Thanks
I put the plexiglas in a wise with wood between, so i wouldn't scratch it. Then I kept a steady preassure to the piece that i wanted to get bent, whilst I heated the bendingarea with the heatinggun

wow amazing job

Thanks!

That is freaking amazing and Xtreme. Congrats. I love the super-glossy, reflective black and the nice polished metal. The only problem I have with the door is that I didn't see a vent for the front fan in the door. I would think it would be awkward to keep the door open the entire time the computer is on... or if you don't, the fan does pretty much nothing.

Other than that, it looks great. I would definitely buy a case that looked that awesome if i saw one.

Thanks
Don't worry, if you look at the bottom of the frontframe, you will se a gap. It is about 7-8mm space between the frontinterior plexiglas and the aluminum front, so there is no problem.

Oh.. my.. god. You my friend, are the most talented and devoted case modder I've seen!

Please, more pictures soon! /subscribed a million times over.

Haha, thanks thanks! You will get more pictures, i promise. The hardware isn't even installed yet, and the exterior isn't finished quite yet, but almost

wow! looks great.

Thanks

Nice job man ! Great Mod!

Thank you

love the polished aluminum and stainless steel, very cool mod

Me too, thanks

Excellent work!

Out of curiousity, where does everyone keep getting those sketchup models of hard drives, motherboards, etc. Did you make your own or is there a site where I can go and just download certain models of certain products?
