Man... this thread makes me want to buy a VooDoo system.

i'm impressed

Nice work guys! Anyone have any experience working with mirrored plexiglass? (for the lazy amongst us ) McMaster-Carr has some just under 1/8" and 1/4" thick plexi with mirrored finish that might work well blinging out the inside of a case.

Why don't you just place a mirror on the bottom?

Now that my good man makes much more sense!

I was going to write hay don't stop now . A little more elbo grease and you could get a mirror like finish. Very pleased to see that YOU said to self Hay I am half assing it.

Looks great now. I made a lot of money doing aluminium wheels for 18 wheelers. But I thought a few were a little off on the time required to do the job.

As for mirrors on an aluminium case thats lazy- Unless your going for some sort of illusion were angles of refraction mean everthing.

Hi all I am new and this is my first post.

The first time I saw the VooDoo System basically made me want to get into computers and modding.

I found this link on YOUTUBE that shows more highend on how to polish out aluminum. LINK http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuPTM...elated&search=

Also I personally use a pool acid type of cleaner at my work and do a quick wipe of the aluminum followed by a wet rag. Using the acid takes out the oxidation from the ulminum then I polish it out. Makes it easier on my old elbows.
I work for a Major Gas company driving a fuel truck in L.A for a living. I know polishing.

This thread is making me want to go wax my car lol...

if you have some gonads, you can always wetsand it with HIGH grit (ie. 2000+), then polish it.

Thanks. =) Nothing like being honest with yourself..and it was true, I was half-assing. Now I'm more than satisfied with my work.

As for mirrors on an aluminium case thats lazy-

My sentiments EXACTLY. I see no advantage to this other than not spending the time and effort. I'm just not into tacky mods like that. Bringing out the inherent beauty in a case is alot more satisfying and attractive.

Welcome to the forums =)

You and I are similiar as far as VooDoo PC's go. They impressed me like no other system builder and was the catayst for me getting into PC modding and building, they take case design and integration to an unparalled level. Now, I'm not satisfied with any build unless its super clean and manicured and I don't understand why other boutique builders aren't as articulate as VooDoo -all other boutique builders are simply a far second in my opinion.

Interesting concept on the acid, that may be a little more than what casual modders are willing to risk..

I found the prep cleaner/acid to remove the oxidation from the aluminum. Its called MAGIC MIX after you clean area with this stuff wipe it down with a wet rag, then use any polish you want to polish out. I am telling you guys it saves you half the time with this stuff. I just got done polishing some stuff inside my new case amazing..

i sanded my my middle divider in my lian li v2000 started @ 800 move up to 1200,1500 then 2000...

Took me a good 2hours of work....sanding done moving onto polishing....

I hope i did it correctly...I made sure there was plenty of clean water...added dishwashing liquid and Stayed on each grit for about 25mins....

well i'll get onto the polishing now...

cheers

[disruptfam]

ok after 2 hour's of polishing it's not even near a nice mirror finish..
