Fellow Pink Floyd fans, this is our mod!

We might not have the budget/sponsors but we have the spirit.
I might not be a professional but when I paint my Condo I do a pretty good damn job.. I built a nice Coffin for my dog, was damn proud that I did it by hand. ANyway, yes that was one Sweet Case, and Yes, I think its cool modding has come along so far and that most of us was there when it first started.
Thats something no-one can take from us!! :) :)

Amen brotha!

<E-hifive>

:D

Not everyone may have the tools at hand they need to do a job they are capable of doing themselves. If you need to take a part somewhere else to do something to it, as long as you do the work yourself, and not have some one else do it for you, I still consider that self made.

Case in point, if I had to weld something on a case I was modding, and had to take the case to my dads house to use his welder, but did the welding myself, it's still a pure mod.

So while we're compiling the compendium on catagorization of modding, is it still okay if I use a CNC machine (of any type)? What if I write all the g-code? :p

That's totally sweet.

NO!

:p

You have to build the CNC machine first ;)

I agree that modding is a 'personal' thing, kinda like building a computer yourself. It gives you a sense of satisfaction like 'Look at what I did! I rule!" :cool:

But in some senses I can see where having someone else help out would be acceptable, kinda like what Un4given said about using tools or a proper environment.
I can also see getting 'help' from someone who has the knowledge in an area that I may not. Using Un4given's example again, if I wanted to weld something, I personally would need someone to help me out; show me the ropes and help me if I'm in a jam because I've never welded before.

Although I don't think I'd ever have anyone do a mod 'for me'; maybe 'show me' and I'll mod it myself, ya know? ;)

Regardless, that case is still friggin' amazing. The best part is that the hammer on the top is a handle! :p

Writing your own motion control software is legit as long as the servos come out of busted cdroms and your plotter/compiler is an overclocked PIII or above with ccfls and the CNC chuck housing has a plexi window for gear viewing.

BTW zack, your welding helmet needs a paint job too. I've personally been turning my head to this violation, but people around here are starting to talk....:p

Well, I'm not much of an artistic painter. Not to mention my welding helmet get a lot of abuse between liking to have my nose 6 inches from the torch, welding out of position, and just throwing it around. The helmet you've seen isn't the one I'm using right now. I got a new auto-darkening one a few months ago with *4 sensors* and an extra tall window. I can't even block the sensors if I try now. And, what would I paint on my helmet anyway?

Oh yeah... ;)

And that mod (if you can call it a mod...see above discusions) is pretty sweet, though I do agree with what people have already said...DO IT YOURSELF! :D

I agree with James, sometimes you have to let someone else do something for you. I have done alot of things in my life, but I have never tried to etch glass so it would be out of my range. Besides the fact I don't have the tools to do it. I do as much as I can-have tools for. I would never slack any one for having a couple things on a mod being outsourced. It is all in the idea and getting it done. The idea is doing as much as you can yourself.

A very nice job, nice mod. I'd like to do one with a Pink Floyd "Animals" motif, or Zeppelin "Physical Graffiti", etc.

Shite, the possiblities are enormous!

I apologize for bumpin an old thread, but I just wanted to say Thank you :)

ironicly enough I am listening to PFloyd right now, kind of funny that I come across this post.


I saw the case in a magazine like a year ago, and was dumbstruck then, but it was only two-three pics, didn't know it was at HardOCP.

Thanks for the link,

Oh for all you FLOYD FANS,

93.3 WMMR in Philadelphia, on Sid Barrets birthday played "WISH YOU WERE HERE" the VINYL!

Every week day at 2PM, Pierre (DJ) plays a record, !not cd! of a random artist, but on this day he did a dedication for Sid, and Pink Floyd.

IT WAS BLOODY AWSOME! in a day of CD's and digital audio etc, it was sweet to hear an old crackly, popping vinyl album.

THAT TIS BE MUSIC TO ME EARS.

PINK FLOYD!!!!

Dude, get yourself a decent turntable and some records. Sounds WAY better than any digital crap.
