I know i will never be able to participate on a contest anymore,
time is no longer in my option, but it was an awesome experience
and THANKS A LOT Tazgt and everyone else for putting the fire of
the case modders in my heart !!

A+

did u cut the design out?

Did the desing on Autocad, took me 3 weeks to find a shop with a laser cutting machine able to read autocad DXF with a precision of 1/64 inch. And allow me to use it for a non industrial production :p

:eek: A+ FOR EFFORT
A+ FOR PRESENTATION
A+ FOR PRODUCT

You got yourself a triple-A computer ;)

lol for a second there I thought you dremeled that sh!t. The design is pretty damn sweet.

Looking good man! Came out quite nice. Congratulations on the screamin machine! :) :D

I give you a B+, sorry, if u cut it out with a dremel would've been an A+ :)

A for the whole case mod (the B+ lowered it from A+)

Wow. Simply beautiful you must have spent a great deal of time on it and it shows. I give it an A+ because I could never do such a thing.

Bah!

I had to learn how to work with Photoshop, Illustrator and Autocad, its not that easy :p

Dremel was impossible, it would have done an ugly work and i wanted it to be perfect :)

Thanks for the cool comments!

That was a superb job.. The Power Supply Sleeving looks goo, and the Laser Cut is Awesome. What did you use to attach the window.

Love that ANTEC Case!!

Epoxy.

Had to Scratch the aluminium a lot, and the window too where
the aluminium touch it so the glue could have a better hold.

The window is Lexan, its harder than plexi-glass, it was very hard to scratch.

Kit that's really slick I like it alot :)

:cool:

very cool

i have a true blue, 9800 pro, and a volcano 12 too :)

No matter how it was accomplished, that is beautiful! Good work, Kit.

One thing to note, the hardest thing to do in a case mod IMO is Hiding/Sleeving the wires. Its incredibly hard to hide them. It took me easylly more than 30 hours to sleeve/shrink tube that crap out.

Especially when you are beyond 4-5 peripherals.

For my case,

3 fans
2 HardDisks
1 CD rom
1 Floppy
4 Temp Sensors
1 CCFL Light
1 Fan Controller
Power Supply connected to the Vid Card and Sound Card

It was a good challenge :)

Yeah, sleeving and hiding cables in a case is almost like an art-form - it takes a while to 'perfect' your craft, but once you do it looks damn good. ;)

Great job, BTW! :cool:
