[case mod] - 'Downtown'

[ToddK]

Just thought I would share my case mod project. Hope you like it.

Started with gutting the case and mocking up the light box.

Building out the light box.

Initial mockup starting to look like what I envisioned.

Got some crafter's foam to work on the outside.

Side panels done! Lighting test looking good.

 

[ToddK]

Moved the HDD/Power lights to the roof as Aircraft Warning Lights. Re-mounted power & reset buttons on top too.

Painting done. Time to reassemble.

Riveted the case back together.

Part of the challenge is figuring out where all those little pieces go again...

 

[ToddK]

All set. Taking some photos.

Hope you like it!

Renovations!

Most of the external work is done, now on to some of the plumbing (so to speak). Some new parts arrived this week. Some for taking better pictures and some gear for inside the case.

CPU & memory are on order. Also looking into a PSU and some cooling. Hoping to get it all into the box soon.

whats the camera accessories for?

I've been trying to address some troubles I've had taking decent pictures with the camera. Most of the pics are actually from my phone.

I think I have things settled now. All of the mobo pics are from the camera.

Project complete! Final update on pics.
