Bought me self a case mod kit for £15 the other day. Then I set about my case with the jigsaw (a new good quality blade makes all the difference) and found the job suprisingly easy... apart from putting the fekin glass in the rubber seal then the rubber seal in the cutout in the case lid..... damn I though bike tyres were a pain in the ass :-)
I'm just waiting on the cathode light for inside then all will be complete.... well apart from a neon CPU fan and a blowhole fan in the top.

I managed to bork the rubber seal tho :x its only really noticable with flash photography :lol:

when you DIY it you have to have the seal really, to compensate for inaccuracies, altho my cut was to the millimetre :-) if you have a 50 tonne press handy and a jig then you could stamp the hole out to about 100th of an inch with no need for the seal :-)
BTW, for the next lan I'm havin either a luminous matrix display in my 5-1/4 inch bay or a TACO-meter (just like a car RPM dial) that has a readout that is linked to CPU utilisation..... :smash: :thumbsup:
Nice job Stryker... :D :D

dMw SAFETY TIP Number 113:
When cutting out the top blow hole, always remember not to jigsaw through your flatbed scanner :D

I disagree. If your gonna sit a flatbed scanner over your blowhole, it needs to have a hole in it otherwise it's a waste of time...
:roll:
All you need now to finish the job is a full on Evo III bodykit, 4 inch magnex 'zorst and slammed on 18's. Then you'd be ready to go cruising for some chicks in your fully mod'ed beast. :smokin:
Either that or a new keyboard..... :wink:
Thanks for the saftey tip tea leaf, the scanner has been moved as I just know I'd forget :-)
AGA, I've got a new keyboard and mouse, wireless. Memorex wireless keyboard and mouse set £19.99 from scan, special offer deal, front page I think.
oh and in case anyone didnt beleive me about the tachometer see the link below

nice 1 stryker, the only thing i have against it is that rubber!!!!
urghhh, wtf why do people insist on puttin that horibbe thick rubber on it looks like a bike tire, i much prefur to have a thin rubber mold, if u have to have the window removable then mount it on velcro or summin like that behind.
my thoughts too sheepy.
The hole I cut is near perfect so I could get away with just some chrome brade around the edge...
FWIW getting the perspex in the rubber and the rubber in the hole was as hard as getting a bike typre back on the rim :-)
sum chrome would look cool, or some very fine rubber, the type done by ccm is good

i found sum super bright laser LED's that are 3x the size of normal led's,
WIN, and i can get em cheep, they r ment for sad people that mod there cars to go in the grill or on the gear stick,
i no the owner of the shop of i can get em trade price, a bit of rewireing and they will fit several in to a molex connector, there are also multi coloured ones that change colour after a few flashes [WIN] :D :D
Heehee, here is the only pic I have of my now lit case by night :-)

more (better) shots to follow. Problem is the camera just does not do the nice even erry green glow justice :lol:
after TL advice on my cables at the LAN i have just reorganised my cables so that they are less messy and are now mainy hidden and i have replaced my cathode securing it with velcro to the bottom of the case, look much better now and as soon as my LED array is placed [when i get it] my case will look pukka,
this saturday I'll be takin pics in natural like with the cathode on.... should get best results out of me camera.
you too sheepy!
