69% BURNT - First update
69% BURNT by Stievius
For the contest of the Dutch hardware and casemodding-site BouwEenPc.nl, a DVD-drive needed to be modded. They didn't really give a lot of instructions, so we were free to make just about anything. I choosed to make an external drive using acrylic as basic material, which is to be lit up with (blue?) leds. I started from zero, with really no basic concept. By just drawing some shizzle onto the acrylic..
Front and Side Panel
First time mod by Toonook
The front was harder than it looks, first I wanted the front to come off and there was no where to attach the metal panel to the front panel. So I had to pop rivet the metal panel to the case 30mm behind of the front panel, so a lot of bending and bending and more bending, I..
The Bumper
The Brick top by Me2k
he front curved edge of the Bricktop, nicknamed the "bumper" is made from a 470mm piece of drain pipe cut length ways. The only problem with the drain pipe is its made from µ-PVC; which happens to be a positive conductor of static electricity and when rubbed it stores a static charge. To solve this problem I will be connecting a bare unpainted part of the pipe to the ground..

Project Frostbyte by Karsithe
Alright, first thing to mention is that I've ordered some more acrylic, so I'll have to start over with that. The stuff I had ordered turned out to be really pale, which I was just going to go with until I found that Hindleys had fluorescent blue acrylic. That's what I'd had in mind for the project from the start, but had been unable to find, so I figured..

Last leg: The rear I/O panel.
Building with Acrylic: A SFF excursion by Syrillian
The last panel to fabricate is the rear panel. The components are already in the case, so I measure and transfer the required dimensions to the acrylic panel. I used the rotary tool for all cuts; the circle-cutting attachment for the 90mm exhaust fan, and the straight edge guide for all the other cuts.
Decisions, Decisions.
Mission Impossible by Hexsys
I haven't done much to the rig over the past couple of days. I did manage to tidy the cables up: BEFORE AFTER It's not perfect, but it will do for now. Front Panel - What to do?
