My first modded case

Acceleron · 27-December-05, 01:30 PM

This is my first foray into the world of modding.

The window is a piece of 8"X10" Lexan, held in place with Super Glue. The grill is made of wire mesh that I took out of a charcoal filter I found at Home Depot. I did all my cutting the my new Dremel. The case is an Antec SLk1650b.

I was really surprised at how easily and smootly everything went. It only took me about 3 hours total work time.

It's a good start - your window edges look good & square, & it's size/shape mean it doesn't show off the drive cages

I'm sure you realise there's a whole lot more you can do ... you've come to the right place for help if you want it - here's some bits on sleeving for a start : http://forums.pcapex.com/showthread.php?t=36000 + http://guides.pcapex.com/modding/psu...lish_style.php

the list of possibilities is almost endless.

I was thinking the same thing about not being able to see the drive cages.

It definitely isn't finished. I do need to clean up the wires a bit still and I'm going to be upgrading to a 120mm fan in the front and then possibly painting the chassis to compliment the black.
