Hey guys. I upgraded my rig to a TJ06
and have questions.

I'm going thinking of adding

2x Handles

or

http://www.mitre10.co.nz/shop/storag...8mm_221233.cfm

just wondering what you think would be better and sturdier and would it be ok to put these in my case or will it bend the top of my case?

For the wheels im not to sure about

http://www.mitre10.co.nz/shop/storag...0mm_222100.cfm (castor)

or

http://www.mitre10.co.nz/shop/storag...0mm_222123.cfm (Rubber)

Your help would be great.
cheers

PS I love my TJ06 and it is a great case for Lanning and what I use it for so just want to make it more portable so i can carry it up the stairs easier and push it along when up the stairs.

Anybody?? or is nothing happening around here?

calm down... no need to post three times within 24 hours people see this.

I would say go with the first handle type just cause i like how it looks. and it shouldnt damage the computer, and i like the rubber casters better

Regardless of which set of casters you go with, They need paint! I saw some cool paint at Pep-Boys I wanted to try. It's colored chrome paint, or anodized paint. It looked really cool, just haven't had anything to try it on. These wheels would look great with the right paint.

What colour is the case? If it's black, maybe think about these:

(if it's silver, sand them back to the metal

I rember getting that link of you ages ago Master P but i won't use those for this project as I have got another project but thanks for the link again.

Cheers unit for your input will be going to the shop possibly tomorrow to get some bits and start modding.

if you're worried about the handles bending the top, go to home depot (or your local hardware store) and pick up some aluminum c channel or L channel. it comes pretty small (got some that is 1/2 on the A side which should leave you room for a socket if the handles bolt on) and will really spread the load without adding too much weight. if it stands too tall and doesn't leave room for the psu or optical you can use your dremmel to nock the sides (B) down to fit. i wouldn't run it the lung way, it would be a waste of material. i would cut the pieces to match the depth of your case to get the load spread as close to the edges as possible, if cut too short and your top panel material is on the thin side, the weight of the case may cause the channel to still deform the top panel. did that all make sence? (i'm a little )

So basically what you are saying is add another metal plate underneath so give it some support and keep the top from bending?

yea, that would be the short version of my original post.

Yea that was my plan, and was thinking about for a while but was unsure.
cheers

Oh God no! Not casters!! See if the Lian Li wheels will fit.
