First window/dremel usage

Cow · 17-September-03, 07:19 PM

Well i did my first window, and the first time cutting anything witha dremel really(all i had done up until now was make a few horizontal cuts to see how it reacted)

Needs to be cleaned up still(need to get a smaller grinding bit to shape the feet a little better)

i used this(below) as a guide

I plan on following Lokie's window etching how to, to frost/etch/sandblast all the darker areas so its more noticeable as to what it is

then use it to practice painting a little

EDIT: I just set that next to my comps window to see the light go through it, not actually where it goes

EDITEDIT: oh yah forgot to say, if it turns out well, it will be fore my linux machine (well it would be redone as part of a "full" case mod i have been planing)

Looking good Cow. You should get yourself a decent set of rounded files for fine tuning your rounded lines etc...

Just how fast was that penguin going when it hit your case ? !

Nice work, but isn't the window a bit on the small side ?
EDIT: maybe not .. it's early here & I got confused by the firehose on your cpu cooler

If you use masking tape, it might help reduce the rough edges. Nice penguin though
