Pc case from scratch...

[jokrand]

I get this idea when i found my first case. For log time i wanted new case but never cant buy one because iam little poor right now
So this is the case i founded:

Without that front mask which was destroyed long time ago..

First I want to make it more wider:

I also want some space to radiator:

Whoa! Nice job! I would also like to see some inside pics of the assembled rig... Will you post them?

 

[DraginDime]

Wow you put a lot of effort into that old case. Looks pretty good now. I'd never know it was the same case as before. Good work sir.

I would like to see more pics as well

Outstanding work jokrand!

Not really scratchbuilt, but an extensive, well executed mod for sure. Your sheet metal skills are very good.

"From scratch" would have been if you started with no case at all but just raw metal sheet.

Impressive work.

Can you tell us what metalworking techniques (or whatever one would call them) you used? Looks like welding and... how did you bend some of the metal pieces?

Amazing work, btw. Built practically from scratch.

what you did to that old case looks amazing! I too am looking forward to seeing everything assembled inside.

Thanks for comments! Technics i used was bending that front mask with my brother toolbox. You guys should see these curves XDD And inside the case theres nothing but HUGE dissappointment...
As you can see....

And that is dissappointment because i run out off money :'((

Just curious, jokrand, where are you from? (and in the photo with the calendar, what is that car? Looks like an old Fiat...)

 

[jokrand]

Iam from Finland and that car is volswagen

 

[starhawk]

That's one old Volks. I'm guessing it's an early VW Golf?

Also -- greetings from the US! Don't know if it counts, but back when I could afford to travel I went to Amsterdam, Zandaam (I think I spelled that right), and The Hague... pretty places all. Loved the trams and electric windmills. I realize The Netherlands isn't Finland, but that's as far as I got...
