Now that My Sister's Computer is done, It is time to make to make one for My Dad. His
500 Mhz P3 can only do so much.

I ran into this case at Frys, It was an open box so I got it for $ 10.00.
The case is made by Linkworld ( ?? :confused: ?? ). It is quite an odd design. The side panels are only large enough to slip a Mobo into the case. There are small plastic covers in front of the others that cover the Cages,

This POS is going to be interesting and a challange to make look nice.

I am going for the industrial look. Lots of Metal . Stainless steel , Titanium look maybe?

I am still planning it out,

I picked up some mesh today.

Did that PSU come with the case? If so, could you provide a picture of the label? :)
 
i really like the look of that braided hose it gives me alot of ideas how i could tidy my case
 
Well, Its the 4th of July. All my Friends are out getting hammered. I dont Drink anymore so it gives me some time to work on the project. I stripped the Case down to the cage. And started cutting into the bezel. I put the Bezel down behind me and started to coat the case in paint stripper. I forgot where the Bezel was , stepped back and * SNAP!!! * stepped on the bezel and it broke into 3 bits :mad: . I was so pissed that I drove up to compusa to look for another cheap case. I got there and remembered the guy that made the case called The " O " for his son. I remember him making an all mesh front bezel, and I decided to do the same. So i am not going to give up on this thing . I picked up a new HSF and Case fan while I was there .

By the time I got home the paint stripper evaporated, so I threw on a new coat.

Melt Damn it!

While I let that set in and Fry, I sleeved the HSF and the Case fan.

I got done with that and went outside to check on the the paint. I dryed so I started to scrape off the Crap. It only got about half the thickness off, so on goes another coat of paint stripper to let sit for an hour.

I grabbed the plastic side panels that cover the Drive screws and decided to cut them out and put mesh in the center.

Ye-Old Dremel will make short work of these.

This is what it will basically look like. I am not going to put the mesh in place untill I paint.

I am having a hard time finding a " Titanium " looking type paint. If you know of any, let me know Please! :)

I am done for now. I need to take some measurements and research the design of my new
front bezel.

See you soon.

:)

Its a 300W Powmax , I dont know about this thing :rolleyes: . I tested it out by sticking it in my OCing test box. I stressed the whole system and it cut off twice. I then put in an OEM 200W Hipro ( my back-up PSU ) and it ran for 12 hrs with no problems .


I might put one of these 350W Antecs in. ( I have one sitting right here :) )

Powmax PSUs are called that way because they like to go 'pow', if you know what I mean. Much like a Deer (PSU) in an oncoming truck's headlights :eek:

The Antec will probably be fine, though :)
 
True those Powmax PSUs suck.
Here is a Link of how the front bezel I going to look. The project is called the " O ''


I am not going to copy the front bezel, but this is basically how I will construct it.
