So basically I used to post on Genmay, will do every once in a while. Now that I got a case modding bug again, and have a little more patience than I did when I was back in highschool, I decided it was time to give it a go again.
In high school my first mod was trying to make a window for my computer. Without a dremel or jigsaw, that was very difficult. I ended up having to replace the entire side panel with plexiglass and screwing the plexiglass into place.
Next I tried making an entire case of plexiglass. Having no money I had to opt for the very thin stuff. So thin, that I had to Use a piece of cardboard to support it on the bottom. That was short lived, when I was going to LAN and my friends computer fell on it XD.
Next was my Gundam case, which turned out looking like more of an art project than a computer case. It was the old emachine stripped down. The computer doesn't work any more but it involved alot of bondo to create a planet-like surface, lots of paint, and 2 battle scared gundams embedded into the side of the case.
Since then, I have taken a hiatus. Using cheap Dynex, and no name cases to put my last 2 computers I've built in. Now that I have an extra Dynex case laying around I decided to attempt to mod it now that I have a better sense of how to use alot of these tools haha.
Still not having a lot of money, some tools I just can't afford. Most of my work is done with dremel and drill. I don't have 120 mm Hole saw for my drill. The bit costs $35 at home depot! Plus I need to buy another extension for it. So I dremel openings as well as I can.
