s promised STORM'D is the second in the series of plex "theme" case mods.
Storm'd is based on the newer model Sunbeam LED UV blue plex case this time and again will feature "Bolt on" type machined plex highlights as well as some Storm features to keep it t theme case
The Sunbeam case was chosen for its extra features and the fact that its main outer structure is held together using 4 solid looking metal rails...
these shiny metal rails have a great contrast against the clear plex and will fit in nicely with what i have planned.
Due to all the "one off" fabrications that need to be done with STORM'D i won't be able to finish it as fast as PeRs-pLeXeD! but hope to have a finished product by weeks end
Sunbeam put a quality package together and you really do feel its Xmas when you get this home and open it!.....well xmas with that "ikea feel about it"!!!!
You can also see just like PeRs-pLeXeD! the main feature of the case will be its 2 dual front 120mm UV fans! this time i'm going with the purple, as this colour fits in well with the STORM theme,
NOW! @ this stage of the mod! i have 2 trains of thought about it!
the first is to use the dual 120's the other is to use Dual 80's! with 120mm outer shouds.... i will first fabricate up the 80 and shrouds as im very keen to see how this will look!
if i don't like the effect from the dual 80's then i can move onto the 120 idea.
Back to the modding
The front of the case... to give it a more appealing hevier look will get a custom laser cut outer frame. the frame will be beveled @ 45 dgree on the router and dilled with counter sunk M5 Steinless steel hex heads.
To compliment and fitin with the front theme a smaller frame will also be installed to surround a pr of counter sunk Dual custom made "defyant style " STORM RES's.
LEFT front frame RIGHT top res frame.
The finish on these custom laser cut frams is class all the way!
You can see the idea of how i want the frame to sit! the frame will still be beveled drilled countersund and flame polished again.
