Re: Acrylic Clear Case Mod Started!!

i have made something similar... great effort i must say!

The acrylic i got was way cheaper..though i had to cut it myself.

one flaw in my design and ur design is that the PSU has to be supported..

it should have been down.

The PSU ur holding is a light generic one...

If u get a good branded PSU which is really heavy..it be a major issue.

I had a genric intex PSU initially, and when i switched to a Vantec 460..I realized the flaw.

Neways ..great job man!
 
Re: Acrylic Clear Case Mod Started!!

I got all the mettalic components(back panel,DVD Drive bay..) powder coated to black.

It looks better that way.

Just a suggestion

To Godsp33d
Black Power coating looks great...I should also try it...( added to "Things to do for Moding" list)

To Yohanns23
Your plan for Air cooliing is great,, But use some type of FAN FILTTERS since acrylic sheet easly get statically charged and attract dust particals (try to rub a cloth on the acrylic sheet and then bring your head near it, ur hairs will rise due to static charge in acrylic)
Air flowing inside will also generate some static charge in sheets and dust will stick on to it , making the cabinet full of dust....(i have faced this problem)

Filter will help your mod look more clean...

@vinay_thakkur

Actually I'd Be Going With Metal Supports Itself Coz It Wud Be Hard TO Stick The Acrylic Plate As The Chances Of It Coming Off Due To The Weight Of The PSU Would Make It Break Apart.....Im Still Thinking bout it...have to mount the drive bays for the dvd drives still.....thinkin whether i should go with acrylic or metallic....Metallic ones wud be heavier and acrylic lighter but weaker.....still thinking bout it ...ne1 have suggestion....plz post ...thanks a lot for the help......

@ankitmane

Re: Acrylic Clear Case Mod Started!!

Great work so far. Metal would look good, but you should

paint it some nice colour, or plate it - chrome, if

you like glitter.

My friend's professor got this cabinet. I think you should go for acrylic plate looks cool. Metal plates look kinda wierd in a transparent cabinet.


Let me know if you want to see more pics of the cabinet.
