Project: Paris Hilton
Yes as a matter of fact there has been developments Just yesterday I made a new part
The fan grill took me the better part of yesterday to cut. And getting those angles of the cover itself right was very difficult
CPU fan grill from the top
CPU cover from the side
Kind of mounted. It wasn't glued yet but I had to test fit it.
What do you think?

Leaving it that milky colour. The picture is too blurred to show you what it actually looks like. Camera phones FTL!!! I actually sanded the inside of the cover to give it that colour. Else you will see all the dust and stuff on that fan and sink and that is not so nice.UrBaN wrote:Looking good dude you going to leave it that colour or painting or what?

I checked up on Paris today and she felt very neglected. Lucky for her I had some time to work on her. It took for ever to get this bit just right and I have to add, WHAT A BLOODY MISSION!!!
If you had a look at the previous posts in you will see that I made a CPU cover which came out ok'ish. It had this milky colour to it and it was actually butt ugly. 8O . So I basically redid this cover today out of a single piece without cutting anything away from it. This is how I did it:
I made a "mold":
I decided to try out my new equipment on an old piece of plexi I had in the workshop. Good thing too as it didn't turn out too well...
I also realised that my heat gun wasn't going to heat up the plexi enough and evenly so I commandeered the wife's oven
So the oven attempt went ok for a first try:
I left it in the oven for too long:
On my second attempt I nailed it and this is what I got:
So after chopping off those buckling edges I got this:
So tomorrow, if I have the time, I'll do the fan cover for it.
Hope you like, cheers

It didn't take long at all, I didn't time it but guessing it was about 10 minutes at 230'C with the grill on too.Lithe_Joint wrote: How long did you have to keep that piece in the oven for?
Well I only told her about it this morning...g0ldback wrote:Now heres the question, does the wife know that you used the oven to cook plexi?
I will be making slots and holes for air to escape and enter in various locations. I am still deciding where they will go though, I don't want to mess up the clearness again...UrBaN wrote:That's been the question all alongPrime wrote:how does the graphics card or CPU get any ventilation?
Re: Project: Paris Hilton
Damn... I just realised I haven't modded in about 6 months!!! I should make a plan... But life has been a bit hectic of late. I'll maybe have some time to do some modding in about 3 weeks time or so.

Re: Project: Paris Hilton
Just saw this thread tonight, read from page 1, bit of an anti-climax
Hope you do get to finish it though, looks great.
