Looky and update and its post 100 on my thread...

Update:

So I finally decided on what Im going to do with those side panels

Here they are, all nice but plain looking side panels.

Now to get to removing that mesh.

Notice that cooler master was so kind to cater for the modding community in a form of these already threaded nuts along with a nice lip for replacing the mesh with some perspex.

Here I got the mesh off

And here is the mesh, Im going to steal the stacker logo's of them.

I then used the mesh as a templete to outline the cut I need to make on the perspex. I will then perfect that that piece and use it as a templete to make one for the other side.

Well tomorrow I will get a cutting and see how far I can get.

Cool! Looks like its going well. Good luck with the cutting tomorrow

Perspex is pretty easy to cut but dont rush it, it WILL crack then

Skidd · Post by **Skidd** » 11 Jun 2007, 18:06

Ok well it took the whole weekend and then some to cut the perspex, why cos I wanted it perfect and they are!!

Well not finished yet couple of bumps to sort out and some polishing to do on the edges and something a little special needs to be added to them too but other wise 80% complete

Getting ready to do the cut, and yes thats a brand new scroll saw there.

Here is what it looks like after the cut

Matched up to the side panel, ooo looking good

Protective covering off and its really looking good

Marked and drilled the holes to mount it

Close shot of the mount

and there otherside done as well and them both together, they look so damn good and Im not even done yet!

So I am now the proud owner of the only CM832 in south africa with windows on the panels

PS: Dont worry about the screws, they where what I had laying about just for a test fit, I will be making my way to go and get either silver or black domed allan cap's tomorrow.

Ok well I got round to polishing the plexi last night and then i got thinking on the name for this project and I think I have made my mind up

832: Rebirth

Here is the design I have come up with which be engraved on the panels, not too big but enough to draw attention.

The one I intend to use is undecided so far.

so what you guys think?

It's a cool name, but i don't really like the designs very much. They don't quite suite an 832.

Just my 29c though, use it, don't use it

Skidd · Post by **Skidd** » 13 Jun 2007, 14:20

Yeah like I said DJV, Im not quiet sure yet. Ill work a little more, use different fonts and styles till I come up with something I really like.

Lithe_Joint · Post by **Lithe_Joint** » 13 Jun 2007, 14:23

The lower one melikes.

But how about making a mixture of the two?

Like "832" in bold and then the "rebirth" in outline?

Perhaps even remove the colon...

Skidd · Post by **Skidd** » 13 Jun 2007, 14:50

Like this...

this is not the final designs though so Im open to suggestions and idea's here.

IMHO look for another font man.

OKPS.

What does that mean?

ecthelion · Post by **ecthelion** » 13 Jun 2007, 15:40

erm ... question.... isn't there another panel which holds 4 fans under the that panel that u modded and want to engrave on?

Skidd · Post by **Skidd** » 13 Jun 2007, 16:06

Ye there is, its not going to be used in the case. its removable

and thanks guys I will look for another font tonight and design some more stuff.

Lithe_Joint · Post by **Lithe_Joint** » 14 Jun 2007, 16:57

Yep, that was the idea.

But ya...try flinging some more ideas around. You are bound to find a cool font that will just blow everything else out the water.

Update:

Well last night was the night I needed my motherboard so I could start on the motherboard cover. So which means from here on out I dont have a working PC untill I get this mod finished, no pressure no pressure

Here are some pics, I only transfered the motherboard and the power supply for now.

Old case

empty new shell of a case to be LOL

and there is the board and PSU in

ecthelion · Post by **ecthelion** » 15 Jun 2007, 10:49

hmmm.... that old casing looks fimilar

Skidd · Post by **Skidd** » 15 Jun 2007, 10:51

So I redesigned the logo

what you guys think?

Slasher · Post by **Slasher** » 15 Jun 2007, 11:22

I actually liked the top of the 'mix' ones...

832 in bold, rebirth in outline...

Its something different...

Only letter I do not like in that font is the 2, the 3 actually looks funky...

I say go with your first instinct... Gut feel is usually correct

DoOb · Post by **DoOb** » 15 Jun 2007, 12:18

Let me see what i can come up with tonight for you Skidd.

Skidd · Post by **Skidd** » 15 Jun 2007, 12:21

Thanks doob that would be a great help, really having a hard time trying to find something that will suit the 832

DAE_JA_VOO · Post by **DAE_JA_VOO** » 15 Jun 2007, 15:42

Yeah Skidd the new logo is also cool, but it's just not the one that makes you go "That's the one!!", know what i mean?

I like it. Not too big and very subtle
