I digress, bad girl! Keep on rocking it either way!

I did some stuff today, alot of stuff but there aren't very many pictures - sorry.

Paris has shrunk!!! The beetch was SOOOO fat, so I put her under the knife... uh... dremel

I measured my wifes MoBo and found it very much smaller than the one I was using to test fit with.


So like I said I introduced Ms. Paris Hilton to Mr. Dremel


I also bent this piece into place after I chopped the sides.


New fitting

Awesomeness...

Then I started on the back panel. I also made some mountings for the MoBo as I don't want the stand-off's poking through the back, those are not visible


Will try to do some more tomorrow.

Cheers

As always... MAD bending skillz

GO Samaya!!

Thanks guys. I was hoping to finish some more stuff but didn't get time to

Whaat??? Your wife is an android?

...and just when I thought Paris could not get any thinner, she goes for surgery...nice work Doctor Samaya

LOOKS good so far

Update time!!! I know its been a while since I've updated but making the back panel took a lot of time.

Anyway here is the back panel


Now like I indicated in the title "she" has been to the surgeon... I opened her skull



But that was not all. She could not see so I cut her eyes open!!!



So next I have to build the clear covers for both of those "protrusions" and then the wiring oh and some small adjustments to one panel. And of course I still have to "wash" her...

Just for those seeing the gap between the red and black perspex, I haven't screwed it down yet so its not an issue.

The real Paris Hilton doesn't do this mod justice. Excellent work.

DUDE!! DUUUUUUUUDE!!!!!

AWESOMENESS!!!!!!

Bout time I get off my lazy bottom and get moving with my mod...

wow, Samaya, I've been following the pics and it's really amazing. I'm already thinking of ways I can get all my fans on the outside of my case. Just some issues regarding that btw:

1) What are your plans for airflow. It's worrying me with that narrow space between the side and the mobo. Won't a lot of heat get trapped?

2)How is the GFX card mounted or what are your plans there if it isn't?

I apologise if this has been cleared up before, I'vew mainly just checked out the pics.

There will be slots at the top for the hot air to escape. There might be an additional fan in the bottom to force air into the case but it will probably only be a 80mm fan. It is only a P4 2.8GHz Northwood CPU in there with a 6600GT so there won't be that much heat anyway

There will be a clear cover that will go over and around the card that will have the mounting bracket in place. The CPU will also get a similar cover with its fan cover integrated.

Ok, nice, now I can picture the final product. It's going to look very good. Transparent case with minimum visible components.

Today I wont say too much, I'll let the pictures speak for them selves...

CPU fan cover. Not done yet.


Graphics card cover

Dude. That is hotness. Well done.


Just one q:

Won't the GFX card overheat madly?

This is great stuff !!!

That Gfx card cover looks awesome, but I have to share pienkie's concern about the card overheating. Those passive heatsinks normally rely on airflow in the case to keep them cool...
Perhaps Dr Samaya has a plan we mere mortals are not aware of

Awesome, truly awesome. Keep up the great work man, it's looking neat, professional and seksi!

mad plexi bending skillz... nicely done

Thats hot.

Thanks ppl. I appreciate your comments

I will be cutting a fan hole in the bottom of that plexi to give the card some air as well as little vent holes front and back. That should take care of any heat issues.

That gfx cover is hot.

Dude HOW DID YOU DO THAT!!?!?! It's so perfect + round <3

Been a long time, I know...any further developments Samaya?
