Indeed it was. i'm gonna get some metallic red paint and do the grills, the front lower panel and buttons for a little highlight.

Nice mod. Looks a bit messy though, but i guess time will tell with your mod. Nice going anyway.

captaincurran · #36 (**permalink**) 11th October, 2005, 02:16 PM

Thanks! I'll probably get around to putting some ties around some more of those wires tonight.

I have access to a plasma cutter. I would just never use one on a computer case. The metal is too thin, and it burns. Very hard to keep a clean line. They make the cutting fast, but you have to spend a LOT of time cleaning up after them. I prefer a dremel personally. Takes a steady hand and a lot of patience. Gratz on your mod. It looks like you cleaned up the cuts nicely. The big thing people screw up with a dremel is trying to cut all the way through in one pass. All that will do is break blades.
