A case a Klingon would love

[captaincurran]

Hey, a while ago i asked what kind of tool i should use to do a window on my case. You guys said a dremel. Well i finally got around to doing my case mod, with photos along the way. so here they are.

[captaincurran]

my auto teacher suggested that a plasma cutter be used for the cutting, but my new dremel be used to trim and tidy it. I'm gonna put a clear peice of plastic in behind it, to let the light of my 2 blue LED fans shine through. For those who don't know that's a Klingon Empire symbol

Well, if I'd've known you had access to a plasma cutter, of COURSE I'd've suggested it.

Seriously though, nice work. I look forward to seeing the rest of it when you get done.

Sweet!

Here's More pics, of the back after i had it grinded to make it smooth then with the glue, the type of glue i used, and holding down the plexiglass

[captaincurran]

More pics from when i got it home and on the rest of my case

[captaincurran]

in the first one you see a lot of wires, anyone got any tips on how to hide them?

[Tyler]

They seem sorta sort for wires...
I normally shove wires in the extra open drive bay slots and try to keep them away from the processor/ram sticks. Have you tried moving them at all perhaps down to the floor of the case and back up?

[captaincurran]

I'm gonna paint the case a nice black and get red led fans instead of the blue. Trying to find a good klingon screensaver, if anyone knows a good windows klingon screensaver, please pm me. That's it for pics till i get some paint. Qapla'!

[captaincurran]

unfortuneately they're not that long and they'd restrict the air flow from my fans in my spare cd rom spaces

[calgar]

paint it a dark green and use red lights in your case and it would look excellent!

For the Empire!!

[captaincurran]

Any suggestions as to brand or type of paint? yeah dark green would look sweet

[calgar]

use automotive primer and spray paint.

Krylon Black Primer followed with Krylon Pine Green from the Home Decor section.


The Pine can be found on the link below (depending on your monitors settings it may be to dark or not dark enough).

Is the Case Steel or Aluminum?

If you can find some... PPG PoloGreen with the gold Metal Flake looks good as well (no one said anything about inexpensive and PPG is anything but inexpensive).
