I am modding a computer for my girlfriend. She is a gamer and I want to give her a computer she'll be proud to show off and take to places like LAN parties.
Mods:
- Removing Shuttle's rear fan grill and installing a new one.
- Adding a custom etched window (from thepcmodshop.com).
- Adding a VL Systems LIS-2 in the mirror.
- Painting the case black then coating it in diamond dust.
- Adding blue and pink (red) CCFL's.
The grill was simple. Just use some tin-snips to cut out a hole and placed a new grill over it.
I am horrible with a Dremel. This is the hole I have cut for the window. I already have the molding cut to get rid of those sharp edges.
Xoxide sent me the wrong switch, but it actually worked out for the better. I took off the cover and just installed the switch itself. Looks a lot nicer than the other switch I ordered.
Ugh, this is going to be a nightmare. So far I have cut apart the front of the case so the display fits and sanded off the mirror. Now I need to work on fixing the scratches in the acrylic from the sand paper.
Here is a preview of case so far.
