Got a little bit of free time to write another quite post, but without pictures for now. I brought my camera with me to take pictures of case mod progress but I didn't bring the cord with me to upload -- so expect those when I return to Astoria. For now I'll give a brief and humorless rundown on what is going on right now.
Right now my truck is in the shop and the diagnosis is something about mist or emissions in the engine.. So I guess I have a poltergeist in my truck and won't be able to drive it back to Astoria for awhile. Might drive back tomorrow without the truck, but we'll see how that goes.
So the case I am modifying is a Lian-Li A05Nb -- Link has the specs if you're curious about it. This is the first time I've done a case mod and I've tried to research a lot in preparation, but I don't have any experience in cutting or painting metal. So anyway, my plan is to cut a 120mm fan slot into the top of the case, cut an 8x10" window into the right hand side of the case and back it with fiberglass, and then to put any art and design on the left hand panel. I'll be using white as the primary color with red and black as the secondary.
Currently, I have cut the window, fan slot and sanded down those panels to the bare aluminum. I didn't really mean to do that extra step but didn't properly tape edges after the cuts so my sanding really went to town on those... Still the work is coming along nicely. Don't know when I'll be nearing completion of the project but I'll have more pictures coming soon.
Did you change the color of the blog? :o Huh, so you're having truck problems? I didn't realize you were still in town, we should have hung out! OH DID YOU WATCH THE REST OF MEGAMIND? HILARIOUS, RIGHT?
ReplyDeleteOh and I'm on case 3 of Ace Attorney. I think it's out of 5?
