Pranja Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I would like to introduce you to my third anf final entry to Cooler Master Case Mod Competition 2013. Ares is midtower ATX designed in armour style that I build from July 21 2013 to August 24 2013. Initial laser cutting test has been made, but result was not very good. Material was of poor quality so I had to switch from 8 mm to 6 mm plywood. Whole case had to be redesigned, both inside and outside. Some improvents have been made.

Pranja Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Few pics of CNC laser cutter doing it's work. All parts are sorted. Central structure panels and side panels had to be cut in two pieces since they were too big for CNC. I glued them so they become one piece Gluing of case stand. Gluing of central structure. I added radiator mount and rear vents. Glued rest of the structure. I used books to put some weight on glued pieces. Pics of the case after glue dried. More books. XD New parts added-middle support and top parts. Rest of the case has been glued as well as rear vents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
