»Stievius« Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 In Februari 2007 I started modding this Stacker case. Some month later I started another project called Xionized. I focussed completely on this second casemod, and it payed of: Xionized made it to the second place in the Benelux Championships ( > http://www.tbcl.nl ). Now, a year later, I took the Stacker out of my garage, removed two inches of dust and the pretty f*cked up protective tape. The name explanes the theme I'm working with. I wanna make the case look like Optimus Prime (the Transformers character). The goal is not to reconstruct it, but to make a smooth lookin' case with point of recognition with Optimus Prime. Ok, let's commence ^^ You're lookin' at two Cooler Master Cosmos top bars. As you can see, it are two LEFT bars. I ordered a left and a right one, but mkay, that's not that much of a disaster... ...since I'm removing the pieces to put it on the frame. I tapped M4 holes, way easier to mount this way. Since the bars are not made to mount to a flat surface, the only way to mount them is to make a whole new top for the case. And there you have it. It still needs a lot of work, but you get the general picture. Front view (personally, I'm lovin' it) Side view. And this is the basic idea of the front. I bent two plates of aluminium, and put them in the front. Updates soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

»Stievius« Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 @Cheapskate: I don't know, is there a difference? Why don't you tell me when the mod is finished? ____________________ Mkay, update!! Found some time the last days (and nights) to work on the top of the case. It didn't work out like I planned it, but it ain't too bas imho. I started by cutting a piece of acrylic to fit the front part of the top panel and to replace the stock plastic shizzle. Yeah, that works... I wanted to do something with Hexx-mesh, so this is wat I came up with (eventually): This had no simularity with Optimus Prime, but I'm thinking of putting the eyes somewhere behind the mesh.... Did I say Hexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx? The hexx needed to be screwed to the top panel, so after some brainstorming... Same goes for the other side... Due to a lack of inspiration: L-profile pwnage xD Same thing at the back... So that's all concerning the actual modding... Next up: Photoshoot An Innovatek dual radiator. Two red lightbars. They seem to have some cool effects, so I definetly wanted to try these out. Two 40cm Xirex reservoirs. (Muahaa, sweet candy ) and last but not least: 1x 3mm UV Black acrylic, 2x 5mm UV Blue acrylic and 2x silver Hexx. I would like to thank Eddy fromIT-service.be for his generosity and excellent service. /out -Stievius - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxession Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Looking nice with the mesh, do you have a basic idea on paper or something else maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
»Stievius« Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 Looking nice with the mesh, do you have a basic idea on paper or something else maybe? Not really no. Sometimes I draw some stuff during a boring lesson at school, but never the whole concept, since I change my mind about twice a day xD Btw; update ! Another update I remade the hexx-pieces... ... and made some adjustments to the shape of the panel. Lookin' better imho. My plan is to put somekind of grill made out of acrylic in the empty hole. Therefore, I first had to make some circles out of acrylic. They'll become the spacers. t Exciting (not). Some made it, some didn't... R.I.P. Yet more acrylic... The basic idea. And the whole construction upside down, still without bolts. More soon, grtz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
