MonsterMawd Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 I've modified the original concept case to reflect the theme of this Prawn weapon from the movie. The case will have reinforced panels and Orange/Black/White color scheme. One of the easiest steps to fit this theme was replacing the OEM handle on the Cooler Master 840 motherboard tray with machined aluminum handle. I had one spare handle left over from our previous stock. The new version has been revised with rounded finger grips, as shown here, http://www.mnpctech.com/MnpctechBilleth ... ooved.html I'm using 1/4" drill bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterMawd Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 Here is the front faceplate now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterMawd Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 I've decided to make it 100% Prawn. Imagine it was built with parts Christopher salvaged from the Mother ship and around District 9. The MNU warning sign with the prawn design will clue-in people to the theme. Cooler Master only sent 1 hard drive, so no sense in keeping the HD bay! Use 1/8" drill bit to remove HD bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonemus1 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Wow! I actually just finished watching District 9 an hour ago and then visited this site. What a coincidence! I really like this concept! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterMawd Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 Thats awesome, thanks for posting! I can't wait till it's on DVD. 1/4" thick acrylic sheets will act as reinforced segments of the side panels. Heres a close up of the vertical blade cutting 1/4" acrylic sheet These edges are not acceptable Black & Decker Mouse Sander with Medium grit sandpaper Thats better! Starting on other side tonight, this side still needs exploded hole, and I need to get more 1/4" socket head screws. Those will be countersunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterMawd Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 I can't cover up the bullet holes..lol I used the Dremel with a cutting wheel to emulate impact to the reinforcement panel. Using Dremel with egraving bit to gouge the other bullet hole under the acrylic. A ventilation hole was added as well. Round Modders Mesh used as the ventilation grill in the left side panel. Scotch Weld DP-190 2 part epoxy is used to attach the Modders Mesh to the backside of the side panel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterMawd Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 Mwhahahah. I love cutting nasty holes in a nice computer cases. Something exploded in Christopher's computer at one time. He never bothered fixing the hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
