Daantjuhh14 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Hi Everyone! I 'm a newby on this forum, but once must be the first time isn't? First of all things, i want to introduce myself. I'm Daan, 16 years old, and this is my first casemod from scratch project! i started working with computers when i was 14 ore something, and now i am addicted! So, This is a casemod from scratch. I want to build a whole working PC in a Ikea PS case: I don't know how I came on this idea, I was watching at it, and thinking, my pc must fit. haha. So, after a while i really started with this project. First some sketches: So, this is the result of the case after the first cutting! But then i discovered a problem. The cutter did it wrong. the holes where not at the right position. And this is the door with the window. Because the cutting problem, i have bought a new case, and the plate where cutted over. This is a picture of the new panel in de case After that was done, i started with a example of the logo. I made this on wood first. After a while again, i started with sleeving the COOLERMASTER() Power-supply. and so is it in the case: Couple of days later i disassembled the coolermaster fan's, so they could easily be coated. Then, i decided to make some redesigns! From this: To this: and the window: From this: To this http://i703.photobucket.com/albums/ww40 ... G_0360.jpg And the latest update till now: The logo has been cutter out of metal: See ya @ the next update! Daan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daantjuhh14 Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 Hi! Long time no update! There is happened a lot in this time, so this is a major update with mutch pictures and less text. The case has been painted, the hardware is in, and the first price is a fact. I won a water-cooling set from XSPC (The H2O Dual 750) So, that is coming into the black box to. Here are some pic's: A new control panel A GPU hole A radgril opening But oops, al little design problem; It must go to the painter, so i gave him a new plate. Yeah, i ordered some plexi, and that came in. I also sleeved the entire PSU, window: this is for the lighting logo! Yeah the case is back from the painter! I cut out the plexi, placed the leds etc. At this point, it looked like this: What do you guys think? Greetings, Daan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaPang Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Another fine use for an Ikea storage cabinet but is this the smallest they have? The components look like they are swimming in an ocean of empty space, but I am sure you can put to good use in the future. There will be no doubt that the "case" will have enough space for future expansion. Congratz on a fine project, kidding aside. Cheers and Saludos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
