Cora-D's project X
The
project :
the idea was to make a silver gold computer with
a big window
, extra cooling and a neon light in it
|
|
First we spent some time
thinking about the shape of the window , then we put a guiding
shape on the case with a black marker .
Okay this is done , now we
can start with cutting and drilling of the windowshape .
Tools we've used for this job
: a dremmel and drilling tools .
|
|
|
|
This is the part where
we marked the places for the extra blowholes ( size of the extra
coolers are : 80mm so the blowholes are drilled at 76,5mm this
will give us enough space for the attachment holes )
Now we can start with the cutting
and drilling of the blowholes .
Tools we've used for this job
: drilling tools .
|
|
|
|
Now we can start on cleaning
and straightening the shape
Once this is done we can start
with the top piece of the case .
|
|
|
|
First we did the same
as in the side part of the case : guide shaping , cutting , drilling
and cleaning .
This includes : re-shaping some possible errors .
Okay now we can go on with painting Cora-D's case .

The paintjob :
The paint we used is very difficult
to spray because it's a silver metallic colour , we first had
to paint the case with a white layer .
Once this layer has dried ,
( it takes about one hour ) we can go on with the silver layer
. As I said this
is a difficult colour to spray so two layers won't be enough .
We needed to spray four layers to make it shine .

|
This is everything spraypainted
:
You will think : " What
is he doing ?! " , and yes I'm using a hairdryer . This is
something I normally never do , but i had to use some magic on
this one .
Had to make the paint dry very quick because I needed to fix
a dark spot on the side piece .
|
|
|
|
As you can see the paint is dry , so I'm removing some dust
that could get on the side before spraying the last two layers
of transparant varnishing paint .
That's all concerning the paintjob : pictures of the full
painted and modded case are on the way .
