LightBringer's Steampunk Case Mod!

[LightBringer]

Hello world! I have just started a new case mod project and I wanted to share it with you guys. The idea behind this mod to have a computer that seems to be steam powered, inside a tattered vintage wood and copper case, with gears, cogs, analog gauges and so on. The closest to what I'm going for that I've have found is the Damnation Case. There's going to be a lot of little details that I'll need to focus on in order to convey the theme. I will post as I go. Hope you guys like!

I will scan and post my sketches of the planned mod once I find them. Here are some pictures of the case I decided to start with. Power supply at the bottom is most important.

I need to remove the top in order to get the the rivets that hold the hard drive mounts. This is where I intend to install a squirrel cage fan! (pictures and sketches coming soon)



A little drilling and some metal shards and it pops right off. Don't be afraid to take these out, a riveter is easy to come by and use. The whole case can be taken apart this way.

That's pretty awesome! Hope the mod goes well. Mine just sits here collecting dust...

Great idea, I'm excited too see how it turns out!
