Hello, everyone .. Im starting my new project directly from Brazil...

I will participate in the Unique category, since it is not a Cooler Master Case, but I will not do a case outside of normal standards. What I do is rebuild the case of a destroyed chassis and use it only for watching movies and listening to music. So I will use an old hardware, since need not be very strong for what I want.


The Case Initially ahahahhaha

What chassis is that based off of? Which cooler master spare parts will you be using? I am really happy because it is looking good.

[Mpovh]

Valdisnei : There we go

vmodding: thank you

Icejon: I will not mount a casemod in a different format. What I do is rebuild the casemod of a destroyed chassis and use it only for watching movies and listening to music. So I use an old hardware I have, since need not be very strong for what I want.

I will use this pieces:

2x 120mm Cooler Master Fans ( Google Img)



1x 80mm Cooler Master Fan



2x Cooler Master Rounded Cables and 1x Cooler Master Blue Ice



and..

1x Musketeer 2 ( Google Img)

Sorry to mention it, but it really is hard to follow your project with all that is happening with Imageshack. May I suggest a different host for images so that you get the service you deserve (even if free, it should be functional) and not let this mess up your worklog. From what I see, your mod is not so conservative as I had imagined at the beginning. Kudos!

Photobucket is a great free service for images & video.
You can upgrade by paying for the service but in all honesty I have used their free hosting for over 5 years now & never had a single problem with them.

I have a few webistes, so I have other ways to 'store' & show pictures on the internet, but at the end of the day Photobucket is just so much quicker, easier & reliable.

Take a look at what they offer for free, I think you will find them to be on par with or even slightly better than Imageshack.

Hope that helps you out.

[PaPang]

Yes I agree with the Dr., I use Photobucket without a hitch. Others in my forum also suggest Flikr.

What I meant by "conservative" is that at the beginning I had no idea toward where you mod was going and yes, at first look it looked "conservative" but as your worklog develops, I see you are going further and further toward your own design which I consider pretty "daring and different". All good for the contest. At my forum there are a lot of "assembly" mods (buying stuff and screwing them in) which I have a hard time telling my mates that that is not real modding and one or 2 color schemes are very common, even if carried out as if done by pros.

I try to guide my fellow modders along the path of The Modding Triad" philosophy of ARTbyTROY (Fryfogle). I don't know if you have read it, but if you wish to: http://www.casemodgod.com/Articles/modding_triad.htm
Thus my use of the words: Stock Mods, Object Mods and Scratch Mods by me.

Hey Mpvoh, I hope you are not trying to upload at once everything for the last 10 days. That would really be good amount of homework to chew through! Hope everything is going as planned and we miss your updates.


Cheers

EDIT: the only thing I don't liked was the mod in the PSU, so I will redo it soon

[PaPang]

Well, first of all, good to see you back, but you came back with a bunch of photos and it took me a while to see through all of them. It would help if you post more often so as not to accumulate so much info. Thank goodness you changed to PhotoBucket because it takes forever for the Imageshack photos to load which slows down access to your log.

Anyways, good progress and looks impressive!

Cheers

P.D. Have you heard of vmodding and his project?
