Hi all, just looking to share a project I started.
 
I've been watching a lot of case modding.  I'm amazed with what's out there and what people have done.  After some minor pimping of my own pc I got the idea for the following project.
 
Basically I'm looking to make a computer tower look like an architectural model.  Googling that you can see what I'm thinking about.
 

 
Being that the parts inside are older I got the idea to make the insides look like an old boiler room.
 

 
After working through a few sketches I came up with the following.
 

 
From there dug into this nasty old box.
 

 
I gutted the box.
 

 
And added some 'creative' cable management.
 

 
And created a template to hold some 120mm fans.
 

 
And got some fans installed.  Still some room for a slim rad should I want to go that route.
 

 
Created frames for both sides of the box.
 

 
Including cutting a window for the left side panel.
 

  Papered the back and grabbed some old cathodes for the 'light box'.  

 
And with the acrylic window in place was ready for some testing.
 

 
The initial cardboard mock up was looking pretty good.
 

 
Picked up some crafter's foam and started refining the mock ups.
 

 
NOW I was starting to get somewhere.
 

 
Finished up the right panel.
 

 
Then started duplicating on the left.
 

 
The right side will be a simpler back-lit painted acrylic window.  The left side allows a view into the 'boiler room'.
 

 
Still lots to do, but the concept is coming together.
 

 

 

 

 
Admittedly this is a bit of a budget build right now.  Most of the budget is going into the esthetics rather than parts at this time.  We'll see how things play out to see what gets upgraded inside.
