Where to find crazy completely custom cases

[Ginga_NZ]

Been trying to work through ideas in my head for building a case from scratch. But I am wanting to find somewhere that has a collection of build logs for similar things. Going through all the logs here they are mostly just modding prebuilt cases.

I hope this isn't terribly located I felt this seemed like an appropriate place to post this.

You will probably have to build you own.

If your plans are very specific you probably have to build your own case.

[M-ursu]

you have to find modder or mod by yourself.

I want to eventually make my own case, seems like quite some fun

 

However, it'll be a couple years before that happens.

What kind of crazy are you looking for?

You need to make your own case. Unless you do happen to find something similar and you like it

Call caselabs and work out something with them , crazy expensive tho.

[Guest GRRigger]

buy some cheapo case and mod it

I realise I'm going to have to do it myself, just wanting to look at things other people have done for ideas and to see if they had any issues with specific things etc, maybe a little inspiraion.

I would pick a theme, let your mind go crazy with ideas extreme over the top crazy. Then turn around and sift through the ideas to filter down to an achievable level or find ways to make the crazy possible.

 

Looking at other build logs won't particularly help you much unless your chasing information on specific techniques or finishes that mesh together in which case asking works. If its for placement make a google sketchup doc and play with it.

 

While the build logs here are "modded cases" there is quite a few that have pretty well stripped it back to nothing anyway and the generally modding techniques are all the same.

 

...

 

I guess what i'm trying to say is scratch build's are almost always something that the idea just smacks us in the face (usually at the same time the wallet is already crying murder) and the ideas are toyed, moulded and played with until either interest is lost or work commences.

what i have seen buy the cheapest case and keep in mind less is more (flat sides with no special curves etc)

 

you can strip the whole case and make your own panels or a box where you slide in the naked case in.

 

the most easy way is to mod a prebuild case this is what every starter did or do but you may aim higher.

whats the point of having a crazy custom case if you dont do it yourself?
