Project ELWED inwin dframe mini

PhilipMod · January 4, 2016

I wanted to begin 2016 with a new mod, I’m currently working on a InWin DFrame Mini and I want to do something different, I have in mind to cut the case and add some tubes and parts, as you can see from the pictures below.

Let me know what do you think about this project/render wich is not fully finished but I still hope that you will get my idea.
[You can se all photos of my first mod (that was a desk case) and all new mods, albums and all the photos on my official Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/modderportal/).
Unfortunately I wont' be able to upload all photos because I have to keep updated lots of forums, but if you want you can always go and watch it on my page.]
Thank’s everyone for understanding and sorry for my english.

finally I can upload some new pictures (I had some upload problems all day long) , the folds were made by a very special machine that use large companies and it was really difficult to find, more I work on this case and more I think that the welding / assembly / folding method are very very accurate and valid , at the highest levels , a huge congratulations and thanks goes to inwin for this great job, I thank especially for the possibility to working on this product , shortly we will see the welds

I absolutely love this case, and it's why I'm following this.

I'm looking for this case myself, but they are super rare in Norway and no one sells them. If I want one I have to pay almost $500 for it.

creating a lower support on the base of the case to make the structure more solid

ATX · February 28, 2016

The addition of a lower compartment to this already stunning case is really cool, and I'm looking forward to seeing how you'll run all the tubing in the build. Followed!

PhilipMod · February 28, 2016

thank you, really soon some new update

Ridska · February 29, 2016

Dont get me wrong but ,

This case looks like a roll cage for a midget who is entering a NASCAR event.

PhilipMod · February 29, 2016

PhilipMod · March 3, 2016

I'm creating a panel that starts from the ex base of the dframe mini to the back, I made the holes for the i/o port of the dframe (see photo) and the second hole is for the fans/pumps controller
