So here is my new Mod idea! I will attach it to the wall, and hook it up to the TV after the Lan. Right now I want to make it out of MDF Board. I wanted to do a high gloss black acrylic, but that added a lot to the price tag. So I'm thinking a nice polished black paint job. The front will open up like a door. My name and the piece behind it I want to make out of frosted acrylic with leds in it so it will change color. If its frosted the whole thing should glow instead of just the edges. So, here we go.

Front


Side


Top


So the interior layout should look like this.

Front


The interior should have an inch for wire management. The layer above that will be removable. The board will be raised up by another inch with holes cut out under it to run my wires through. All wires will run out the bottom of the case.

Side


Here are my measurements. Its huge and possibly to big.



Here is the hardware that has shown up so far.





The lights are RGB led and will change to any color I want. They also move, strobe and fade.

That's where I'm at. let me know what you think. I'm hoping it will be done by LanOC v12

Ambitious for sure. I'm certain you can get it built. But..built BEFORE the LAN? Hmmm...get moving!

As far as design..I like it. Kinda off the wall. (pun intended) ;) Keep us posted and get to work, you got LOTS to do.

Tick Tock indeed! Well the long and short of it is I'm not going to make it by v12. I got the panels cut out with the little time I had last Tuesday, then the weather turned on me by Wednesday, worked nights until yesterday, but no time then or today. So I think I will take my time, and have a better (maybe smaller) version of this mod at v13. I installed the AMD 8350, and the Asus 680 in my current build, and needless to say I'm very happy with them. In the end its kinda a downer, but its for the best. There will be plenty of great mods at v12 without mine. There's your new build, Arxon's, Whatever J.J. brings plus however many we haven't heard about yet. Should be a great event for case modders!

Mine won't make it to this one either. The wood got warped thanks to this weather of wet wet and more wet.
