Custom Made Computer from a discarded / scrap case (work logs)

I made a blog previously about my mom's blue rig using just a discarded case and it kind of makes you wonder how I was able to assemble it.


First, I would like to show you first the effect of a smoked acrylic side and front panel. 


PC is OFF



PC is ON

The PC looks ordinary if it is off but when you turn it on, lo and behold the effect of blue LED fans and CCFL. 


Anyway, let's proceed with the work log pictures. 


Enjoy the pix...


This is the original discarded and scrap case bought at 100 pesos from a friend.

The modding is made by my good friend COMCAM. He did some cutting of holes (120mm for top and bottom, 80mm for front and rear) for the fans and made a custom smoked black acrylic side and front panels. 

We used a 120mm speaker grill and screws that can be bought at a local electronic store and hardware center.

Applying the primer paint.

Applying the first, second and third coat of metallic black paint.  

Applying the clear paint finish and adding fans.

Testing the LED fans.

Adding the major parts and functionality test.

A close look on the interior and exterior of the PC.

The finished product.

  

My Mom's Oh So Blue RIG

It's been a long time that I have not made any blog on my site. 

Well anyway, I would just like to share with you guys my custom made PC for my mom. This is actually a junk computer case that I got for 100 pesos from a friend. I had the chassis modified with fan holes and smoked acrylic front and side panels by my good friend COMCAM. He is a PC modder in Cebu City. If you are interested in getting your PC pimped out / modded by him you can go to his website http://comcam.webs.com/ or you can check his Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/comcam.modz

I did the paint job by myself. The details of the paint job and assembly will be on another blog entry as I have a lot of pictures to upload. 

As for the detailed specs, it's kinda old though. I still have to upgrade the whole thing probably this December. This is just enough to play some common games and do word processing and internet browsing tasks.
