Project Manta

[ExTeNsIvE_mOdDa]

Project Manta is my second case mod, it took approx 70-80 hrs total to finish, but i think it turned out the way i wanted it to. What do you think?

First off, lets start with a good view if the best parts of the case, the flame window, and the front panel. the front panel is custom water jetted.

Just a closer view of the dremel work of the flames. keep in mind, everything in this case is dremeled except for the front bezel.

above is a view of one of the shining spectacles of the case, the front bezel, which was, as i mentioned above it was water jetted. The accents were powder coated chrome, and the main case was powder coated sparcle silver and clear coat.

There will be more pics to come later, but that is just a peak at what this case looks like

I have just started my newest mod, look out for it in the work logs section, it will be called Project:industry

Love the flames man, I think I remember seeing your case at a lan party in Toronto! [H]ard stuff :)

[Deathjester]

omg, i love the front intake

[Othersider]

Just curious; is the fan controller off center for some reason or is that just the angle of the photo?

[ExTeNsIvE_mOdDa]

its not offcenter, its just the angle of the pic

Wow man GREAT JOB, nice flames too. How did you cut the top window, the cuts were so small wouldn't the cut off wheels be too big? did you use "shorten" them?

There was a time where people did some crazy mods, I wasn't around too much for that time..
Then n00bs began jumping on pre-mods..
Now great modders, such as yourself have began creating crazy mods again..

all of the cuts were made with the cutoff wheels, i started with large cutoff wheels, and for the smaller intricate cuts i had to use wornout wheels

I saw you at TFL I think, nice case :D

[scott77]

very nice bro, very very nice! my kudos to you

[Gibroni]

It's gorgeous. I wet my pants!

Did you build that case from scratch?

[ExTeNsIvE_mOdDa]

hey guys, thanks very much for the comments. I was at TFL, you probably did see me there. Project industry is just about to get started, keep an eye out for it in the work logs, if you want any more info you can always drop by my site at www.extensivemods.com Oh, btw, this case started as a raidmax scorpio 868 midtower, everything was custom done, the front panel stuff was water jetted, but all of the flame stuff and windows were dremeled by me.
