Batman : Arkham City Update 01/06/2012 Finished Pics
Happy Holidays,
My oringinal Idea for the case mod, was to re mod this NZXT Vulcan micro-atz case all i was going to do was Batman etching on the window for my 7 year old son, Just a little weekend project, the ultimate goal was to make a nice little Lan case ,but when i started getting a few more ideas came to mind .
I very thankful for Biostar, Intel and NZXT . With out there support these are just visions on paper. I showed my friend at Boistar the progress of teh case and he ask to showcase it in Vegas for CES.
I started working on the side panel first to replace it with plexi.
making the window opening bigger with a dremal tool
all is left is to is a few places to File.
Next up to see how it look on the case
removing the rivots and the disassemblyhas begun
6 differnt grades of sand paper for the finish

Re: Batman : Arkham City CES 2012 Build
Decided to change the front panel a bit and add a little Batman touch to it.
Fan Cut out
I will be re-using the orginal mesh from the side panel for the front
I had some left over anodized aluminium from my other super secret project
With a scroll Saw and a file you can do amaizing things
all thats is left is have the Rez cut out and add power button and a little polishing
Alot more too do
Thank you again for checking the project out.

Are you going to leave it with the metallic silver colour? If you do, that you be pretty nice (I like it a lot). Really stands out from all the black cases you see these days.
