My new case. :-) ***NEW PICS!*** 56k warning
Its a chassis from an AS/400 B6 circa 1992
The thing is huge, the pic doesnt really show how big this thing really is. It had onboard lead-acid battery backup (the box on top to the left) and the PSU is both modular and has a Papst 30v fan lol. Im not going to use either of course but still its an interesting bit of 14 year old tech. The panels are plastic but im still going to paint them, im going to put in a window and a triple fan radiator + my existing double heater core with appropriate holes cut in the top. The front panel, not pictured is going to recieve signifigant modification (paint, DIY LED projector, modders mesh, etc) I might also put some casters on the botton depending how much the thing weighs.
What do yall think!

Ok talk about reviving an old thread!
I bought a Bulgin red-LED power switch, some red Fireflies and two 12 inch red neons for this sucker, they just arrived today so im gonna throw them in my lan boy case and take a pic tonight.
Now all I need is the perforated metal, plexi, and Vinyl Dye and it'll be ready to rock and roll for Qcon in August.
Im also going to use skateboard trucks as wheels for it!
Also damn I don't remember looking that homeless! i've shaved and gotten a haircut sense then. lol

yeah I guess it does lol. I found a vendor that most likely has it and they are only about 10 miles from my house. Another thing im looking for but cant seem to find a slot loading dvd drive. Anyone have any idea where I can get one for relatively cheap?
Also sorry for no pic of my lighting setup, I couldnt find my camera last night but I will keep looking tonight when I get home lol.

Check out Mcmaster-Carr and look for Perforated Metal or Mesh. This is about the closest thing I could find for ya...HONkUS wrote:gladly! now that the semesters almost over (one more final) and I got a 300 dollar tax return coming I can finally start working on it again! I still gotta find an online vendor that sells this though:

Don't ask me, cause I know nothing! I'm lost in this world of technology and am barely holding my head above water. Thank the Good Lord for LR, otherwise I would have drowned years ago.
