I'd like some opinions on what to do with my aluminum cutouts for my window. I work with aircraft metal and I have access to basic metal working tools, paint booth, and stencil machine. This is really my first build and I want some advice before I go any further.
I have an Antec 900, love the case, hate the window. So I want to cover them up with aluminum cutouts. Make a nice design in the metal, and rivet the panel, plexi glass, and aluminum all together. Let me show you what I have so far.
So this is where I am, I want to cut out a design but I can't decide on what to do. The metal was a thicker than I wanted it but you gotta take whats available. On the triangular piece (the smaller one) the plexiglas holds a fan pretts nicely and I'd like to keep that functional, maybe a skull or something circular but i just can't make up my mind. For the bigger piece I think some Kanji going down vertically would be cool.
What do you guys think??? I'm open to all suggestions, help me decide on a design, please!
I do have access to a stencil machine so I think I could make a pretty detailed design but my metal tools are limited. Things like files, drills, vise, mallet, nibbler, and basic hand shears. As for paint I think I am set, we have some left over glow in the dark paint that we put on prop tips. So I think a gloss black and glow in the dark mix along with a black light inside would be sick.
As for the rest of the case let me show you what I've done so far. Just cut some wire tuck holes with a dremel and then took it in and painted it gloss black, tell me what you think.
