This video was exceeding awesome levels !

[@assassino1002]

you must have the best and funnest job! :D

[@17GigaHertz]

Nice project. You really made something cool with that uggly grey case!

[@riceyasian86]

Some people had a much different definition of aesthetically pleasing back in '07.

[@Humance]

U look a bit like Nicolas Cage, don't u?

[@MrBoss1500]

Really awesome,totally just fucking nice:)!

[@Alexis_Mos]

i have a question....if i buy this body filler and use some for my case, what's gonna happen to the rest that is left in the tin??? will it become like a stone???

[@neosmith80]

But if u put the 2 fans together like that you cancel out the air flow or at the very least degrade the air flow?

[@aboyandhisdad]

in the process of doing this to my case atm :D

[@Alexis_Mos]

ok....it's a real piece of art, but i have to buy lots of tools and related stuff!!!

[@Baraquiel62]

2011 and I still like it

[@2000ContourSVT]

Hey Bill thanks for this tutorial I was wondering though how long does the Fiberglass filler last while its in the can after use. Like if when I got done with it and had extra filler left and I put the lid on how long will it last without curing. I was also wondering if this would be good to fill in holes like a Floppy drive slot and a Power button hole. Thanks again.

[@NathanSwift]

I've been a custom automotive paint technician/ body man now for close to 20 years as well as a computer fanatic. I was thoroughly impressed to say the least with your turorial. KZbin needs more true tech. vids like this. VERY VERY EXCELLENT JOB. I'll be visiting your site soon.

[@shannonoshea644]

That's a really awesome mod I'd even use it on my modern builds

[@MaxellAdGuy]

Thank you! we enjoy sharing these case mod ideas with you! Have great day! Bill - www.mnpctech.com

[@mdaljev1]

dude, that case fucking owns, man you should consider about opening a case modding workshop, because, you know what to do to make an ordinary PC case to look like...i don't know how, but it is awesome!! keep up man!!!!

[@QsoftStudios]

Hey I just painted my case with a high gloss black paint but i'm kind of scared now to put the side panel screws on because I don't want to damage the paint. What can I use so I don't damage it?

[@nihilanth5911]

Oh, wow... That case is sick... Good work! At first I wasn't really sure about the chevy orange color, but at the end with the silver plating and fan it really looks sweet. Nice work!

[@TheBMXStreetlife]

@ploetzlich30 Okay thanks, I went out today and bought everything I got 150 and it did a great job, and its plastic not metal.. but I got it thanks for the help!

[@WaterCoolFool]

you can use 3m rubbing compound after 2 weeks and then you can use car wax a month or so late to get that show case finish

[@vorkev1]

what a wast of time and money i think most people would rather stick the money into thare performance of the pc and or cooling of thare pc then looks.

[@djxam1]

i tried the same thing with black piano coating like paint and simmilar mats but honestly it looks nothing like the one u made :)) i guess i need some experience in plastic arts :)) i can make any spoiler or bumper from any car but i cant make a freeking case :))anyway great work dude... next time i'm goint for rebuilding the whole fron in carbon fiber. hope i'll be more successful

[@havocmaster2000]

im considering doing something similer but with 6 60mm fans in front im going to have to find ducks that size also painting it Orange with 2 blue raceing stripes on the side with a case window on top and one on the side simmiler to that video you posted on how to install windows with a 6 fan controler bay with a fan on the bottom around the 1/3 of the way back from the front of the case to help i rect the air to the cpu after it colls the HDD's with the inside with mirrors

[@crusader8463]

God dam it all I hate watching these videos. It makes me so sad/mad to know that I will never have a work room, or the money, to do case mods in. It's a hobby that I have had for years even though I have never been able to do it. The best that I can hope for is living vicariously through youtube videos. =..(

[@NaomiChanX]

It's not the best idea to touch bare metal that you're planning to paint with your hands even with self etching primer. The oils from your fingers will keep the primer from really sticking and overall will cause the paint to chip and flake off, also, if you're using any non-aluminum metals that haven't been rust treated it will cause rust pockets underneath the paint over time.

[@lowoxygen]

Wouldn't it have been easier to use a bigger batch of filler with a small amount of hardener....maybe do it in a cool place, so you can spend less time mixing it? I used to do some work for a fiberglass company and I used to mix up batches that were sometimes a half-gallon of filler, and I still had about 12-15 minutes to work on it, more in the winter when it was cold.

[@eric0584]

it's to put a blue design behind the turbine, it doesnt block the fan because they work just the same direction of the intake..

[@SRGIMRL]

NICE!!!!!

[@K3vindust]

Hello guys,i've been enjoyign watchign all your videos in youtube and you guys are amazing,one question though as i'm planning to paint an old cpu case,can i use those spray paints that being sold in automotive stores?those are for cars but can i use it for a cpu case?thanks a lot...

[@littleohah]

nice build ive been planing to do somthing like this but as a stargate theme im going to put a blue led fan with some mesh in front then on the out side a replica stargate with some orange leds so with it turned on it looks like its a dial stargate hope iit looks good

[@yunggawd]

Wow, Great looking case mod, and you make it look so easy even though I know if I attempted something like this it would probrably take me 20 tries before I even came close... all it needs is a cool looking case window... again great job

[@bigdzzplace]

just a comment or imfo dude..SEM self etch prime used for bare steal only...when you sanded side panels with P grade 400 grit sandpaper...no need to prime...blow it off tack it and paint it. A body shop guy here...TC Dave from Canada

[@paker51]

Does the fan blow out or in? the videos never said, that I remember. If this was done for function it would have been much better to have the fan on the top of the case as hot air is light and moves up having a fan to exhaust the heat.

[@bunnythekid]

For those little air pockets you revealed after you sanded, you can buy a little tube of quick drying paint - that is like bondo but more flexible and faster drying. It would save you waiting some extra time. Just to let you know. =)

[@CorvusCorps]

Awesome video! I have a question. How well does the spray paint stick? I always feel limited on my paint selection and the type of paint when I paint over plastic. Do you have problems with paint chipping really easy on plastic?

[@TheBMXStreetlife]

I am painting my computer also, what grit sandpaper should I use... I was thinking 120 grit, is that too fine.?

[@TechBlake08]

wow amazing i watched both parts and am going to attempt this but with a few different things lol thanx 5 stars

[@keelan116]

*alot* I have tons of old cases I can make into 200$ cases now lol I think the hardest part of the video is buying the stuff you need lol... Well anyways thx again I'm gonna add multiple fans

[@fuzionart]

Thanks for all the help on the "bondo" issue. I would go through this company for all my modding needs. That is unless of course you want to pay me to do 360 mods for you. Thanks again. Curt in PA

[@justinsn95]

Awesome job! Looks like you put a lot of time and effort into it. Case really didnt turn out to be my taste, but it shows that you know what you are doing. Woulda added a panel window as well.

[@SawShotShared]

Do i need a primer for the case & front panel ?? or i need it only if i'm going to paint this kit thingy?

[@Matrix7neo]

Very nice job i watched Both by the way. But my personal favorite is black. Where could i buy these paints?

[@amaron]

this is really great. this inspired me to start modding a week ago. sanding sucks without a mouse sander :P

[@keelan116]

This video is awesome!!! It's funny how when you look at certains things you think must be complicates only to find out my little som could do it... I appreciate this video sapir

[@The911SONIC]

nice case mod..... i like how you picked the old computer because it suits having the turbine in it and i like the lod computers and i like the finished result of it great job 100/100

[@ploetzlich30]

@TheBMXStreetlife, 400 wet-sandpaper, if you only want to prepare the surface of the old paint. if you want to sand it down to the metal, 120 - 180 will get the job done.

[@Utoobyourself]

What paint would you recommend if I wanted to paint my case like the one in the video? Thank you

[@Nefsen402]

wher do the disks go? i dont see a disk dive you cud gist put the disk grive in and pant it yello

[@006spam]

Personally I'd have covered up the 2 smaller drive covers and painted over them, but I love the turbine in the middle and how it looks so naturally smoothed out :)

[@mike50333]

Forgive me for sounding like a noob, but is it required to wait 1-2 weeks for the paint to dry, or was that just a demonstration of the paint quality?

[@TenMinutesToMidnight1]

NICE WORK! Does fiber filler make you itch? Any wet sanding needed? How many apps in all on the filler ? Use any clear coat or any kind of sealer?

[@produKtNZ]

Good results :). Looks fantastic!. Shame if you want to sleep with a turbine fan running :P

[@DSB1234567890]

Beautiful! Excellently done, very good looking and functional. I'd be a bit worried about directly spray painting the fan, but anyways well done!!

[@Rapidpanda1st]

Nice, I personally couldn't see that fibreglass filler becoming that clean and smooth, but you did a really nice job, well done :) ~Frosty.

[@TheBMXStreetlife]

@ploetzlich30 Uhh, sorry I was just asking a question, you dont gotta be rude about it..

[@TheBMXStreetlife]

@ploetzlich30 Yeah it said use a medium grit sand paper, so what number grit is that?

[@redemptionwins]

I didn't really like the orange but apart from that, that case was BRILLIANT :D You really inspired me to get into the modding scene

[@eyesz]

very nice video. just one question... what does using 2 120mm fans stacked one after the other do? any benefits? more airflow?

[@Joel4President96]

lol. You forgot to put the power button back in when you were assembling the case.

[@Lvaneede]

thats a very nice case you ended up with. Im glad to see the emphasis on safety.

[@CounterStrikewierdo]

What happens if you accidentally stick your finger in the turbine, its out in the open. But oh well, it looks awesome

[@iamarcelosantos]

which the list of materials you need to make this work? this casemod thank's

[@adrianvdb]

Why not aligne 3 similar fans on your turbine? It would look superawesome :o

[@Tinitim56]

I know this is a really old video, but you should have added a spiral on that nose cone like a Rolls-Royce engine!

[@Andrew5529]

i wanted 2 know im thinking of buying a modded case can i use my mother bord from my old computer in the new case

[@AlexCail]

now to stock it with some 8800's and some mad ram lol lets game hehe no really nice job. now mod my laptop for me.

[@RistoKappet]

u rly need a filter there , that fan is gonna suck alot of dust in there .

[@UnScriptedFlix]

How many cans of spray paint do you go through for the external shell of the case? internal shell of the case?

[@MrAngelSapEPilloxD]

que naranja es esee!kiero ese naranja de aerosol pero no se como pedirlo ala pintureria !

[@starcarsweden]

hey guys do you know a good gamer computer for like 350/3500 kr?

[@littleohah]

if you think of doing his make sure your sand it dont just spray it i never and it looked rubbish lol

[@MHellrazor]

The was lovely. That was fuckin' lovely. Bigups too the guys up in Minnesota from the Hellrazor in Philly!

[@jprice90]

nice design wit the turbine fan but you should've added a dust filter, alot of dust must be being intaked

[@FreeSpirit90]

camera and bill VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY nice job ill try this on my old hp pc looks simple thanks to you..

[@harishotickamicak951]

Can I use liquid Body Kit polyester filler for cars,i have it for plastic and for metal..? please answer

[@JohnJaggerJack]

i just creamed all over the keyboard and it was hard to type in this coment!!XD nice work dude bro! XD

[@H2Oredfirefox]

wot is that stuff you are using that your apling to the front of it

[@dadee433]

do you need to sand bare metal? do you need to sand the plastic front panel before applying primer?

[@bmx214racer]

2 is no better than one... When using 2 make sure they spin at the same RPM otherwise it'll burn out.

[@lhtrf]

is using primer a must for the case, or i can just paint it? ( dard to find primer around here...)

[@toyrocketastronaut]

For the same amount of work I think I'll mod my car's bodywork. ;)

[@Dylmoo]

when you showed the spray paint you used, is it advised to spray primer before that other type

[@jnthncr]

en la primer parte aparece el nombre. Es algo como narajan de motor chevy jaja.

[@I.n-10s]

you guys can make this bussiness selling modified CPU case COOL

[@DatBlueHusky]

yo man you shold make a show of ''pimp my case'' show lol

[@mcnag]

a turbine also pulls in cold air, so it's not the smartest question if you ask me, sorry.

[@ptkborat]

pimp my case...hohoho... a copy of version pimp my ride. very good.i like this turbine.

[@ZeroG84]

you didn't use asetone/alcohol wipe before the paint, or it just didn't get in the vid?

[@popotubepopo]

Really nice vid! what size bit do you use to drill the hole for the power button btw?

[@sidneyboy763]

Ohhhh dat shine! I was just itching for you to put a window in the side panel. :\

[@mayhaw5786]

only thing missing is a before and after shot, the difference is staggering.

[@ploetzlich30]

@TheBMXStreetlife, DUDE, learn to concentrate on a video while watching it!

[@TheLittleWorldofGaz]

how easy is it to get a nice spray pain finish?

[@PeterRockClausen]

I got an arrow to the knee... but it's okay, I got self etching primer xD

[@YuuExussum]

lol the color orange makes people feel like they are getting a good deal.

[@thumasta666]

why didn't you put a window in the side of the case while u were at it?

[@noobmonkey0]

so i think that case needs a window and a chevy logo for on the window

[@MsBobey1]

way to use garageband for your music! lol

[@croaero]

I cringed the entire time he was painting. work on that technique...

[@PitFighter2007]

Did you have to wet sand the paint on the sheetmetal covers at all?

[@Deep42Thought]

30 dBA quiet? look at Glacia Tech fans and see the quiest fun ever
