With construction and testing over it was now time for the finishing touches. The case was polished with Novus #1 plastic polish. (Which is amazing stuff). We had had some custom etches made for us by
Shattered Web which we now fitted.
The chrome BiT-Tech logo looks spectacular but you can't tell that from the picture.
The lid gets the "Intel inside" treatment.
So there you have it. A custom case for Intel's new CPU launch from BiT-Tech. All that remains is to show a few pics of the beast doing its thang!
The HDD meter was set up so the centre LEDs were always lit. This acted as power on light and complimented the lit feet. During HDD activity bars of red light move out from the blue light. Looks pretty good when you see it in action.
I had planned on fitting quite a number of other cool and unique mods to this case but due to the limited time available and the fact any design issues had to be sorted "on the fly", they had to be left out. They will however, appear in future projects so stay tuned.
This has been a somewhat unusual project given the circumstances but it has been great fun and rewarding and I would like to thank everyone involved.
MrHaz for making the whole thing possible, gaining the sponsorship, his relentless enthusiasm and for putting up with a stressed macroman.
Linear for supplying the Cut and edged Acrylic, adhesive and Novus polish. Not forgetting his priceless and time saving advice expertise on
working with Acrylic.
Cheese for the very cool VFD graphics.
All the BiT-Tech team for their support and confidence.
Mrs macro and our 3 micros for enduring 4 days of modding mayhem and
carnage.
