Thanks! Yes, the MM cases are built very well and the designs are wonderful blank canvases. I’ve got a Bob Slay in smoked acrylic for modding after I finish everything for this one.

Awesome rig. Great

Awesome rig.
Great paint.

Those MountainMods scream for modding don’t they?
I’ve modded two myself.

Thanks, Bruce. ;) No

Thanks, Bruce. ;) No watercooling in as yet. Taken a few days off between being physically shot, and seeing to some much neglected things around the house. One of the Blackfire fans (shakes fist at ACRyan) decided it wants to run but not light up any longer, so have one on order. Also giving the PCI brackets for the video card and sound card the same mesh treatment as the blanks to match. Will be posting some update pictures in a week or two.

Thanks for the congrats –

Thanks for the congrats – it was tense in the last couple of days watching your posts! Have you got the water cooling in now? Got my vote for this battle! Good luck, Bruce

Shi is a comic book created by William Tucci, that has run for over ten years with a variety of publishers. One of the most treasured series in my comic collection, I jumped at the chance to do a case mod theme based on Shi and her story. I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I do.

Included are rough sketches of the case front and top. There will be some surprises perhaps not outlined in the rough sketches. Check out the full worklog at:

FINISHED!! WOOHOO!

It has been quite the wild ride with this project. Learned a number of things including the right tool for the right job is essential. Also, if your Dremel is heating up, give it a rest or it may take one for you. ;P

The system will be getting water cooling soon and an install of a brand new copy of Vista Ultimate 64-bit to take advantage of all that wonderful Crucial Ballistix Red ram.

Hope you like the mod and perhaps decide to investigate the story of Ana Ishikawa, known as Shi.

ACK!

Good lord… we’re under the gun for the deadline tonight and what happens… Dremel burnout. Yep, that ugly electronic smell, no more cutting, followed by a quick grab to unplug the infernal thing. Well, guess this old girl got a strong lesson in proper tools for the job (tool newb here and don’t have many.).

Modding On

With deadline looming closer, the modding has stepped up. Since there isn’t enough time for a proper leak test, for purposes of this contest, the rig will be air cooled. I have a 9600 GT and a cooler on hand for the CPU.

Progress on the window, which is now installed, the modified Zalman fan controller is complete and fans installed in the case. Polishing the screw heads took a while with the Dremel! Found overall having a Dremel Scroll Station would have made a huge difference in both time spent and wear and tear on my hands. On my list of impossible dreams now. ;P

Progress!

Yes! Actually some progress on the mod this weekend. First, thought I’d take a quick shot of my workspace. Fans, pump wires, switches and leds sleeved; Test fit with 80mm fan, hexx mesh and u-channel; Panels masked and marked for drilling and cutting.
