Shadow of Prodigy

[HCP]

Well, this is gonna be a quick quick weekend mod.
I already have my workstation up and when i looked at the Bitfenix Shadow i liked the shapes.

So this little front panel mod is about combining the Bitfenix Prodigy and Shadow.

Well, let´s go!

My workstation right now

Specs
AMD A10 6800k
16gb GeIL EVO Veloce
2x120gb Intel 320 SSD
VTX3D Radeon 7950 X-Edition Boost
Custom watercooling, 240mm radiator in the top with Be Quiet! fans and red led 140mm fans in front and back.

And here´s how it looked before i was tired of the front piece

And the Bitfenix Shadow i got inspired by.

The shape

Right now...
Fan controller will be lifted out to the same level as the new front panel.

Looking good, i can't wait to see more

 

[Feronix]

Nice! Is it going to be a door that can open and close or just stuck in its position?

 

[HCP]

No door, doesnt have anything behind it that i need to get to
Just a mesh in the bottom for intake of air and a dust filter.

But its big enough to house a 120, maybe a 240 radiator outside the case, hmm that got me thinking...
Well, its my current workstation i probably wont do anything advanced, maybe next version

More pics in a few hrs, epoxy and glue drying right now.

Well, here is the rough shape. I may be putting in an angle in the lower part of the front also, dont know yet.
Some filing and putty/bondo to do now!

Almost burned my brain out getting this angles correct

 

[WYP]

very nice!

 

[HCP]

And when looking at it now, i feel that the handles on top doesnt fit anymore.
So i need to make something for the top also

 

[FlangeBBK]

really nice idea dude, gonna be good for sure!

 

[HCP]

Well, primer on. Some small surface sanding to do before final paint. (black).

Dont know if i want the fan controller in the front either, just a high polished aluminium bitfenix logo.

 

[Bartacus]

Wow! You do excellent work sir. Always a pleasure seeing your threads!

 

[maniac]

[HCP]

Wow! You do excellent work sir. Always a pleasure seeing your threads!

Thank you, just wait for the finished case

that looks cleaannnn! is that a crack on the left side?

Thanks!
No cracks, my finger in wet primer
Its a spray filler/primer to fill all small pores and scratches.

[HCP]

99% done now, i put my fat fingers on the front piece, noticed it now when i packed away the camera, well...
Flash on camera makes color diff bigger than its really are.

have some re-aligning to do on the logo, and lower it a bit.
Went with a brushed alu style on it

Final pics soon, will take them daytime to prevent bad pics

 

[Feronix]

That looks sweeeeet!

Though I'm not a fan of the huge logo, sorry

Great mod, man. Looks like something from original Star Wars episodes. Lord Vader would be proud.
