I took a dremel to my Shuttle case lid!

I know this isnt a PC modding site but I thought I would show you a little work I did this afternoon on my Shuttle case.

I decided to do a little modding on my Shuttle, its been a while since I've done any computer modding. Buying a house and renovating it can take its time.

I wanted to cut a nice shape on the one side of the case lid, something a little different than a square hole, so I decided to do the Shuttle XPC logo.

I got the logo from the Shuttle website, manipulated it to give me an outline and then printed it out. I then cut out the inside of the printed logo, masked off on the case and then transfered the design over with a pen.

After a few hours of dremeling, filing, filing some more and more filing I ended up with something not looking too bad. The space will be filled with mesh instead of perspex. The middle part of the 'P' will be added once I cut another hole and I have some mesh behind it.

Heres a little piccy, I had to put some paper behind the cut so it becomes visible on the picture.



Let me know what you think.

I have a past as well If I can find the links...

Here it is http://aphdesigns.co.uk/gallery/ That page is over a couple of years old and the current PC it talks about, isnt!

Here is a new pic of the cutout using the monitor as a nice backlight.
