Mod’n Roll 2012: Hi-Tek armoured case

[Diegojavbau]

Hi , this is my first time in this community , I´m glad to be here

I will join the contest (just for fun) I'm a modding fan and I will present my project Hi-Tek armoured case

The project is already participating in another tourneament in Aegentina (where I live) , I hope you like it.

Is a Thematic mod , inspired in games like Crysis 2 and MGS 4 , the main idea is to develop a computer armoured with the technology of nannosuite 2 and Snake armoursuite

Let's start with the side panel design (basic)

I made this pieces in MDF (1/2 inch) to get the desire shape

First the cuts

Every piece must be worked manually to get it into shape

Example

More pieces

More pieces made in MDF , this time in 5mm of thickness

Pieces glued in place

I worked on them to make the edges rounded

All the pieces together , this is for the fans of the top of the case

Same for the side panel

Complete side panel preview , with this new pieces , I can have 3 different highs , to make it look less flat than before

Do you think the MDF will rise the internal temperature of the cabinet?

Thanks , The cabinet will have two 12cm fans at the top taking out the hot air , 2 in the side panel and 1 more in the front blowing fresh air inside , temperatures will not be a problem.

MDF will not affect the final result , as you will see later

[Diegojavbau]

More pieces using the same materials and techniques , this time for the top of the case

Drawing

Cut

Edges cut in angle

Finish using rotary tool and sand paper by hand
