(Totorial)HOW TO CUT YOUR CASE THE EASY WAY

What you need is a spare case not one u need if this is your first time lol.
Other wise it will look like this if u rush it.


That was done by a friend that used a dremial cutting tool. That tool is for more advance user.

Ok now u have your image on the case u want to drill a bunch of holes like this.


Once u have holes drilled u want to work from center out i have found it easyier, an cut all the tiny stuff out as well.
Now i use a jigsaw with felt on the bottom of the plate because if felt now there it will scratch the case and that means alot more work to fix.
After all cut out it should look like this.


Now you are going to want to flip it over and start pulling of the support braces so your plexy glass will lay flat on the back side. Hear is what u should be removeing.




Now that all that fun is done the rest is cake. U will want to clean all the edges with at least 320grit or higher so it dont leave scratches. And next prime an paint your case to your likeing.
I hope this helps the new modders and u will learn diffrent tricks along the way.
U might want to start with an easy cut out like this.

Remeber measure twice cut once can't glue peices back lol. Hope this helps

what to use for plexy

i use 3m two way tape the thinner stuff works sweet never falls of and its the cleanest look i have done and glue makes a mess two way tape is instant hold once u put preasure its staying there. P.S> leave the other film of plexy glass intill u you have it stuck so u don't have finger prints all over the glass once mounted to the case then remove last peice of protective film an woo hoo its nice and clean looking and your plexy is on your case.

Ima do all this when I cut my window.

Hey if there anything i can try to help with let me know guys i have done it all pretty much when it comes to customizing things.

Pop rivets would look amazing on a mechanical / machine mod sort of console. Add some "rust" underneath it, make it look aged. That could be KILLER!
