While I’ve been looking for new work I’ve also been keeping myself busy by working on a custom case mod for my system. Not only will I have something that is stylish but I’ll be moving into a full tower chassis. For those of you looking for a Jax3D update I don’t have one just yet, sorry.

I got an old Chieftec Dragon case from a friend of mine for cheap, and that’s where it began. The case was gun metal grey. Not terribly interesting, but definitely large enough to space out my components and hold whatever I need in the future. Case mods need a theme, something cohesive to hold everything together. So what better for a theme than the software that’s making Jackconville 3D possible: Lightwave.

I’ve been working on it during the weekends. It’s coming along quite nicely and will make a welcome upgrade from my current mid tower case. Here are a few of the changes:

• Custom side window in the shape of the Lightwave nautilus logo
• 92mm fan supports on front and rear (came stock with 80mm)
• Increased air intake on front bezel by removing fins and replacing with metal mesh
• Lian Li hard drive rack to replace removed caddy shelf

Anyone interested in following the work log for the process can shoot over to The Mod Brothers Web site.
