Well it's time this has been updated. Last week me and my friends tried to work on it. We went over to his house and brought our computers incase we got bored. Well we all have A.D.D. because we played counter strike and various other online games for hours and got nothing done on the case. Last night we went to his house without any computers strictly to work on the case. We still didn't get much done =). But here is what we did get done.
Well we start out the day nice and early with a health breakfast. Here are the two main ingredients in a superb modder's breakfast.
Now off to work. As you can see we have already traced out the plexi and cut it with a dremel making sure to go slow and not melt the plexiglass.
I already drilled the holes for the bolts that will hold the glass in place. I did this by going from the viewable side to the back to prevent flares from the drill. We then used a smaller bit drilled a pilot hole and then a larger bit to make the actual hole.
Okay here are a couple of mentally ill people I brought down form the hospital to hold my case up for the picture. Well actually they are my friends and we are all doing the case together.
We removed the protective covering from the plexi and washed it with windex to give it that nice clean look.
Here are my friends again holding up the side panel with half of the nuts installed and the glass tightened down on it.
We wanted to see what it looked like on an actual case so we put it on the side of one of my friends many computers.
This is a close up of the HL² symbol.
Here is the case turned on and the flash off.
Next we are frosting a piece of glass to go over the 2 on the side panel.

Next up on the case we have to do another window for the opposited side. Continure cutting out the Half Life on the top and buy all the materials such as lights and things that will go inside of the case.
