Project Sinister: Out Comes the Evil - Adding a Sinister Handle
(Page 3 of 7 )
Taking a look at the top panel I decided to install something that was most definitely not in my original design. I really like case handles and wanted to install one that would fit into the theme of the mod and not detract from it. Whenever I mod I like to make my modded components fit in with each other and work well as a whole mod, not just as individually modded components. After a trip to my local hardware store I found a nice and heavy duty chest handle and, using the guide provided in the packaging, marked off where I was going to put the handle with grease pencil.
With the guide lines marked out I set to cutting it with my Dremel tool and the cutting wheel attachment. Once the hole was cut I checked the size to make sure the handle fit comfortably. Naturally the guide is only that: a guide. I trimmed a little around the edges and, once the handle fit, I marked and drilled the holes needed for the bolts to pass through to faster to the inside of the panel.
With the case handle installed in a relatively short amount of time, I looked to what work I had left to do. Naturally, the side panel was staring at me defiantly but the bezel was looking like a more attractive work project for the time being.
