"Project: BlueIce G4" Page 3 - surgery

First from, editthispage.com, experience I started on the case covers. I put the case covers on a black towel in my bath tub and poured the alcohol into it letting it pool in the middle and soaking the cloths warps on the edges.

Wile the case covers were soaking I started to cut the chassis with my pre-determined measurements. I first tried a hand/hack saw but went through busting 3 blades. I then switched over to a dremel which was slow going but more accurate and met my desired results.

After going though 4 cutting wheels on the dremel I was done mod'ing the case with its new windows.

I then checked on the cover and the paint was disolving nicely. The middle of the case goes first and then the edges take a while longer with some help with q-tips.

I began filing the edges of the newly dremeled G4 chassis to prevent cuts while handling it and for esthetics.

Back to check on the alcohol bathing cases. With more help with q-tips cases are now transparent, kewl!

Lets see if my sticky notes will work . . .

The G4 case covers soking in alchohol, a long slow process.

With dremel in steady hand I let the sparks fly. I tried a hand saw but busted 3 blades before I switched to the slower, but better dremel.

After a couple of hours the paint on the inside finally starts to disolve reveling the clear cover.

The G4 chassis with the pieces I dremeled off. Time for edge sanding/filing, a vacuum and cleaning.

Back to the Bed, the case feels much lighter now.
