PROJECT R102 oakley_870 Oct 20th, 09, 12:05 AM #1 (permalink)
with all the recent hypes on this superbly cheap and well built casing. both me and inxlee have decided to come together and have a small little project of giving this little casing some attention and details that it need.

today was the "open the box" day, and we surveyed the parts and discussion possible modifications and design possibilities. and of course we pooled in our resources of the laser cutting machine, CNC and milling machine and some other heavy machineries at our disposal.

so for a start. before i start posting images. i shall present some concept 3d visuals to give a rough idea to how the 1st set will be modded.
