Hi boys and girls and to all modders.
Wellcome to my 2nd personal case modifications thread.

This time,i will mod a case that looks like an Alienware Casing.This case i bought from a good forumer in LYN.Very cheap.
I've been waiting for quite a long time to get a case like i own now and mod it.

The plans :
1) Making a better air flow
- 2X 80mm intake.
- 2X 80mm exhaust.

2) Painting (change color)
*Currently yellow.Maybe changing to two tone color :
- Metallic grey.
- Sparkling grey.

3) Converting to a Inverted ATX.
- The original power supply position in on top,so i am gonna make the position of the power supply to the bottom part.
- Ideas from bro Shawty.

4) Making see through panel.(plexi)
- Plain acrylic glass.
- AC Ryan Black acrylic glass.

5) Installing a small numeric & alphabetic LCD (blue)
- Still thinking where to put.

6) Cable management.
- Hiding all those unused cables for better air flow.
- Looks neat and clean.
- Smart.

7) Optional Mods.
- Fan controller.
- Lots more.

Friendly reminders :

A) Give me a comments / guide to help me out as i am new in this things.
B) Tips & Hints are mostly wellcome.
C) This mod gonna take sometimes due to my tight schedule.
D) Tools that i am using is not for professional usage.
E) No sponsors are behind me.

Thank you to all.Hope you all can enjoy my new incoming case modifications.

-OCZ-

Make both intake and exhaust to single 12cm would safe you the hassle of managing cables ..

you could do it by cutting acrylic with blow hole and mount it by cutting out the original mounting on the case ...

since u want to mod it like an alien hmm.gif

Pain it black and use more UV green or orange highlights ...

Personally I'd recommend orange because it would be more eye catching than the old school green ....

then cut the side panel with Alien's face shape on it ... brows.gif

Lastly cut portion of the door if possible and mount acrylic from inside and install the LCD screen at the drive bay ..

you could also cut alien eyes shape on the door ... brows.gif

Its not a raidmax.
About the colr,i think i will most probably use dark color.

Its hard to make a 120mm hole for the outtake bro.Cuz the rear part is quite small for me to put the fans.

Hi guys.Thank you for all the ideas and comments so far.I do really appreciate it. notworthy.gif

Today,i received some items for my case modifications project.
Those are :

1- Small LCD (blue backlight).
- To install it somewhere around my case to view the temperature,etc.

2- 120MM Ac Ryan Aluminium Radiator Grill.
-To cover up my 2X 120MM fans on the top part of my case.

3- 500X500MM Ac Ryan black mesh.
-I will use it to cover up some fans.
-Some of it i will use to do a touch up to make the case looks more different from original.

Haha,small only dude. sweat.gif
I have no money to get those bigger.

But still,i don't have the socket to put to the LCD.Its using a port (unknown name).
I hope to get the 7" inch LCD if the forumer agree with my offer. brows.gif

The mesh also i bought from a forumer.Cheap. thumbup.gif
