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.

Some of the pictures :















Will updates more and more soon.

what kind of brand is that casing? O_o
and what kind of sponsor u looking for?

will looking foward...

Izzit a raidmax over there? Another high-cost modder here..

This is just a normal cap ayam casing bro.I am not rich to get original alienware case.
Oh ya,i am not looking for sponsors,thats why i mentioned "no sponsors are behind me"



Thank you bro.Ill keep up.



Nope dude.Its just a normal casing.Cheap one.
Well,i am not a high-cost modder.Just a starter (newbie)

anyway, if its was me. i would mod the top panel.. cuz the top panel looks like a flower horn fish to me..

@ocz
good luck bro, mine just complete phase 1, yet got 2 more phase.
ur casing i notice not raidmax due to top panel and alu quality.

yeah...looks alike Raidmax casing but i didn't noticed any Raidmax sign there...lolz.. i think u should change the casing color...i'll looking foward your worklog..

hmm.. i suggest changing the exterior's color as well if u didnt plan to....i would go black + red...
wow, putting a 7" LCD will cost u a bomb no?
1) Making a better air flow
- 2X 80mm intake.<-- change to 120mm for better air flow ma
- 2X 80mm exhaust.
- 2X 120mm on top.

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

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 ...

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 ...

thank you bro.I just started modding my case.
The upper part i cant do much about ut cuz it needs a lot of effort and time.



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.



Thank you too bro.Nice color combinations there.
Well,i will think more about putting the LCD.
i already ordered a small numeric blue lcd to put at the side panel to monitor my temp.

i say respray, window, chuck in some mad UV orange and yellow
get some l33t hardware, and the rest, just stick with your plans to bling it up

waitnig for ur modding..my eye always on this thread...make it da bomb bro...

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

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,i wont make so much bling for this project bro.I just want it to be smart and sexy.
Respray is a must.I am gonna send over my interior parts to be painted to black.Gonna use gun-paint.



Yo bro,hard la to make this project like a bomb,i am newbie only.
My budget is very tight to make this project,so i think it will take some time.
As always "mod with passion"

WTH OMG!! O__O Small LCD screen. smoookkeii~~
nice mesh.. honeycomb..

Haha,small only dude.
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.

The mesh also i bought from a forumer.Cheap.

Any possibility of modding it into Inverted ATX?

Yes,i am going to make to inverted ATX bro.Its like what i did to my previous mod.
I need to make it to inverted ATX because i need a space on top to put a 2 X 120mm fans as the intake.

I am currently waiting for some of stuffs i ordered to arrive.Then i can start the PART 3.
Well,i still don't know what to purchase for my mod.
