before start the project,do sum math 1st. calculate which place should cut


then the project is officially start. 1st to do is dis assembly all rivet. n there r where i wan to put the 5 3/4" bay.


after do sum marking n lining,is ready to cut it into smaller. N bent all the edge.


cut a hole for the PSU,the hole is too big,so i use a alu sheet become the bracket


after done the sandin,tape the masking tape on it.n draw the place wan to cut.


when cutting n bendin is done

and arcylic easy to cut and nice too
can add window to it also


generic led switch... i think it is ok for the look fot that price
real vandal bulgin illuminated cost rm70 per switch if u import for overseas

that photo i take from i-cute casing 1.
the front panel n cover, i plan to use alu. more similar to sg-01 mar.
coz is sg01 inspire me de.

windows like this



anyway... great job...

ps... cut that switch out and put it on the mod

actually i'm think to do a circle window on the other side,to show the GC's fan. but still thinkin la. haven decide.
SG-01 really nice ,i like the simple outlook.

the switch no need cut out,i do myself 1
