so far , things that i have finished ...

-cut the side panel for acylric.. measurement roughly around 2mmx420mmx580mm [done]
-fix all my WC gear inside the case (pump,nb-max and res) [done]
-ordered PSU sleeving gear and cable management stuffs [working on it]
-re-apply the proper way of TIM (OCZ Freeze) on my gtz, it spreads pretty evenly (checked ) and no dark spots alright.. [done]
-ordered a 120mm saw hole [done]
-ordered 5x 120mm fan grills [done]


things i still havent done:
-cut the other side of the panel (just for fun )
-re-lap my processor (if i have time)
-havent ordered any plexi glass/acylric yet [DONE]
-need a longer screw (M3) if i want to mount a fan on my side panel [ordered]
-get a diamond disc cutter [no $$ for it to expensive]
-get some crazy delta fans for fun lol.. [DONE, GOT 3x ULTRA KAZE]

well i still need some opinions on this:
-cutting a few holes on my mobo tray for E-ATX mobo psu cable + SATA cables [DONE]
-cutting the aluminium mesh on top of the case.. replace it with acylric and 120mm blowholes for fans (optional) [DONE]
-change from UV white tubings to normal transparent tubings as i dont have any uv cathodes.. only light blue ones or just get UV cathodes [DONE]

-pics will be uploaded soon
-did all of these with a drill and a dremel

here, my current side panel


my.. the paint pilled off =/ and this was from pulling a masking tape lol also there are a few minor scratches inside


whole setup =X

shouldn't u spread the TIM instead of putting a strip there ? but i tried spreading mine and it's just impossible coz its sticking to the spreader.
so i've wasted a lot. coolermaster thermal fusion somemore ..

lol no need to spread also can the weight of the cooler would spread it automatically haha i also thought need to spread end up using 1 whole tube of thermal compound ... like what u said haha

theres a blob and the strip way =D use google

and for ts i think the tim is enough lol

lol thats why i just put 1 thin line since the i7 die core is slightly longer than the normal core 2 duo's, spreading with hand/card seems to be impossible coz it end up sticking to the card/finger..let the weight of the heatsink spread on it, bolt thru kit seems the best for this job...


btw i just cut a square hole for my mobo tray.. now i can slot in the mobo-ATX psu and graphics card psu neater ..

next job to do, cut the aluminium mesh on top of the panel and replace it with acrylic (will be using scotch's double sided tape for sticking it... and also re-paint the case , its pilling off (fuk this is a very tiring job and $$ money)

the blow hole was no good!!!!!!!!

duh.. it was without a proper fan grill .. cutting it mostly base on assumption..

btw i have a adjustable saw hole now.. can't wait to use it, waiting for clamps
