why not make the casing smaller?

nais... but arent this a little... big?

try made one by minimizing the size.
something like stack the psu on the mobo... just my 2 cent

agree

try make it ngam-ngam fit a psu inside. that's the point of itx, small

wah..look big..for ventilation purpose?i think it would be better if can squeeze into smaller size case...

anyway... this is really a nice one...
i plan to do one myself but dun have the time...

nowadays i venture into full atx already

coz wanna make it btx style.
next project would be SFF

btx in a sff?
haha... anyway, it still qualify as a sff coz the size is still small compare to the other case.

should cut those extra molex (sleeveless) wire ?

nice cutting at the i/o backplate, nice 3d effect at the skull

the psu dont have any bottom mounted fan?

also where to mount the dvd drive?

i think u can see the hdd mounted on above picture...
and the psu is single 80mm fan so no problem mount like that...

btw, wow... u skill is really polished... wounder when i can get those skills.

tat is a cheapo PSU,no bottom fan.
my PSU mounting is terbalik 1,if got bottom fan then will become top fan.

i dun put dvd drive in tis case.
front (skull) will be a 120mm fan intake.

thank for viewing !!!

nice cutting u have there...

looking good ..

thanks for support.
the casing is with my fren rite now installin window. coz i noob bout software,format...

the psu had spary to black, blue ring illuminate switch install, acrylic add for leg of the case.
will post a photo when get back my rig.

hmm one question

hole saws?? doubt theres a drill bit that big and even if there is.. no way the holes were smooth..

buy from oversea

finally it's done !!
the teeth of the skull hav broken already ,n add a fan grill for the 120mm intake fan.



install with Window 7

grats for finishing
was wondering when it'll be done lolz
if ur skull was still there
it would probably look nice
now that it's gone
it's a simple looking case
didn't show the insides?

btw, do u hav the white/opal acrylic thingy?



haha

This post has been edited by Jinster: Jan 29 2010, 01:02 AM

dun wan too complex,later cannot finish.
the white arcylic got,tis type is not solid white. so the light can go through it.

but the source also need enuff bright.

haha
okies~
thanx for the info ^^

home made casing...nice one...
the skull will make the case more 'garang"...
sad skull didn't survive..but it still nice..

bro,
the cost for the project?
still awesome even w/o the skull

the skull can rebirth de as i use chorofoam to stick back.
but dun wan la,scare later broke again n spoil my fan

the cost din count oo, but the casing is PRICELESS ~

yup.. agree.

totally priceless dude

just curious bout the cost.. might order 1 from u

buy is the best for those ppl that dun hav tools.
got tools but no skill also waste money.

i cant do back same like tis casin anymore liao,coz tis is the one.
next arcylic casing ,bLinD BliNd maybe

when it is custom made, it'll always be a one of a kind, the second copy would not always be exactly the same
as a suggestion, u could screw the skull logo thingy like how those fan grills are screwed in front of the fan

take more angle ler.... its look gigantic

shud add light inside so that the shadow of the skull can be projected. haha. will be darn awesome.

must bundle with wiping cloth to remove fingerprints!

nice touch there!

simple and mini casing woots!! with transparent side panel would look awesome too

updated !!

Finally done my skull fan grill. use matte black sticker, apply on 3mm acrylic n cut !!


the stock fan screw not enuff long, so i get sum screw from hardware shop


but they dun come with nut , so i did tis

custom nut.

n finally,this is it ! Front

rear

some suggestion , want install the front fan behind of the skull ? and put ur "net" infront ur that fan oso . will like nice ? and i suggest u spray the internal case become black , and put UV light + some light . then i think perfect , and spray ur fan oso . include cpu fan

and .... this mobo so old =="

oh.. it is easy to glue it using chloroform? instant stick or need to wait?
i only use superglue when i built my "drawer case' a couple of years back.
it is hard to find chloroform that time. but , u can see a whitish spot all over glued area

yup, mimo TS monitor was really cool. suitable to put at ur case as 2nd monitor too, interested to get one?

the front skull suppose is 120mm fan intake,but screw not enuff long.so din put lor
lazy to redo again n again la.

next time upgrade mobo oni do a new casing
