hehe stay tuned bro.. i only got 1 week to finish the casing.. if not the owner bising later

its looks kinda messy :haha:

lol that was just a mimic.. i hope it can end up like that (altho whats the point of getting a haf for that??, i need custom everything lol, including a custom top, custom acrylic reservoir and a shit loads of other stuffs that's hard to get here)

but now im just targeting into sumthing like this

bro,can ask got worklog for that nice setup ar ??

not really actually.. but if u go into http://www.million-dolllar-pc.com

there's a worklog for the SSF case w/ watercooling.. can't remember where.. i think it was hardOps

ahahhaha... i never realized that reiben does it again....

wowww... case baru nampak... bila nak mod mcm mountain mod case nih.. tak nampak pon lagi...

need to buy 4x CM HAF 932 to make it like mountain mod casing lolz...
infact it maybe even bigger than the mountain mod..

room..u should see the house!!...its a good thing i'm his step dad now...cud move in anytime soon heheheheheh

i know you need to buy a separate aluminum. then make your own custom casing. i think that's the better option than buying a mountain mod.. hahahahha... go reiben go~!!

yeah i guess so , i think i could build a case thats cube since u only need aluminium, lun there is selling some ..
just dont have the right equipment to build it zzz..

anyway the case has been strip naked..







the interiors shall be made full black .. the mesh on top shall be cut and replace with acrylic with 2x blowhole and also pre mounted 240 radiator grill

oh and i tried drilling the rivets off.. but the rivet'shead got stuck to my drill bit when drilling.. took a player and tried to pull it off
and end up like this


it broke into 3, cant find the other 2, fly dunno where.. lol

bro
got any idea wat colour can be use other than red??
i oso wan try on my HAF =P

lol.. usually cm haf will look good with red.. maybe orange also can..

how bout the lighting bro? wat are u gonna add? =)

Red CCFL's and red fans (the cm r4"s and maybe bling2 ones)

ever thinking of spray painting...add some decals...might look might fine...

decals o_O?? whats that lol..

decals....i think hes referring to stickers...XD

wowww... crazy... selling the house for that such a cheap stuff compared to house value.. hahahahhahah

already buy red paint
gonna start my job on CNY holiday
bro reben,fast2 finish ur modding
mayb i can cilok2 ur idea a bit

top panels cut

it'll look better once i've re-sprayed it flat black









pics uploaded.. btw i've painted some of the stuffs red

letting it dry atm.. will upload pics later..

the top panel cutted by what tool bro?seem abit rough

used a dremel for it.. cutting it was very hard =_= i broke like 10 cutting disc zzzz

used a file, grinding stone, sanding disc to smoothen it and a copper brush to polish it (make it shinny)

hopefully painting with remove some of the cacatness lol..

This post has been edited by reiben05: Feb 5 2010, 07:21 PM

cut by jigsaw or rotary tool ?

huhu ic..i think if using jigsaw will might help to reduce the rough cutting abit and yea more less work to fine the edge

rotary tool

yeah i suppose a jigsaw would reduce the rought edges

errr... i don't see any red finish yet

imo the cuts actually look quite ok from far.. unless ur seeing it from like.. 2cm in front of it then u'll notice its a bit rigid..

but i'll try make it smoother ^^

wait la kino zzz.. tired as hell.. been working since 3.00 just now =_=" now still spraying some parts red

go... faster.. go.. faster reiben... hahahahahahha

Ts , is metalic red ???

woah, top panel is curved due to the mesh for the fans right?
tough ohh...jiayou jiayou
looking forward to see ur reddish look

lol.. looks like i'll be working like a robot @_@

just normal red.. anchor brand...



interior side panel



from left to right

psu support, watercooling hole/psu cover and a radgirll (2x120)

fuking paper got stuck to the rad grill and zzzzzzzzz i need to re-paint it later.. fuking hate newspapper..




no idea what it is but its suppose to be a 5.25" bay convert to 3.5" bay i think

This post has been edited by reiben05: Feb 5 2010, 09:07 PM

yep.. the owner of the case wanted to keep the curve

if it were me, i just potong lolz..

oh and i lost 10 cutting disc just cutting the top.. all broken ..

i hate cutting meshes zzz..

u use normal cutting wheel or Reinforced Fibreglass Cutting wheel ??

just normal ones.. re-inforced a bit $$.. no money haha..

Bro , do u try TFC Xchanger - Monsta Extreme Radiator 420/360 before ?

nope.. never used that one before.. 140mm fans

all i can say is .......... that is one big hole

ya, use tools give better cutting...

the dremel disc easy to break when cutting steel, steel is much more harder and challenging to cut compare to aluminum.

Last time i cut my top panel for triple radiator setup on a05n using hack saw... manual method without machine

need lot of strength and patient

TS
u got asthma leh?
noticed the inhaler

the mesh was so big :/

hacksaw?? lol.. dont u have any other tools for that o.O??

yeah.. i got asthma since i was small.. now ok a bit..

don get too excited
since u have asthma ._.

no worries lol
i wont die just yet haha..

the only thing that can kill me right now is
3x Ferni GTX380 and its waterblock + TFC Monsta 420/360 + A nickel plated HK 3.0 + another Feser 480
ASUS Rampage III Extreme.. with its chipset waterblock
a mountain mod case

now that is what i call excitement

can imagine your asthma started already.
anyway, very nice mod

those hardwares cost more than a big bomb sia lolz..
gtx380 x.x
some more all is watercooled lol..

theres a poll on heatkiller website for a different materials heakiller, i like the white one a lot.

fermi hmmmm still waitin to c some solid numbers from it, and of course price if its 3k then hell no........

ohh didnt know meshes hard to cut..izzit..wow good to know...

gonna bodek my dad for that if my spm result is king

i have a geeling that fermi is gonna be around RM3000 too.. but performance wise.. the GTX380 should be around 30% better than the 5970.. not sure if its worth it the extra RM

the holes were pulling my rotary disc ... in the end they got stuck and broke zzz

lol everyone talking about fermi... but mine still using an old tech gpu.. ahahhahahaha.. maybe it's time i need upgrade to 'em..

lol no wonder u didn't put ur GC on ur siggy

yeahhh... it's an old technology gpu.. hahaha.. i'm rarely play games right now.. so no use to buy those high end gc... but it's enough for me to do my multimedia, intensive graphics works

, FYI, perempuan is some sort of water cooling also lol....



btw, nice job bro,

@reiben05, any new updates? Really cant wait to see your new update..

got myself a new drill bit .. gonna drill out the rivets inside the 5.25 bay and 3.25 bay
