After the powder coating and the laser cutting done, i send the top panel, 2 side panel and front panel for spray. Choose the red color to suit my theme...












Ok now the most interesting part! watercooled!

Ek Supreme HF - Plexi in action


Bitspower - Black Freezer GTX460 Acrlic Clear TOP


Koolance RAM-33 Ram Block ( pair with the 2 90's with C47 multi transfer adapter and 3 slots multilink tube)


I decided to mount the radiator at the back by using the EK-Uni Rad Holder. actually i want to drill below the fan hole for the tubing from radiator...but ill use 90's rotary for awhile.


Ok here is the final layout of it...next update will be the tube routing. instead of using normal tube routing method, i guess ill play around with some twist method

nama projek tak boleh blah. best tak mobo tu? rasa cam nak beli seketul.

great inverted mod. look forward for the top slot load dvdr drive in action.

bro,how big is ur window ?
do u coat the side n top panel too ?

creative wat? temjin + m3gene = TemGene
best mobo ni...kiut. bli lah...tp cam dah xde orang jual jer

its a been a long time i wanna own an inverted atx mod...but if do this in this case have to sacrifice the 5.25" bay as it will touch the mobo tray.
for the dvdrw top slot load im still working on the mounting...maybe wanna do plexi mount. see how 1st...still researching.

window is 350mm x 357mm and the hole area is 205mm x 215mm
for the side and top panel i will spray 2k red on the outside and inside will spray to black...
