created usb extension






created fan hole for Lianli A05N front. with a nice fancy 80mm grill

Added on February 16, 2011, 1:00 pmIt require 16mm hole size & depth of minimum 42-43mm.

Just need to connect as per normal how you would connect a casing's power on/off switch & power led light. ( blue/green/red )
Length of cable can be customized to shorter or much longer.

customized a back plate for TJ-07 inverted mod

yea, me shop is in SG, mod in sg.

me originally from johor, b.p. now that there's reply, i can put more pics up

lichye bro, we've the same casing. and I lov this A05 very much for the compact yet spacious size. i did a simple mod to my A05 & now able to house 8x 3.5" HDD

not so IT related. but i was contracted to a broadcasting system builder to do some jobs. this is high bandwith HDTV cable with Canare termination & cable.


custom made with canare audio cable for sound card to speaker


2tone uni sleeving


custom make Sata power cables with 18awg wires.


old watercooled rig, some of u might have seen b4, 1 of the earliest modded watercooled lianli rig to appear in LYN somewhere early 2003.
was a P4 2.0C processor & radeon 9800pro 128mb agp, 4x 256mb RD Ram ( RAMBUS ! then @ 800mhz memory )










on a side note guys, do NOTE that each psu manufacturers modular cable may use the same 6pin ( similar to pci-e 6pin ) connector to their psu.

BUT, the position of the wires : red ( +5v ), yellow ( +12v ), black ( ground ) is not always the same. Get the wrong cable, it will be disastrous. I dont know what will happen but i guess explosion

attached are some references. if anyone need help in this, i will try my best to guide u get the correct wiring.

TJ-07 sidepanel,

Silverstone SG02 mod. i've done quite a few of this mod already, this one is mroe recent. ( last week )
Sidepanel modded + top added another 120mm fan hole. Fan will be using slim 15mm x 120mm fan on top of case. ( outisde ).









Sony Vaio PC mod. added top hole & cut side panel & added a small LCD thermo reader at the side.

Sony vaio case. very rare sight from a european customer. back of case has a sticker that says made in czech republic.
Upgraded from old DualCore to Sandy.







cut a small squarish hole to put a LCD thermo probe for fun.

my ex-rig, built around year 2005.

Definitely uv infested rig. my modding skill was limited at that time. so played with only colored cables.

i remember each & every one computer i build. be it my customers' or mine.

Athlon64 3000+ processor. fastest single core cpu in that era. enjoy !

happen to dig out this 1yr ++ ago work.










along with some 6mths ago Silverstone FT-01 case.

Nicely blacken.





carefully sprayed it black.

RED psu sleeving.

all the differnt types of pins & connectors.. d.i.y repair. uh huh ! and they're all in B.L.A.C.K

Added on April 22, 2011, 7:53 pmhalf through building this FANLESS HTPC case. processor & gpu will be cooled via custom heatpipe to the case's massive heatsink on both side. can't wait to complete this thing after i figured out the reposition layout for the psu & hdds.

the case is HFX media pc fanless case. $1k++

Hey all, something interesting for u all to follow up for the next 1-2weeks till completion. I welcome all ideas to make this project cost effective & simplest possible.


The condition & objective to build this system are :

- Small & portable ( size of a m-atx casing or smaller if possible )
- A/C Powered.
- use of 3x 120watt peltier
- cooling area, size of a rear mini van.
- cooling environment estimate to be 35c-40c-45c-50c depending on weather


Video show a start up test.

On the hot side, temp is ok with the heat pipe heatsink rated to hold 160watt. I will be using this heatsink & a 92mm fan to draw heat out.

With the thermal probe i have in store, one to the heatpipe ( blue ) one to the cold heatsink ( orange )

Estimate temp i recorded for both hot / cold side.

COLD - 6c / HOT - 36c <-- Fan at max speed
COLD - 10c / HOT - 43c <-- Fan speed controlled, about 70%
COLD - 10c / HOT - 58c <-- Fan speed controlled, lowest speed, 20-30%
COLD - 15c / HOT - 70c <---- Fan off, at this point, the heatsink with no fan running gets really hot to the finger & the WIRES from psu start to get really HOT too !

further testing, with improved heatsink, yielding a cool average of -2c at the cold area. the entire fin cooling area after the heatpipe is not so cold, fluctuating between 5c-10cm due to open area.

here's my final modifications. i use a 2mm aluminium sheet as divider.

Top - HOT
Bottom - COLD

Fan controller will be implemented to regulate the temperature at the hot side, also in away of controlling the cold side. more heat out = more cold at the bottom.

Cold will blow out cold air through the front of the casing ( with a front exhaust hole for cold air ). and another hold at the rear ( PCI area for heat to get out , coupled with a large air duct to route the hot air away nicely.

still working on it, will be powering up all 3 peltiers today to see the result.

more improvements will be adding insulating foam to trap cold inside & at the lower section. it'll be like a sealed up lower section from outside. This casing is an aluminium casing, it draw heat/cold very quickly.
