Hey , i think this is the 1st time i ever mod or in this case recolor/spray a pc casing. Thing is, i wanted to buy a blue color/theme pc casing but havent got any luck n i came across this casing, really unknown to me. X5 Raynor Tower G1. Its cheap at only rm150.00 Only things in, its only available with red detail.. so, i think why not respray myself, if anything goes rong o wel at least its not some rm4xx ++ branded pc case So the rules stat i need a project name eh? This is now codenamed: Aoi

Im a total noob at spraying or any case mod in that matter so bear with me , anyhoo.. lets begin!

The Victim


Original/Stock condition , nothing wrong with red i think , it just i wanted blue

Loving the design..

Wanted to see how stock fan looks like , so i decided to go ahead n put system in first n give it initial run..


N also wanted to see these in action! Aerocool Shark fans


Moments later..


more and more moments later.. finally ! System on! 12cm n 14cm in action


The front side blue light are barely seen.. so i open it up see whats going on inside,
n found out , not only it got filter..


..even the grille mesh also got 2nd filter! this case really hate dust!


So i taking the 2nd filter off.. so the blue light can shine through!


n did the same on top! notice the power LED also blue!? i knew this case is blue at heart


Moar to come!

OK back to modding bussiness.. taking shield off!


Equipping this grant case +25% Armour and +150% Coolness
Notice the dust filter? those thing make light dimmer and cut CFM in half! ( assuming only ) im soooo taking that off!


All red thinggies are coming off!


Darn it this little devil was so hard to come off!


Phew.. finally.. notice the clipping allover the platics? quite a feat for mere detail plastic for a cheapo casing dont u think?


Bits n pieces off, u guys are going to be blue'ed


Things are getting blue.. Next!

@kuntawakaw i bought it ay Jayacom Danga Mall , JB

thanks guys,its only a recoloring jobs nothing more

me color choice , Sparkling Blue! kinda deep darkish blue with metallic effect.. kinda.. n yea its like rm9 a can , keeping the dirt cheap concept here haha


everything hanging.. for blue bath


few moment later..
disaster!! while hanging it dry.. ive accidently hang too low that the last bit hit the floor n..


others fortunately are saved! please bear with the spray finished quality.. i seriously need tips about spraying things


kinda loving the blue


fitted the detail bits ..


almost 1 hour mending n scraping n finally respraying.. phew.. this is an important bit for me coz...


remember the logo ive taken from front casing?


Hmm.. all that spraying only use up like less then half the can only.. maybe i should spray more?

moar blue'ing next!

@hamswat i bought at Jayacom

Decided to spray the casing for top part also..


Phew.. turnout using normal selotape also can


and also the shield got sparkling blue border'ing


some questionable spray quality at both side top


put all together.


another view


this conclude the project Aoi overall im kinda satisfied with it


Thanks all for viewing .. oh n yea..

BONUS pics..

for some wierd reason its rm35 a piece, both 14cm n 12cm but i got no choice bcoz no other place got ready stock in my place

it certainly louder then most but better cooling power. eg my 6850 idle temp is now 43-45 compare to old case which is almost 50

of course my last case not even got any 12cm only 8cm , now use 1x14 n 2x12 as intake fans

ive used raidmax smilodon before.. compare to this, smilodon got almost none cables management n only house 80mm fans ( other then front 120mm )

this case, for its price, is just plain amazing!

btw, thanks all hehe

thanks n yes it is sparkling blue. but the outcome is more sparkling dark blue n almost aqua color. u know lah.. these cheap tin spray, u never know what u gonna get!

lucky i like the blue tone , if not might respray oso

yup. simply bcoz Aoi means blue lol

trololol! yaoi..??

haruyaoi.. no its comes with 0 fans hence the cheap prices. to me ok lah, coz that time i wanted the aerofins!
