(NOTE: This is a completed project, for the final pictures, jump to page 3. thx for viewing )

prologue (lolz....): this mod has been ongoing for the past 2+ months (and its pretty slow going due to bz-ness) but recently only i got time to do this worklog. hope u guys enjoy this mod and i truly welcome and appreciate all criticisms and constructive point outs. anything u think i'm doin wrg plz do correct me as this is my first case mod project. i codenamed this project "Insendious"

i'll be writing this worklog accordingly with the sequence of my work. enjoy



after a long long long time of awwing and oogling at other ppls awesome works.... i've finally decided to start mine

bear with me ladies and gentlemen, and take a seat, its gonna be a bumpy ride, lolz

my fren upgraded his casing from a storm scout to a rv-02 *lucky bustered*
so y not buy over his case to mod since its a cheap case? lets do this thumbup.gif since i'm kinda reluctant to work on my bigger haf 932 cuz err.... it kinda cost me alot? lolz

an intro to this rig i'm gonna build, this rig will have a evga nforce 790i ultra sli for a mobo and a Q9650 for my cpu. well, this old school mobo and cpu is something i've wanted for a long time, and i'm finally getting those. hahaha. both of these i got from ebay, the guy sent it to my friend studying in us and she brought it back for me haha thats awfully sweet of her dun u think? lolzzzzz. thx anyways!!! the rest of the rig i'll show u as we go along aites?
sry to say that i cannot show u any initial pictures of the casing's condition cuz i kinda tore it apart the second he took all his
hardware out from the scout...

but i'm glad to say that i CAN show u the inital pictures in bits and pieces of the casing





well, since it was used for quite some time it was pretty dusty, normal stuff. UNTIL i took out the steel handle bars. i was like OH EM GEE



well, i really didnt expect handles to rust this bad. seriously, no protective coating? i gonna need to do something bout those.

so first things first, i've decided to make this a very high air flow case. which means mounting a LOT of fans onto my case which includes making blowholes for additional fan inputs and improve the existing ones. i kinda look high and low for holesaws but nobody sells a holesaw around 120mm or 140mm which is quite a bummer. worst case scenario, dremel it myself? lolz. i asked my dad and he told me to send it to a engineering workshop to do it. so y not? time to make measurements and mark all the points for drilling and cutting.

i use masking tape to draw on the dimensions and stuff.





yup, 2 140mm fans on the top. 1 i juz gonna cut it to improve airflow and the other gonna cut a fresh new hole. same goes for the plastic.



likewise, cut a hole for the front intake for better airflow



and i have special plans for the sidepanel without the acrylic window so i used masking tape again to allow me to draw the template of the sidepanel window and what else better to use as a template if not the existing one







so with that done its time to send it off to the pros at metal cutting lol. and i'll move on to the sleeving XD

This post has been edited by valor89: Mar 28 2014, 02:17 PM

yup, sleeving time!!!!!
this will be my first time sleeving and hell, i went through hell learning all the hooks and crooks of cable sleeving. so i started sleeving the cm sickle flow fans and normal 140mm fans which i ordered.





lolz. i think 6 120mm and 4 140mm is juz nice dun u think?
so meddling around, decided that it'll be too troublesome to keep the 3 pin to 4 pin adapter that most fans has. so y not juz cut them off and rewire them???



yes i know the right one was the fail one. wakakaka i eventually cut it open again and rewire to the left one. lolz.

well, since this a green and black themed mod it isnt right to leave the red power and hdd leds right?



so off they go, and green is the new red (no offence to fans of red leds, i myself am one, with my red led haf 932 lolz. its juz i wanna try different colour nia. chill k?)

lolz, so with that outta the way, bring in the picture galore of my new sleeved cables i'm so loving sleeved cables, its so awesome its blinding me

if anyone of u caught sight of the lamptron humvee 5.25" bay switch, yes i'm planning to make all my fans led to on and off at my direct command.

lolz. problem was, it didnt work. i rewire the fans led exactly from this website, http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=154804 while his worked, mine didnt. 3 of the leds will work. but 1 wont. finally at my last test, the led burnt with a big pop, sparked and fzzzz with a small jet of fire. and smoke was visible and my sis was like, what smell is that????

sry no pics for that incident. so i decided to go with an alternative and cut every single led off. since the fans are transparent, y not use ccfl to make it shine instead? since it'll be my first time using ccfl, decided to do a bit of research. well, someone said the cm aurora was good. well, got it, and to me it was hands down junk it was yellow when it was suppose to be green. and not even a pleasant yellow. if anyone wants a peek at it i'll upload it aites.

finally ordered some from niclasteoh. nucleartech ccfl. and package arrived!!



hooked it up, and walllaaa!!!! brilliant and awesome green.



heres a few more pics in low iso and low aperture to captivate only the ccfl radiance. wakakaka.





well, the ccfl wasnt the only thing in the package from niclasteoh. it came in this big box lol



here comes the acrylic sidepanels which i ordered and engraved on.









all i can say is niclasteoh made a fine job for this. making sure that he has every detail i want and he even went as far as redesigning it for me so that the cnc machine could engrave it. really recommended if u guys planning to get ur acrylics

well, now u understand y i'm cutting a window for the other side panel. well, since its green its only befitting for a snake to be its emblem, and the name insendious, well, i kinda created the name for a snake for a novel i was working on, and was inspired by the fire spell in harry potter the picture of the snake is NOT mine, i found it on google images lolz. so i dun hold ownership or copyright for this images in case the owner comes looking for me lolz >.< the font for insendious is the kingdom hearts font which i downloaded from dafont.com

background stories aside, here are some acryllic fan grills which will be stuck onto the top plastic part of the case where the newly formed blowhole is at



This post has been edited by valor89: Sep 2 2011, 02:46 AM

well well well, here are the freshly cut (well, not very fresh right now though ) top and sidepanel of the case!!!! the top is pretty well cut. and not to mention they use a dremel to do it. pretty sweet skills i must say.



and here is the sidepanel. well, if u ask me it looks as if they abit like simply cut la. lolz. the edges they didnt curve properly and so. and the edge towards the front of the panel they cut more than they shud. so a lot of repairing will need to be done.





here is the panels side by side for ur viewing pleasure



and i was deciding if i wanna put the acrylic grill on top or btm.





and oh well, i settled for btm

and i forgot to mention package from lingloong!!!!



yea, what else is more beffiting than the xfx black edition psu to go with this theme? haha.



and the purpose i put the psu in is to measure up for the psu cover that i'm gonna make from green acrylic. i've decided to mount my psu this way cuz well, the fan on the psu is juz gorgeous and the psu side label here is nicer as well. haha.

more cable sleeving action as i've got more sleeves and a 24pin and 8pin extension from topazzatale. his sleeves are awesomely good. high density at a very good price. thumbs up bro
here goes sleeving the extension. i use a led leg and a tweezer to remove the pin haha







a pretty good first shot i guess. except i accidently broke 1 contacting pin and had to salvage the pin from another psu. its in good working order now but 1 cable is shorter than the rest. i think i'll fix it on a later date. anyhoo, heres the final product





spanking, dun u think?

well, woke up and package arrival!!! yup, i ordered something new from lingloong





yup, the thermaltake jing. a pretty good spec cpu cooler with an awesome colour to suit this theme.
opened it to take a look at this beauty.



and juz mounted it onto the mobo to make sure the mobo heatsink doesnt clash with the cpu cooler



and what do u know? err...... 2 maybe 1 mm clearance. phew... that was close. lolz.
and disassembled for a possible makeover *hint*



well, and now you're up to date with my work log

today i juz done the hardmods for the steel handles, the top metal and plastic, and side panel. and overall also the painting. i thought i was gonna take a week but done it in 1 day. what do u know?

so heres my current dilemma. the thermaltake jing, as u all know, it has a well, pretty ugly beige grey kinda colour but an awesome coloured fan. so i need all of ur opinions. shud i paint it to black? looking forward to ur opinions

This post has been edited by valor89: Sep 2 2011, 04:33 AM

long time no see people mod in green, nice job bro. cant wait for the outcome huhu

*DROOL*

moar2

just go for it. we never know the outcome if we dont try. btw black suit up with any other color. if mess up, just rendam with dettol for 20 min. the sray paint should be easy to tanggal

haha. juz trying new colour. i wasnt a fan of green till now XD

haha thx bro

will update tonight

true. worst case scenario i can repaint it back to the original colour. lets see what others think first aites. thx for the input

Holy sweet motherboard....

Nice sleeving job dude , though kinda feel your using too much heat shrink tubing on the cable...

this thing for sure will glow like hell in your room. No need to turn on your room light anymore.

anyway, nicely done for the psu cable sleeving. nice

previous owner of the storm scout reporting in! WAKAKKAKAKA.. so far, looks awesome! though i do agree bout the heat shrink. loll

haha. i muz agree with the mobo
i kinda like long heat shrinks. haha personal preferences i guess. thx though

hahahaha. yea 4 pairs of ccfl. thats y i'll be including some mods to make sure it doesnt really light the whole thing up. main purpose of the ccfl is to replace the fan green led which i lost.
thx for the compliment on the cable sleeving



wakakaka. i transforming ur dust collector to a vacuum cleaner wakakaka. hows that??? lolz

walllawehhh..superb mod

UPDATE!!!! wakakaka~ this is what i did yesterday... er... 1/9/2011 lolz

got started on the hardmods. so first things first i took out my powertools to start with the grinding to remove all the rust that accumulated (my bad i took so long before i started the hardmod lol)
and well, i kinda forgot to take pics while i was doin all those so very very sry hahaha.

i also popped all the rivets holding the top part of the case so i can grind it easier, sand a bit then start with the paint job.
nothing spectacular though. but the paint had a very nice coat. i used the flat black TOA brand. for me TOA is the best cheapo spray paint. only rm6 for acrylic lacquer which is a pretty good price compared to the crappy aerosol spray paint cans useless one.

heres the top part of the case where i removed being painted on



well, after so many years of learning the art of spray painting i can gladly say that i am satisfied with the outcome hahaha. my first real spray paint job was to paint my silver toshiba satellite L310 in 2009. well a lil sidetrack pics







coming back heres the side panel which i took my time with this. lolz. took a while to smoothen and curve the edges. also included 2 bumps towards the front to mask the chunk metal they took off when cutting it. but i'm pretty satisfied with the outcome its already sanded with 120, 200, 400 grit sandpaper to smoothen it out.



heres the front panel where the front intake fan is suppose to be. here i juz grinded, lightly sanded and sprayed on the flat black. take note for this metal parts i did NOT use any primer as i'm pretty confident with a few coats this paint wont chip easily



heres my work area haha. juz for picture sake lol.



and heres the spray paint i'm using. i'm using the ace premium for the sidepanel cuz i wan a nice good coat over it. this i will spray a primer for better surface. almost everything else i'm using the TOA brand. except for plastics. we'll get to that later.



heres the plastic top ready for painting.



for plastics i'm using the krylon fusion for plastic. its very good for plastics. cuz i realize regular acrylic lacquer or aerosol paints on plastic chips off very very easily so i got this instead for a good bond. heres a link http://www.krylon.com/products/fusion_for_plastic/ i kinda forgot to take a photo of mine hehe

This post has been edited by valor89: Sep 3 2011, 06:52 AM

heres the sidepanel already went through the priming and now the surface coat. while learning spray painting a lot of ppl say that we shud sand the primer before applying the surface coat. but from experience i dun think thats really necessary unless u mess the primer coat pretty badly though. juz my 2 cents



i went through 3 coats of primer for each side and 3 coats of surface coat for each side as well

my messy wet sanding area lol



ah.... heres the steel handlebars grinded and sanded as much as i could to get the rust off (i got lazy after a while lolz) i'll be spraying multiple coats of paint to make sure it doesnt happen again. i was considering the rustoleum paint but then well, its not really worth it for something i cant see so oh well lolz.



well i sprayed and i sprayed and i sprayed sommor. inhaling all those toxic gas is gonna kill me good and young lol. continued next post

This post has been edited by valor89: Sep 3 2011, 06:09 AM

and more UPDATES!!! whee~~ i'm on fai-yar!! lolz. anyway heres for what i did on 2/9/2011

in summary what i did today was bought more paint and continued with where i left off yesterday, mostly juz spray painting whatever thats needs to be painted. okok so enuf talk and lets move on

i got my hands on a cooler master 4-in-3 device module (freaking long name ) and well, i want it in black. since they dun have it, i juz have to make it black myself kekeke

disassembled and rdy to paint



ok, so heres the deal. i've decided to paint the thermaltake jing grey plastic parts to BLACK. well, this is a do or die thing and i'm taking a huge leap of faith with my fingers crossed that it'll turn out alright

i covered the fans with pieces of a4 paper which i cut and used cellophane tape to hold everything together. lets juz hope this works



and heres my spray painting area. haha. wonder where i get so many boxes? lolz



the cm 4in3 chillin in the sun. as u can see from the cardboard i've been spamming the TOA flat black on it. i actually lost count how many coats i gave it. though i can safely presume its roughly 2 cans of spray paint lol.



cuz this part is gonna scratch againts the 5.25" bay itself and hopefully in its tight fit it'll still be scratched and black. haha.

moving on heres the fan bracket for the jing goin through an extreme makeover. for the fan mount and bracket i'm using the krylon fusion for plastic as well.





here's my sister doin a stencil of the cm storm logo for me. in exchange i buying her snowflakes
to use or not i'm not too sure yet and i'll see how it goes lolz



and here i was testing out the stencil



and lastly here's my stupid dog disturbing me lolz. say hi to max at the back in the cage is dex



This post has been edited by valor89: Sep 3 2011, 06:15 AM

come nightfall, after chilling with some friends of mine in AC and Snowflakes time to check on my sprayed stuff. so get rdy for a run through a gallery of pics

first up is the side panel. personally i'm pretty satisfied with the outcome



as u can see the surface is quite rough. i'm guessing its because of some paint which dried while airborne at the last remaining of the paint (yes i finished the can ) cuz when i run my finger its smooth but my finger will have a lil black black powder lol. i'm still leaving out to cure cuz the instruction says 5 days so lets not be hasty (dam kan chiong lolz) and once after i'll give it a thorough wipedown and we'll see how it is

front and back of the side panel





heres the top plastic parts and the plastic handle. i sprayed the plastic handle to match the texture of the other piece.



as u can see its a bit rough. same case as the side panel. so have to wait till it cures then i'll wipe it down. but to me it looks pretty nice like that. like its military hardened from extensive usage kinda feel lolz





heres the metal top which i sprayed. very very satisfied with all the metal parts which i used the TOA brand. a very good finish. the matte black is very smooth and when tap it still has that nice metal ting. haha

and heres the cm 4in3 which went through some serious amount of paint. very smooth finish and very nice matte shade. couldnt ask for a better result





heres the rusted steel handles which i saved. now it looks very nice haha. sadly cannot show off cuz its inside haha.



and last but not least, the finisher, the JING plastic brackets.
well, i would say the painting went very well and it turned out pretty good. but i'm really not feeling it la. the bright lime green for me not goin very well with the extremely dark shade the krylon gave. i think this will need more working on. but i'll let the paint cure for now while i think for a solution to satisfy my fussy-ness lolz









well, thats all for now. my next mods will be to make the psu cover and hdd cover so stay tune. and please do tell me what u think of this so far. ur inputs on this project is greatly appreciated XD

Added on September 5, 2011, 4:49 amUPDATE!!!! 3/9/2011

so now i'm getting to the cosmetics of the case. well, ever since i saw some mods with psu cover and hard disk cover i was like hm... great idea so its time to do some myself.

so i got some leftover acrylic from the side panels i ordered from niclasteoh. so time to experiment with the acrylic to see what its capable of.

so to start things off nice and easy, i wanted to see how easy it is to bend acrylic and what temperature i would require to bend it easily. guides which i checked out didnt really state what temperature to use. but come to think of it different kinds of acrylics and thickness will have different temp ranges before it losses its rigidity and becomes malleable. so i manage to get a nice easy bend with 500c using the heat gun with a distance of say 5-10cm away moving constantly side to side. and this i what i got



not too bad. so now with the bending test done, time to cut a nice long piece. first up i use the trusty dremel but err..... houston, we have a lil problem



well, it looks ok here but i didnt like the rough edges and it was not a very clean cut. which is pretty sad.

so lets upscale a bit and go nuts. good thing i bought a spare sheet in case of err... bad worksmanship on my end lol.



so i used clamps and use a piece of wood to hold it down and this will give me something to guide the dremel rotary blade to go along and hopefully get a str8 line.



well, with that much, its not really much of an improvement.



and with the day finally coming to a close, i packed up my stuff frustrated with a not very good result and vow to try again the next day (drama betul )

This post has been edited by valor89: Sep 5 2011, 04:49 AM

and the next day, UPDATE 4/9/2011

well, did i forget to mention i bought an acrylic cutter? hahaha. oops. honestly telling u i didnt really know how to use an acrylic cutting blade thats y i opt for the rotary cutter? hahaha. anyway juz to let u guys know i got my b&d drill, the dremel and most of the modding tools and powertools from reiben thumbs up bro. haha. err... i think even reiben didnt know that cuz i ask my fren to buy from him for me wakakaka.

anyway, coming back, oh and heres to start the day with



MY NEPHEW!!! so cute and chubby!!! he's getting heavier wakakaka. uhhm... comin back, i finally googled how to cut an acrylic with an acrylic cutter and heres what i got http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCeHx-vvJ7k so easy

fine, so with that knowledge in hand, (sry i got excited and forget take pictures lol) i used that newly learnt "skill" and put it to good use. and its not as easy as it looks in fact its pretty difficult to do it when u wanna cut about 40cm in length its not even funny. but i manage to do it and wallaaaa!!!!



yup, and my dad asked me to use whetstone to shave the ends to make it cleaner instead of using the dremel or sandpaper (monster hunter style *shing shing shing shing PING sheeekk* )

and moving on to the bending of the sheets. seriously bending it is like so fun and easy. and cutting it is like ARGH!!! OMGBBQFTL!!!



and on my next cutting venture i was like whoops~~ sheeeeek.... uh oh





yup, the blade slipped and cut to the side. well, i was in luck cuz my sis and cousin's wife gave me some artistic advice and came up with a brillliant idea



ta-da!!! artistic lol~ applause for the save

so moving on after much cutting and measuring and bending a lil sneek preview?



that would be my psu cover. a close up here



and my hard disk bay cover with the very artistic design



and the many spoils of the day that would make up the supporting parts to hold everything up



some parts for the cosmetics department



well, i'm feeling that much closer to this project's completion!!!!
so my next venture would be to choose a perfect match for the acrylic to hide everything. i mean, theres not much point to have a psu cover if its transparent right? lol

and whats this? a sneek peek of whats become of the jing?



please do let me know what u think and whats nice and not nice and what i can do to make this project even better. really appreciate it

nice bro. i do like ur "worksmanship"
would it be nice if u cover up all ur psu area wit acrylic? . no?
leave ur psu naked, fan facing down..
n dun foget the bling-bling effect.

thx bro. i was thinking of that option as well. maybe i'll try that and see which is nicer? haha. thx for the feedback man. really appreciate it

Damn, this work log are much good to see compare to your haf932. Good job on the paint, i love the outcome of the paint job.

haha. of coz la. my haf932 completely stock. haha. hopefully i'll finish this by this week. thx. glad u enjoyed my work

ahh it's been a week TS, no updates?

lulz... chill bro.. TS planning stuff.. =)

Oh haha. Sry la last week i was real busy so didnt had the time to cont with my work. Anyway i'll be working on today and tonight i'll update ya. Thx for following

niceee

sry for the delay guys, wanted to update but then sadly my rivet gun spoilt on monday =.= then today i went to hardwareshop buy new 1
came back also cannot work. sian. so 2moro i have to change haha. i promise i'll update 2moro or day after aites. haha. so sry

aiyakk..many day waiting u update pic

Haha sry bro. Been really busy lately. And hit a few minor problems which i trying to solve la haha. And also been planning for another rig. I'll post that as well later. So sry ya. Thx for ur support XD

UPDATE!!!! (sry so late )

finally huh. sry every1 but i've been real busy and also a bit dissatisfied with my work a bit la. well, the jing didnt really came out as what i had hoped for. and besides this project i've been working on a few mods for my com table as well as making a headset stand for my kave to sit on when i'm not using it

anyway, back to business. following up my last work i've not really progressed very far. and also there was not much to do lolz. so its assembling time. take note that this worklog covered what i've done for the past 3 weeks or so lolz. so sry for the procrastination

anyway i've started to put it all together, mainly the assembling part, so here i juz used hot glue to secure the 140mm acrylic fan grill to the top where i made the hole



and i was trying to force in the ccfl and guess what happened



yup, i didnt know the inside tube was the stiff 1 and the plastic cover tubing on the outside was the flexible 1. hahahaha. so ya i think i've to get a new one

heres where i wanted to put it haha. its quite a tight squeeze but i manage to pull 1 through haha. and i did this without the top on so the sides are more flexible



and i placed the front intake fan with the ccfl that'll replace the fan led.



i tot it'll be too bright so i bended the acrylic and used black paper to cover it so the light will not shine through. well, whats the point of putting the acrylic there if its transparent lolz



heres the top fixed down. well, i ran into a lot of problems when i was about to rivet the top. the rivet my dad had wasnt working. fine, so the next day i went to the hardware shop. bought a rivet gun err... clap brand if i remembered correctly. got a pretty good discount. came home, the rivet gun didnt work it didnt grip the rivet pin so i had to go back to the shop the next day. and i chose the stanley one instead. i ddint got it cuz it was kinda expensive but the lady boss gave me another pretty good discount so i was pleased. came back and it was working all good. lolz



and then to put the handle bars in



now to throw in all the wires i fixed back into the front panel into the hole lolz.

Added on September 22, 2011, 6:50 amhaha. thx alot!!! glad u enjoy my work

This post has been edited by valor89: Sep 22 2011, 06:50 AM

well i made another mistake here though lolz. when i was about to put in the final plastic piece back i was kinda surprised it didnt fit. and i realized i screwed in the steel handle bars in the wrong way. if u scroll back to the previous pictures u'll see it was the other way round. i unscrewed and screwed back 12 screws juz to make it right. heres the right orientation





with that finally done i was down to routing in the front panel wires. and there was a lot of them





and add in the 2nd fan for the top. yup the case is upside down lolz.



another problem snapped up, the mounting holes in the stock side panel didnt match the acrylic panel i ordered for some weird reason so i decided ah, juz hot glue it. and here goes lolz

i position it then used masking tape to hold it while i hot glued it







well a pretty messy job. but hey it hols

and the issue that delayed the whole project. i was thinking the side panel isnt suitable for the theme. and also it wasnt very original so defeats the purpose of modding. so i decided to up it and go futuristic, a bit tron-ish. so i design the side panel on a A3 graph paper. and after a few days, heres what i got



not bad i would say. lolz. so heres the plan, cannot juz cut it and put it over the top, the paint will definitely seep through. so to avoid that, i need the stencil to be sticky so it doesnt seep underneath the stencil. so i drop by lowyat and grab some laptop skin. those transparent ones.



so i juz tape the skin to the A3 graph paper and cut it. once i cut the stencil i stick it onto the sidepanel rdy for painting. sry i totally forgot to take photos lolz.

but heres kinda the end product. i was peeling half way and i was like hey, i shud be taking photos. so here goes.



and finally the end product



yesh!!! it worked lolz. and next update, the finishing touches.
stay tuned

Nice!

ITS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But need some fine tuning.. TS currently busy installing OS.. Lulz...

This is cool man. I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you are busy now since you started uni right? Semenyih?

haha. thx bro. yup i'm kinda busy. and yeah the storm was giving me lots of problem cuz i was like shoving in a lot of stuff and its a pretty small case and definitely not designed to take in so much junk. yeah i'm in nottingham in semenyih. i'm actually waiting for the last part to arrive then i will complete it and post the final outcome. haha. thx for dropping by

Looking forward to the completed build.

P.s. I just graduated

and here's the finale!!!!! finally!!!! so so so so so so so so sorry for the mass delay.

anyway this update will juz be the completed build and will juz picture galore

heres what i chuck into the storm scout and it proved to be quite a challenge cuz err.... well lets face it, its a mid tower and it doesnt really have much space for cables to go all over the place

Processor: Intel Q9650
Motherboard: EVGA nForce 790i Ultra SLI
Graphic Card: Gigabyte GTX 460 OC Windforce Edition SLI
CPU Cooler: Thermaltake Jing
Power Supply: XFX 750W Black Edition
RAM: 2 Corsair Vengeance 2x2GB 1600MHz CL9
Soundcard: Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty

heres a pic of most of the components can be seen in the following shots. enjoy







Yup the black framed jing really compliment the setup very well instead of the "i really dun like" beige





along with some angled shots
without the side panel



with the side panel



the other side panel with the back. i sprayed the IO plate black as well and it makes the finish product even nicer



a top shot

now with the bling bling ons





and now with the lights off!!!!





some angled shots







and thats about it!!! sry i took 1 month was kinda busy with uni and all. kekeke
i hope u guys enjoyed my mods and worklog. plz feel free to comment and criticize my work!!!

planning for my next mod soon so any improvements from this plz tell aites
thx all for viewing!!!!

+1 for hensem case

waaallaaaawehhhhh..so smart

Added on October 28, 2011, 2:46 pmif u not mind, where u get a rivet in side panel??

This post has been edited by macang: Oct 28 2011, 02:46 PM

haha thx topaz ur sleeves made it all happen

thx
bout the rivets for side panel i dun think u can find similar plastic rivets that comes with the case. cuz i searched everywhere for it even CM dun sell it separately. have to either u bolts and nuts but i think ugly so i use hot glue instead. cuz if suddenly the glue like peeling can juz use heat gun to melt it again so it sticks back

I envy you for this mod.btw,what fan did u use on the front? Looks super bright.

I think there's a CCFL

salute this mod...very nice... ^^

haha thx a lot. i was thinking of selling the casing u wan? haha
yup he's right. its actually a normal transparent 140mm fan with 2 CCFL at the sides

thank you very much kind sir

You did a wonderful job bro. Keep it up and continue to motivate others to mod like you.

haha thx bro will do. i'm already planning to mod my haf932 next. hopefully it'll be fine

Finally up man! Awesome. Its so bright!!

Back to fyp now eh? LOL

finally its alive ..cool mod..good job

wow, pure awesome !!

wow..nice bro..

hahaha. thx man. yup it took a while. its not really bright la.
yup... back to fyp
