Im gonna bring in PVC for my next mod... my fren seludup from his company lol... if he can get it in time i'll use it for this project... damn expensive... 2ft by 3ft costs RM700.00

PVC really that expensive meh.....

yep... its tinted one.. they use it to pao radiators cos the thing can stand very high heat, easy to cut and less fragile compared to acrylic

delayed... fren kena chicken pox so no acrylic n chloroform now nabeh...

Some minor updates.

1. Got the front panel cut by DY (the place I get all my acrylic).. quite a bad job to me cos that new staff looks like he's in a hurry to kahwin 4 instead of working.. but its a "fck it" issue for me... Hey, its free after all and I know very well Im good at hiding flaws...



2. Some stuff I got from Ace Hardware. The last rotary tool (B&D RTX = RM280) was bought by the customer who entered the shop like 5 SECONDS EARLIER than me... damn... So I end up buying this crappy drill since I wont be using it much





3. Cut another 2ft x 3ft acrylic (2.5mm) for the side panels.



4. Sleeved the PSU as said b4 CNY. But ran out of heatshrink. Just ordered some UV reactive ones from Vamp cause the black 10mm i bought from hardware shop looks like crap.



Tas all for now, i think the case will be assembled by next Tuesday after I'm done with the back panel and the second layer of the front panel (drive stealthing purpose). Still waiting for my friend to reply my SMS cause I need my 2-by-3 5mm acrylic, mesh, and chloroform very urgently now cause my timetable is freakin packed.

Edit: FCUKED UP... my fren go back again coming back only on Sunday. Still got chicken pox which means I dowan to go anywhere near him as I havent got mine and now crucial moment for my final year project I dont wanna get my body fcked up. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

^ brother... long time no see d... see how if free this sunday find u yum cha... what 4 L shape holder u mean?

Some little update. Was about to spray the graphics on the second inner panel before the sky go kaboom kaboom like the previous 2 days so have to hold until tmr (today) morning baru spray. Cut out the design on vinyl sticker.



The design. One of my tattoo collection that I like. Gonna make it black and white with some part transparent. Went to DY and got 1ft x 4ft black sticker since its just cut-spray-throw for me. The lady boss wanna charge RM3 per sq ft. Was actually gonna be RM12, I have no small change so I give the kid 52 and he went:

Kid: Koo jeh, RM12 he 'throw' me one RM52 so i collect RM2 can ar.
Lady boss: RM2 ar... can lar...

Save 10 bucks lol

I noticed something wrong with the cap of my spray paint this morning so went and check n noticed I bought 'mechanical grey' and 'misty blue' instead of black and white. So i took a piece of unused acry and spray it on to test the drying time and reflectiveness of the paint.





And after I finished it started to rain

Just woke up and got the piece from outside to see the reflectiveness. The white part does nothing. But the black part is reflective.



Fd up camera. Will start spray painting the panel later this morning. Its saturday, time for a lot of cuttings

Follow up on spray painting. Actually was spraying on a larger panel, but then makes no sense why the panel larger than mobo tray so I chuck the first work (since its totally fd up & smeared anyway). Went for a second piece. I lay the sticker on it, and cut directly on top of the acrylic. This time I sprayed white first then the gray



Then comes the mechanical gray.. turns out quite black n reflective.



I found out stickers do a bad thing to acrylic under the sun. When you rip them off they tend to leave the sticky part behind. So Mr. Thinner and Mr. Cotton Buds are going to help me clean up. Eventually I accidentally smeared some white part and the grey spray ended up not sharp at all Here's after the thinner work (stung my eyes rather badly for 45 minutes) and some relining with black marker.





A close up look



** cleaned the front part with thinner so blurish with stains. Wash it later to remove the smears.

Im very unsatisfied with the work, but will have to make do with it cos running out of time. From the pix you cant see much details, but if you look closely some parts are scratched and some parts are a little smeared. Sigh. But at least I did something for today (9am-12pm first panel then threw it away, 1pm to 4pm second panel and then it rained heavily so I slept lol) very very unhappy right now

Edit: fk.. my drill bit broke...

hmmm.. how do you use chloroform? i got mine ady but the thing like go dry very fast and not really sticky... *scratch head* any idea?

U take the bottle, unscrew the cap, sniff it.

Seriously now, it's actually like water. It's not sticky coz it's not like glue. U hafta sapu the thing onto the acryl n quickly join the 2 surfaces together.

Forgot to add, the 2 surfaces must b absolutely flat for it to bond. So make sure u file them nice n flat.
