Top panel spraying. Again, my "genius" hands screwed up another panel

See from far, you'll be happy with the color and reflectiveness... if you stick your nose 3 inches away from the panel you can see there's tonnes of problems with the spraying especially the white layer

Sanded the white specks, and sprayed a god-knows-how-thick layer of paint at one shot... desperately pissed.


** those white streaks are not paint but water, effect from the cam's flash

Lookie my sexy waist lol If i'm a girl...

HEY!!! i almost used that image for my UV mod... wahahhahahaha

good taste dude!

thanks man... good taste but bad handwork... ... very unhappy with these 2 days' mod cos of the spraying's result.. anyways FYI all panels are cut but their sides are not polished yet (tonight), gonna send my rom holders to DY Signcraft for 2mm hole drilling, back panel for I/O - PCI slot - PSU cuttings, and the second layer of front panel for cuttings of rom windows (stealthing). If everything goes smoothly n the chloroforming dont screw up should finish by tuesday. Hope all goes well cos very disappointed now.

that design is really nice.....do u have the original copy ?

blardy hell, i only got 6 in 1 packs and it's 5months pregnant in there

that is the case got water on top????? nice waist line btw??
y no clean the water only take the pics???

whats that white spot izzit white paint or ....

sorry for late reply... my modem got struck by lightning 3 days ago and my LAN port burned... so waiting for tmr or saturday to get my processor and set up my new rig then can come online... now in INTI's lab... the white spot is water, caused by the cam's flash tas why looks white... later around 2-3pm gonna go get my panels from DY Signcraft and start assembling tonight.. hopefully tmr can post some pix and by Saturday whole thing can get done... here are some stuffs i did for the past 3 days

1. cut out ROM support base (14.6cm x 5cm)
2. sanding and polishing sides of all the panels that are still with me
3. "siliconed" mobo holder screws to the mobo tray
4. polishing the PSU cover (the black one in the first page)
5. taped the PSU cables that don have heatshrinks with wiring tape
6. cutting out mesh (the one they use to 'tapis' sand)

Gonna re-spray the vector panel, mesh, and 2nd layer of front panel later.. maybe need some cut-offs for the first front panel as it seems longer. Hopefully tonight can start assembling.

Just got my panels back from DY Signcraft... took 2 days as yesterday they were rushing for Carrefour's lucky draw boxes... very very very well cut for the 2nd layer of front panel ... stupid INTI lab doesnt let me access the digicam connection (INTI punya technology all practice dictatorship one)... hope can get to my friend's place tonite and post the pix... DY charge me RM20 only for the cutting job, comparing to the shop behind them which was gonna charge RM5 FOR EVERY HOLE!!!! Cutthroat shop...

- Drill eight 6mm holes into my 20mm thick acrylic
- Cut 5 ROM windows and 2 vent windows
- Two 120mm fanhole
- Around fifteen 3mm screw holes

The lady boss was in a good mood when she saw I have that 20mm piece. Taught me how to buff the sides with steel pan instead of sandpapering which she said is very wrong and even offered to use flames to buff them up for me next time i send my acrylic over

Then taught me how to properly use chloroform. Gonna get back there in another 2 days to get the back panel cut. Hopefully can get the new rig up and running in 2 days' time. Now gotta go back for the spray painting (a new vector panel) and glue up all the panels. Wish me luck, gonna need it since been very suey this week (lightning strike, saw ppl banged down by car etc etc).

yeehaaa back online... too bad while bringing the case to my friend's shop to get the processor placed in the top panel cracked... have to reglue everything but im thinking of redoing it all... post pix tonite... now wanna have fun wit my "open air" AMD 64

cant wait soo long edi

All the panels shud use L brackets to screw together mar. U glue all together next time cannot open d.

tas what i was thinking last nite lol... later i post pix... wanna rip everything off and re-build after end of this month... longest delay in case mod section lol

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........... any idea where to find ABIT KN8-Ultra's USB port driver???? The CD only comes with instruction on how to install the driver and say must use SP1... but Im using SP2... no USB port cant connect my cam aihhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Pix pix pix pix pix... the case is actually finished, but the top panel cracked and now the whole thing not stable so im not using it. After handing up my final project and the presentation then start ripping it off for a remake.

One last view




..... and then the god damn thing CRACKED when i was taking it to Subang Parade's Digital One (my friend's shop there) to get the processor installed.....

So this is where my new rig is staying now until i fix UV-CMA64


No cooling fan? I got bigger than urs LOL


So this project is a failure.... guess need to take a closer look at the market's acrylic casing... baaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... but my rig's CPU's running at 32 celcius and NB at 35 celcius max during subang's afternoon torturous weather

your arcylic casing is nice ,guess u bettter redo abit make it strong rather keeping:p

ah sucks. use thicker acrylic maybe? i see you;ve sleeved your PSU

damn dude.... it looked real good... guess ur gonna have to use thicker acrylic for it....

and i think u should change the rear exhaust from 8cm to 12cm.... helps with the airflow and noise.

dude may i noe what was the thickness of ur acrylic? seems VERY think to me...
wonder how it cracked man

5mm... actually the "crack" doesnt mean retak or what... the gluing cracked adn the top panel gave way cos I havent glue the cubes to support them... besides a lot of measurement are very wrong... i've reserved a casing *YUCKS* from my fren to hold my rig temporarily until i'm free to fix the whole UV-CMA64...
