i used 3mm acrylic!!

ianho, i'm thinking to buy jigsaw like yours. Isn't good for cutting tophole and side panel?

It's all about the user's hands man. Like the saying goes "Dont blame the song, blame the singer".

my cuts r all done with rm50 Agoniama jigsaw but nice n steady oso wat. But I'm gonna upgrade to a B&D jigsaw with adjustable speed soonz so I can cut easier without having to on off on off to adjust blade speed. Go ahead n buy the jigsaw. It's OK 1. Cuts just as well only more difficult for the user to control speed.

hehehe Pssst... I heard a couple of american troopers nearby cos they think they still in WW2 lolx.

Updatessssssss. Sry for such a long delay. Been really, really busy. Anyway, here goes.


After cutting everything n drilling the screw holes for the fan. Time to dremel the acrylic edges.




This is how the corner looks like b4 dremeling work.






This is the corner after dremeling.






Test fitting the fan to make sure the screw holes line up with the fan. Perfect. No need to file the holes. Luckily, if not hafta do more work n do sumore filing.





Test fitting the acrylic on the back of the window to make sure it fits perfectly. This is without the double sided tape.

OK, now that I'm sure everything fits nicely, time to peel of the brown paper so I can glue the acrylic to the panel.





Done. Acrylic is glued to the panel. That's it for the window. All done. Now just hafta peel off the brown paper from the back n install the fan. Here's the window all done n ready.

woots woots... beatiful job dude. work of a pro.

hmmm juz wondering if u got so many coms casings for u to mod. i mean this is ur third this month rite? i cant imagine all the 3 mods on the same com...

nice update...but after waiting for so long was expecting more update..
i cant wait....

ianho, did u change the blade that come with the jigsaw to the better ones?

thinking off to buy a cheap jigsaw, but not sure about the blades....

Well, Ch3@psk8 n HL2 r my cases. Rising Sun belongs to Mr James Bond. Aiyoooooooo, I so susah payah write all the nice long story worklog for u all, but never read ar? All c pix oni?




Coming my friend, coming. No time to write loooong story lar.




Ya of course. If u use cheap blades the cuts r gonna look like a mad dog chewed on the panels. I use B&D n Bosch blades. I also throw away the blade after using it on 3 panels. More than that n it gets chewed up again.

Bro , mind to PM me where u got that work bench of yours? and wads the price like? looks like something i need badly.

U can buy that workbench from me. rm1000.
U can get it from Jaya Shopping complex.

Updatesssssssssssss.

Finally gonna get back to the Rising Sun. The interesting bit about the worklog. Hehehe. Unfortunately I only got 1 pic of the actual cutting of the sun.

Coz dremeling work involves a whole lotta aluminum oxide dust from the cutting discs n also the iron dust from the metal panel. It's a very, very smelly, dusty, messy n sticky job. Dremeling metal cuts is the worst thing about case mods. If u cut alu panels will b worse coz the alu dust is even worse. It's smelly too.

Then u oso get really sticky, sweaty n smelly coz u hafta wear the gas mask to stop from inhaling all that harmful dust. There's also the mandatory goggles for eye safety. So in the current HOT weather, it's not funny having to breathe tru the gas mask n also wearing the goggles which gets all steamed up. I've modified the goggles to allow more ventilation but still gets real steamy under the mask n goggles.

Coz of all the dust n stuff, I forgot to take more pics of the cutting process. Sry guys. My whole body was covered in that horrible dust. So I din wanna spoil my camera by holding it with my dusty hands. I managed to get this 1 pic coz I was taking a coffee break then.







Well, here's the Rising Sun after I finished cutting n filing. Phew! That was a whole lotta hard work. Lotsa satisfaction though. Feels so good looking at it coz it used to b a plain old panel. It's now a fully personalised panel.






This is a pic of the Rising Sun with the acrylic thats gonna be stuck behind it. Sry I was in such a big rush I even forgot to take pics of mounting the acrylic to the Rising Sun.






Here's a pic of the window n Rising Sun waiting for final details like fan, acrylic install n all.

Ladieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssss & gentlemen......................

May I present the final product. Project Rising Sun is now complete.

Pic of the humongous window.






Frontal view.






Side view.




Hope u guys enjoyed the worklog. Installing a water cooling system in it. So let's wait n c how it all looks like when it's done.
