Updates...

Since i have completed the painting of my case...i decide to mount my pc into the painted case.

Below is the pc which will be running wif the celeron proc..its a cheap gigabyte rz series mobo.

Since i hasn't got my hands on any heatshrink sleeves...i have to do the cable management wif some cable ties.

This is how the top deck is gonna look alike..i dislike the old mounting position of the psu since it will obstruct most of my components rendering my uv mod useless.
user posted image

In an attemp to match colour of the whole case...i painted the diskette drive's front black.
user posted image

This is my current P4 rig...the reason mounting it in is to provide a my pc wif grounding.

I hope my CM rounded ides will arrive via poslaju tomolo.

Note:The steel rack in the pic hasn't being fixed...although i made the fix..i dun have time to upload it.

looks like i have to wait till the warranty period is over... luckily only 3 months...ha.. yeah, this err, can i remove everything in the PSU to spray it? like removing the fans, switch and all??
*
Standard psu has oni 4 screws holding the PCB down...those high end type i dunno la...fans oso got 4 screws....if u have a soldering iron then u can remove the power lines and the whole unit is off the case.

Wat i did to mine was..jus cover the cable and spray...its a cheapo anyway...some paint did enter the psu but nvr screw it.

I think its a heatshrink...its a something like a flattened black rubber tube.
Erm how a sleeve like? those like a net?

A lot of shops in jln pasar got sell heatshrinks...i bought mine from the furthest shop from lrt. they also have other colours as well...blue,red(if not mistaken) and black.

FDD front spray painting...

Tape it wif masking tape to make a cleaner paint and cover up the holes jus in case the paint might be conductive.
user posted image

The finished paint job...2 layers black and 1 thick layer of lacquer to protect the paint from being damaged from usage.

PSU spray painting...

Like the FDD..i taped the plug sockets to maintain its efficiency from the paint getting into the sockets.
user posted image

Taped the label so tht i still have info bout my psu jus in case i wan to refer to it in the future.
