you can get it from advertising shops

it will be really nice if there were no screws.
the screws are giving it the masculine looks

thanks bro

havent planned that far yet......but i'm planning to make another casing for myself

have passion in what u like, that's the most important thing in life!!!

dont want ler

will update the pics soon

this is the back of the casing, with the 2x USB slots on the left side of the casing,
the 4 screws are for the PSU PCB mounts screws.





another rear shot, used 80-92mm converter, 80mm NMB low speed fan as exhaust.






we went to the lifestyle shop and found something nice to cover those rounded allan key screw heads, it's love shape with double sided tape behind.
so she did this mod herself





this shot is taken from the top.
the 4x screws are used to hold the bracket for the CDROM and the HDD......
as i said earlier, due to the weight and the pressure from the screws, the acrylic had a small crack and i had to use this way to cover the damage.
thus i stick on layer on the casing, and then used another layer to cover the pics.....

the corner with the LED and 2x switches is actually the HDD activity light, ON/OFF switch and RESET





this shot is taken from the right of the casing with flash......




this shot is taken from the right of the casing without flash......





basically, this is how it looks like after some " modding " done by my gf......kinda pimpin' now






as u can see the dual 60mm fan setup with LEDs in it and the CDROM bay which i stealthed it with a white acrylic faceplate

this is the pic for the switch on the top right hand corner of the casing which i used to cover another defect as well.



the DVDROM ejected....




this is the extended part of the DVDROM bracket that i've done so that it can shut nicely




shots from the right side of the casing







perspective shots


comments are welcomed
glad i've finally finished everything

this is Taj Low Budget........i intended to put one only.
but couldnt find high quality pics

he would rather make a " love " machine for a male

thanks bro.....

love me more ??? i spent so much time on modding than her

board of cencorship in action

what is so great ?? it's just a design, not like it's design is being purchased by IMAC or something......

anyway, i'd wish there's a modding competition where i can beat those " chauvinist-like " casings

i will change my tag into this one :

[ Modding with Passion(tm) ]


it's clear acrylic + paint = white acrylic.
there are those clear acrylic for signboards, but you'll need the clear and crystal clear layer on the white layer in order to get the nice finishing

crap....i dint have the chance to snapshot the interior....

basically the dual 60mm fan is just beside the heatsink.......
u can hear the CPU fan spinning from the side also.....

the whole cooling management is good except the HDD area only, where it's sandwich between the DVDROM and the top panel......
but it should be fine coz the i could feel hot air coming out from the rear 80mm fan


the noise level is really really low, as i can only hear noise from the air cond and some minor HDD noise only......

FYI : my mum doesnt know how to use PC ler..........

maybe i should tap into the ladies market......


pink ???? well, cant find the right colour actually.........white is like pure and clean.....
i seriously dint look into compartments for here jewelery because i seriously dont know how a female's brain functions

erm, put secret things inside for *emergency use kar


the fan is a pretty stable fan, anyway, i've used stickers to cover the inner acrylic, perhaps it's acting like a dampener ???

well, just the CPU fan is a bit annoying at the moment......the 60mm fan is thermal controlled, but never runs more than the minimum coz the air temperature will never reach that kind of temperature.

actually, the casing is damn light, but with all the stuff inside it isnt.....
it's kinda annoying when the DVDROM starts running as the vibration is not-so-quiet at all....


you've got dog phobia is it ??

erm, more = better ?????

allergic to dogs is it

erm, the whole thing is around the size of a standard microwave

i dint really calculate bro, actually tooling cost and experience has got more value than all the material cost

thanks bro....actually it looks more towards microwave

stay cool, the most important thing is the end result.....no point rushing and then not getting the results that you wanted right ??

you can get acrylic from advertisement shops......

you can find normal screws from hardware shops, but not these types.....these are high grade screws.

as for the sticking thing, there are a lot of alternatives, cheapest would be chlorofoam i guess

erm.....why not

just press the switch below the red LED beside the DVDROM

erm....i also dont know how to quote you the price bro.....it's better for you to invest in a HTPC coz this is not that universal design yet

thanks

are u a gal ?? just wondering


apa khabar, long time no see you


i said it de, experience costs more that the material cost....if you dont have the experince, chances are you'll screw up a lot more than you can imagine

around RM 100+ i think....
i've mentioned it somewhere before, i suppose you are lazy to read everything rite ?

i would be real happy if some company actually copied my design.....
copyrights ?? dont make me laugh

thanks bro....

the hardest part is the planning.......the rest are just the matter of time

you want them ?
i still got a lot to spare
