Front Bezel. Took out the old arcylic n redo a new one. Change the Power LED to blue color. Polished the front plastic frame to mirror shine.

Nice arr the blue effect
somemore the second bay i mount the UV CCFL controller into it.



Slap a arcylic on the bottom to have a shining effect n hide the cables below.
Also install a uv CCFL at the bottom.


Modded the PSU with a window, redo the wiring to have a modular effect n install 2 blue LED inside. But 1 of the LED is dim, going to change it. Also painted the PSU black.
As you can see one of the connectors is opened.




Install the UV CCFL in the casing.
I have also cut 2 pcs of angle aluminium to run my wires along it.
All wires r also extended to reach the neccessary places.

Extended the GC power cables.(Haven't sleeved the section to the floppy. Shorting problem with the floppy drive)

A close up.

I also used a rotary tool.

What internal n external do you mean??

The connectors i think easy to find lar. I bought it at a electronics components shop. I took a sample to them n they somemore ask me wan 2,3 or 4 pins. I bought 4 pins one. It's also quite cheap, i think it was RM5 for a pair (male n female).

Thanks

I don't know the name of the connector. I think its call a power connector. U can find the name in RSmalaysia.

I will take the internal shot's of the PSU this Weekend cause changing the dead LED inside the PSU.

Thanks

The screws r cap screws (hex screws). I bought it from hardware shop. I went to those bigger ones cause those smaller ones doesn't carry any.

I was finding for chrome one, but cannot get. Seems that it must be custom chrome.

No it's dual channel. This board the ram is put side by side for dual channel.

Nothing really to add. Normally i do most of the work during weekends.

Some updates.


With the UV light on

Its for screwing on the Front panel. Initially looking for chrome, but cannot find.

No more liao, now blaaaaaaaaaack

Thats the XT

PSU didn't have time to do. Real sorry man, but i'm going to open it. Really busy last weekend. Will try to mod it this week.

I won't FFK one. Just need some time.

I'm ordering New UV CCFL already. Waiting for it to arrive. Then only relocate it.

Thanks for everyone's comment.

I agree that it is quite dark, cause the light already very dimm. Already bought new one, waiting for it to arrive. Will post it when completed. Thanks all.
