Ok there will be two updates today.
Currently, as I'm typing, is 8:23 am.
There will be an update on the afternoon.

Ok let's start by first, I got my taste of acrylic.
I tried cutting it with dremel. Let's just say, it's so ugly.
And the side which is less jaggered is by using an acrylic blade by cutting and then snapping it.
And I accidentally scratch the inner acrylic.
This is just a test, this is not the final product.




Gunnar optics but returned it since it doesn't fit me for the lawls.
And it was suppose to be my safety glasses.
Oh well...




And I start cutting the side panel.
It was difficult and it required alot of cooling of the dremel.
All of it is done by dremel.
Here's the process

And then I cut an acrylic that is larger than the cut.
I didn't make it a nice cut because you will not see it (the edges).



And then god of tapes will appear for the first time in this build.



And I forgotten that I put the u-channel. It's very difficult than it looks and it requires practise.
Here's my attempt.

So I have nothing better to do.
I used the scotchbrite pad to sand motherboard and the 'bottom part'.
It looks beautiful, it's looks more of a greyish than a black now.
A more gunmental look.




And overall shot and the sides that I also sand.
Details man, detail.




And lastly my last pictures till next time.
Next would be hopefully the sleeved cables and then watercooling parts.
I cut out clear acrylics and then sand it to give a frosted look.
I'm satisfied with the result though one side has a small scratch.
It won't be able to be seen after it's all hooked up.

Well this might be the saddest update.
Sadly, this update won't have any picture.

Because I want to reflect on myself and maybe share a story.

Well I'm 16. A young boy that has many potential.
I was born into a average to rich family rznge.
I have a very aggressive father and a very loving father.
I love computer, I loved it since I touched it.
I've been using it since I was 4.
Got internet when I was 8.

I started building computer when I was 14.
Though I enjoy it, my father disliked it.
He doesn't believe that computer will help in any way.

Well as of writing this 12:45, 12 April 2013.
Last Night, when I was installing my acrylic window on my computer.
My father walked in with a bad mood.
The thing is that he doesn't scold his employees but family members (close members like sons and my mother)
Though he is aggressive, he sort of have this mood swing where he will be loving when he isn't scolding us.

Back to last night, he said to turn off the computer (he doesn't know a single thing about my computer).
Everything he learnt about computer was taught by me.
He started to scold me to stop being in my room (I have nowhere else to rest).
He takes my weight to use an excuse of why you need to go out the house to 'explore'.

I didn't want to. I want peace and that is what I can't achieve because he keeps barging into my space.
This past months, I grew to not eat my dinner because I have to follow him to have dinner, so I just stayed at home.

So he said, that night, that computers are ruining your life.
He said that computer won't help you anywhere in life.
It's ruining your exam results and blame it on my failed IGCSE results.
He uses this threat that if I'm not happy with his decisions, that I can always leave his house.
I was tempted to do it but I'm worried of my mother, so I don't.

I already planned what I wish to do. Something related to computers because I enjoy it.
You remember what those inspiring speech says, follow your dream?
Yea, that's what I want to do.

No this is not for people to feel pity for me but I just want to reflect on myself.
Because I don't do that often. Currently, I'm doing my IB diploma and no one have faith in me to pass. Not my father, not my aunt. I think only my mom.


So the big question is, what does it relate to this build?
Well, because I'm doing something relating to a computer (computer case).
I have to hold this project because of course he doesn't allow me to touch a computer and since all my computer is in my room and my tools are in the room too. Anyway, I hope you guys the best because I'm not at my best mood. What I can do now is to update the remaining the pictures that I already got in my image library and after that, we'll see the outcome.

Here's a quick update after that drama.
A small update.
Massive thanks to niclasteoh for this engravement.
Because I'm grateful for the seller of my watercooling and computer parts. I would like to show my gratitude to them.
Thanks to A.P.E.S, especially Gori, who has been every step in my project.
So, I asked niclasteoh for an engravement of A.P.E.S logo.
Not to advertise, but if you guys have the time, have a quick look at http://www.apes.my for product reviews.

Well after a break, I have.
I'm gonna present some of my watercooling parts that I receive.
The swiftech mcres, bigger than I thought.
Turns out not that small.
Did some modification to it.
Spot the difference.






Also I have a swiftech radiator at the back, still debating whether to remove the fan



Messy Cable Management



Monsoon Fittings



And my final placement for the reservoir.
Looks good in my opinion.




Turns out the waterblock has a link already inside so I bought an extra for no reason.




And finally the final product of the front.
Removed the honeycomb.
I hate giant honeycomb pattern but don't mind mesh patterns of honeycomb.
