Here's a new worklog for an old horse. This is to show u guys with old rigs that u can enjoy a blinged up rig too. This is a very basic Athlon XP2000+, GF4MX, 1 ROM, 1 HDD rig n I'm gonna bling it up! Gonna put a window on the side panel, lotsa fans, fancy grill, CCFL plus Stealth Wire Management.

Here's sum pix of it b4 I start working on it.


Overall pic of the rig.







View of the side panel with the vents n fanhole.








Very messy internals.







No rear exhaust fans.








No front intake fan either.

Here's the plan for it.

1. Rear exhaust fan. UV Green fan.

2. Side panel will be cut around the vents. The round vent thingy will b maintained in the middle. Blue LED intake fan in the middle of the window.

3. Cut a 120mm fanhole at the front for air intake. Blue LED 120mm fan.

4. Install Green CCFLs.

5. Stealth Wiring for another wireless rig look.



Will update as I go along.

Eh don't la start a little and then make us all so interested. Now I have to start checking this topic everyday to see the outcome!

Taiko Ianho, another mod, faster bro, dun get me excited, later cannot study, this is gonna be a good mod as I can see it coming

a simple question, why UV green fan for the exhaust since you are going to use green CCFL

this casing have the same internal design as my casing. i'm going to see how you're going to cut up some space for the front 120mm fan. been thinking to do the same for my casing but dont have a good idea how to do it.

Hehehe. U will c y soonz. The fan is gonna glow even with the CCFL turned off. It's gonna b a dual lighting system where the CCFL can b turned off yet the internals will b lit. Of course not as bright as with the CCFLs on though.

the casing looks exactly like my cousin 1

lolz simple casing great project

any updates?

Nice Another Case Mod

umm... must watch this thread...if ianho do..sure nice nice one... subcribed....

i think we better change the topic to "Pimp My CPU : Green, Bling it On" huhuhuhuhu.....

as usual, park my nick here for easy reference

keep up the good work inaho

Sry no updates whole day. Kena food poisoning last night. Spent today recuperating. Managed to get sum work done though. Will post the updates a bit later.

@ianho
Get well soon bro, all the best in your modding.

heh.dis gonna b good.update pls!
wanna transform my old rig oso

OK. Updates! Didn't do much today. Still feeling really bad from the food poisoning. I was getting restless after sleeping the whole day though, so I got my butt off the bed. Felt that I was capable of doing sum minor work like rough cuts n sum cleaning up work. So here we go to the updates. Pardon my lack of story telling skills 2day, still a bit mabuk from being sick all day.


Here's the stuff I bought for the rig.










Now it's time for sum masking up n measuring.









Time to cut. Phew, this is gonna b really tough. That circle in the middle is gonna b a tough nut to get right.
That circle vent in the middle isn't even centred! The factory stamping machine wasn't calibrated correctly I guess. So It's gonna be really difficult to get right coz it isn't centred in the 1st place. So I'll hafta do my best to make it look as centred as possible after cutting.









Done! Rough cut is complete. Now it's down to the detailed work to get it really nice n round. That'll be done 2moro.








Sumore cutting on the chassis itself. Hollowed out the rear fan grill for maximum airflow efficiency on the exhaust fan. Still needs detailed work. All I had time to do 2day was rough cuts. The 1st thing to do 2moro is the front intake hole, then it's down to the detailing work to make everything perfect.
