Added wheels to the dissembled casing

Made a 80mm blowhole in front of the casing for better airflow instead of covered up panel. Had to cut of the switches of the original casing and will customize sum later.

Sorry about the jagged edges will sand later on...

Bought acrylic and black spray paint also.

Did a blowhole the lazy way. Will sand it down too later on. Malu bcoz dun have rotary tool yet and lazy to open up jigsaw.
After drilling


Cut up the metal piece


As u all can see i accidently cut xtra screw holes. Filling it up later with epoxy.

Some pics wif the tools i work wif. Planning to put the CM musketeer i got from PC fair in too!!

Got some handles from Ikea too. Beautiful....



Had to get shorter screws as the ones that came together were very very long

Cut a side panel too. Abit shaky la my hand while cutting

Did another mod. Because of the front blowhole, i decided to reposition the switches. So i made my own switches and put it on a floppy bay.







Found the switches from my old speaker and one from the casing itself. Then there's the power LED on it also. The HDD LED will be at it's own place because i did not cut it.

Paint work done. Panels after painting


Mirror finish!

The rear of the casing after being painted


The custom switches panel


The front panel


The full computer

Will be adding hardware later on probably after SPM

walau, really ghetto mod. But I like the idea of putting the button on an otherwise useless floppy drive bay. It will be nice if you put in some finishing touches.

Oh, and I hope the 'black metal' wordings on the bezels are just temporary...

Yeah the bezels will be replaced with transparent acrylic later on

sweet.... BLACK METAL !! ehh...

ehehe.....

Nice Mod there, the power on off swith u used were taken from the front panel or a new one ?
