Dude, only ppl who duno wht else 2 do 'll simply drill & later end of w/ cacat piece of work. It's better 2 spend a bit more time planning carefully. There's no need 2 waste acrylic

is there other thing to replace rivets?

agree. Have to plan very carefully before begin modification. Else, surely regret if the outcome is a failure.

But i do agree practices is the key of perfection.

Da issue is mostly ppl dont wanna practise but xpect magic the vry 1st / 2nd attempt. I myself took years 2 b wht I'm now.

Dont worry evry1, u'll nvr regret it. Dont b too stingy; be it $$ / time in these kind of hobbies

will there be any PC modding competiton?If got , what will be the prizes?Very curious about it

I need a way to mod my casing to ground it... cuz it's literally shocking... as in electrical shock...

thats a problem with ur powerpoint la bro....not ur case...

are u using an extension cable??? if yes, change it to a better/newer one. if plug in direct to the wall...then ur gonna have to try another wall plug.

one more thing..make sure ur cable to the PSU has 3 pins on the plug head. last time i use got 2-pin oso kena same effect as urs

Yup, its most likely your power cable and/or any any extension cord you're using. Because the case its already supposed to be grounded though the power supply (the ground cable in the 3-pin connector is mounted to the PSU case, which is touching the main casing).

But if all else fails, just attach a wire to any exposed point on your casing and shove the other end into the ground hole of the 3 pin wall socket..

last time my comp was lik dat oso... thought it's extension prob, so change a new set, but stil hving the same prob... so in the end i juz plug the psu's cord straight to the powerpoint on wall... everything settle nw...

i did try direct to wall plug... still same... and i not using extension... juz an AVR... it's confirmed it's the powerpoint... but wat i want to know is if there's an alternative way to ground my case... so tat it won shock me...

just wrap ur whole RIG using a layer of cloth will do
Dun need to get frustrated over it
Or mayb u didnt get ur TNB's bill paid
So they put a high voltage to ur house
Espcially to ur computer
Talking crapz....
Anyway I m also facing the same problem
Mayb I m facing compz everyday
It happens same to my workmate
When we touched each other, there is electrical shock
Even touching computerz....damm pain
Once kena lagi funny, I was installing the driver for laptop
When i m away, n back I touched the mousepad I was electric shocked by the laptop
Sounds ridiculous, but It was really happening to me

can just do like what lohwenli said above.....


thats called static electricity dude....

totally different than this....this is current leakage.

either u buy wire attached it to ur casing and on the other end plugged it or wateve u to the EARTH at ur extention..

my pc also like that n nothing can be done coz the whole wiring in my house faced the same prob (main swtich prob, earth connector from main switch to ground of my house broken after renovation)... so my solution is, screw some cables to my back side of case, then plaster it to my floor (gap between tiles)... not all gone, but the shock can be say 50% less than b4...

Mean your powerpoint got problem, get and electrician to fix it, not computecian..

wow... my 3 pins from the PSU already connected to wall 3 pin which is practically supposed to be grounded... but it's not so the powerpoint is at fault... how does grounding work anyway... can't i ground it wif alternative method...? like using "klip buaya" and connect to other things like rubber or something... i tried to clip it to my razer mantis mouse pad... doesn't work...

i plug my cable from psu to stabilizer and stabilizer plug to the wall socket.. i think stabilizer also helps alot gua..

Hi there,
Can i add some nice colour LED in my computer casing??? To make it nicer....can anyone teach me how to make it.....

Thanks Alot

u can try refer to others worklog or mayb from allngap since he's such good led part..same goes to bombman
