Hi guys..it has been nearly 2 weeks since last update..the PC is up and running perfectly..but as I mention previously something still missing and the fan start to collecting dust..

Yeah..the fan cover is still not yet installed..So I have order 2 x 500mm x 500mm 3mm thickness black transparent acrylic from shepard..I think it will be arriving this evening..

The photo he sent me yesterday..



Even though I order only 2 pcs but it is more than enough for the fan cover..the rest will be use as replacement for the side panel

Stay tuned..

Hi..as what I mentioned in earlier post..the acrylic sheet do arrived yesterday..only then I realized that actually I order for 3pcs of the acrylic sheet..hahaha such a short term memory symptom..



Dust all over top panel..need to be clean up before installing the fan cover..



So I start to trace the template for the top fan using a 140mm fan as a guide..



I try to cut the acrylic using this..but then.......



..I accidentally snap the acrylic in to pieces..





After I peel off the protective cover of the acrylic, I notice that the color is little bit darker and towards purple..but it still transparent black..I hope it will match the front panel cover..



Lesson learned..I will never use that acrylic cutter anymore and will use the jigsaw for the cutting

Hopefully, this evening I'll mange to cut the fan cover for both front and top of the casing..stay tuned..

Hi..yesterday I cut the fan cover for front n top panel..this time using jigsaw..haha measurement 150mm x 300mm with 6 holes each pieces..



I don't what it is called..but I bought it at the electrical shop..this will be the standoff between the fan cover and the panel..will be cut into half..



Not equally same height..huh..might need some filing..hmmm maybe will paint it flat black later on..it is made of copper with chrome coating..



Here is the almost complete part..I'm using the 6 x 35mm of M4 screws..hopefully it will be able to penetrate through the 10mm thickness front panel..



Buy here come the challenging part..huuuuhh how am I going to drill with all the coolant and loop still intact.. hahaha Challenge of Reverse Engineering..hahaha

Stay tuned..

Thanks bro..for now I don't have any plan to use filters for the fans..but it is a good idea anyway..maybe I'll install it later..

Hello guys..

Just little update on the fan cover..I already place the masking tape and holes marking onto the top fan panel.. see the red square box..hehe lazy workpiece..



Plus need to place something to act as the debris cover from the drill operation..I have to dismantle the LED strip under the top panel before I start drilling..



Anyway the top panel fan cover went well..all the standoffs fit the holes nicely..



Then finish with the front panel also..huhh quite a relief its all went very well..



Previously I decide to paint the standoff with flat black paint..but I this it still nice to have it in silver..haha

This is what its look like once the acrylic cover is removed..



Hmmm with the background of sunset at Kota Kinabalu Naval Base..



I have plan to engrave the Asus ROG logo maybe at front or top fan cover plus both side of the side panel..so stay tune guys...
