fluoro stickers can get em at stionary shops..around rm3 for one big piece

guys,really thanks for your feedbacks!

for sure i'll get rid of that sidepanel thing later

add more colours so it'll not just plain green

and new paintjob!

thanks again guys!

oh ya.cut it myself

after received u guys feedbacks, ive decided to.....

i wanted to make a two tone case.black case and blue-ish interiors,well i'll stick to UV mod this time although i agree that white ccfls rawks...

cut the "z" sidepanel thingie

replace the whole plexiglass make 2 proper ducts direct to the cpu & gpu

maybe 'decorate' the right-sidepanel alil bit

em, how bout my front panel guys?

and any recommendations on watercoolers?

hard mod ya?

bro ianho plz help!!

alrite..pic added.but no right sidepanel and back panel yet

cacings.heheh

that word?ya i'll get rid of it 4 sure,after a paintjob

still, i want to put some words on that side,to put some "identity",kut? ye la tu identiti kan.

just, wrong choice of words and fonts always happens.hehe

but my bays are stealthed and i liked it that way

its a cable wrap.Which brand?

" Poor Man Cable Wraps" j/k. just a plain translucent wrap painted with fluoro paint.

lol

yap already stated before

yap i sprayed it

instead of applying coats of paint, i just pointed the nozzle far away and just use the paint dust/particles to stick onto the wraps.layer by layer.

it sticks perfectly as long the layers are not too thick.
if its too thick,the paint'll look glossy

so far the color on the wraps will only worn off/scratched by excessive force.

fluoro pink wraps

painted wraps vs plain wraps

Added on June 6, 2007, 11:13 pmhi guys.been awhile since my last post

god.talk abt how fast time flies

its been awhile since my last post( a year).been out of the pc modding board for a while.duh.busy.


however suddenly i got the itch to mod my case when i saw btx rigs.they looked kinda cool with the gpu on top of the casing.plus i really wanted my psu to sit on the bottom of the case







this is how my casing looks like.

however its an old pic and the current case already had the funny arse 'z' thingie removed.and the sleeve already changed to a red 1.

one of my uv sticks also broke.lol.terpijak when i removed it 4 cleanin.

Objective:
BTX transformation
Make a top panel window
renovate the side panel
interior flat black
exterior metallic black

the mods are currently undergoing so pics up soon.


keep in mind that:
-this is my first time doin a major mod
-i only have a drill and a grinder in my power tools collection( semua pinjam)


so,expect things to get ugly lol

gamba lamak ya.old pics.


kinda lazy to tidy em up until mod is complete.summore hardwares are constanly goin in n out for this past few months


first step of the process.stripped everything down


after a while i found out the most troublesome part.My back panel isn't riveted to the chassis.its jointed!


separated! using iron saw(gergaji besi).the grinder was 'away' as his master needs it.lol


yay.successfully inverted the rear panel.testing.how it looks like.


hmm not bad.

will update again later.

nope.i juz flipped the backplate.not flipped the whole case.


sorry 4got to upload this earlier.

lol.the king kong ii actually gave me the itch to btx-ize my case.esp with the gpu ontop n visible via the top panel.but then u 'll really need a phat card with a phat cooler to strike it out.just like those in king kong ii's.hee.


so driven by desperation to boast ,i came out with this during my boring lectures.


tada.the poorman's custom card cooler.this the design concept.

what materials shud i use?


found my victim.the unused cdrom cover

uh late reply.been sick.duh net connection really sux ere.such a pain in the ass to upload pics.

neway the project is almost finished now.quite a mess tho

guess that happens when u start wif a minimal set of tools and budget.lol



later

uhu sumwhat i regretted startin out this mod coz im lackin off tools and budget.luckily i managed to get thru tho.
Tryin my best so things wont get fugly.

allrite wihtout further ado

continuation to the cooler mod.ive decided the material for my cooler..shud be cheap or free.duh.express made.




a cd-roms base



lined up everything real nice so i won't screw up big time.btw i'm gonna cut it wif saw.grinder 'away'.



tada.compeleted.rmaotfl!after everything was folded rite up i slapped some green surplus stickers on it.made some rippoff from the 2900's blower design duh.
in case u guessed the pointy things up the front supposed to be fangs



she's aint a beauty but she get the job done.the fan i used was amd's thin stock hsf.

total cost.RM 0.00

the chassis part


painted the interiors with flat black.due to unavailability of jigsaw i used grinder to cut a hexagonal hole as outtake on the rear and front.the the lower

rear i just removed the restrictive meshes.damn ugly.sigh.


everythin was laid down and sprayed.shown are the parts after 2nd layer of paint i guess.after that i left em dry for days to see the reactions or what came

up after my express sanding job.later, the sanding marks are still there even after 2 layers of paint

Front Panel



the 1st layer to expriment how the paint reacts to the plastic.



after layers of paint and re-sanded once again after the earlier layers are dry.


not quite the result i expect btw the greenish spot already fixed
