Well, if u dont intend to change to the Sidewinder case, all is not lost. U can always try n mod it like what I did for Kalakatu's Atrix 5000 here.

The Sidewinder is back for more surgery! Uploading pix to Photobucket now. This thread will be promoted to worklog status.

Will update with pix afterwards.

wahaha...wat now?
see thru panel on top with fan?

Here we goooooooooooooooo with the pix. Here's how it looks after I modded the original window from this...................









to a much nicer window like this...........









That window mod was Stage 1. After the patient went home for some recuperation, it became like this. New facelift side window............








The rest of the pix of how it looks today.









Home DIY sleeving by the owner didn't turn out as expected. The sleeves used r too big n baggy n also ran out of the colored heatshrinks. Also not enuf sleeving to finish off the rest of the cables as can b seen here. This has always been the problem with Vantec sleeve kits. They never gave enuf of the small sleeves n heatshrinks. Looks a lil messy. I'm gonna clean up the wiring with all new sleeves in proper sizing n sum wire management.












The plans for Project Sidewinder are..................................................................








U'll hafta check back again for the plans.

ian ur straight line is very straight & smooth ...

Hehehehehe.

...to be continued again

i think i see red and green curly fries in there. LOL.

i noticed one thing there...the problem with some "low cost" casings :
one of the steel slot cover plates are missing. Some manufacturer assume u gonna use 1st slot, so they dont bother to put anyway. But sometimes the position of the board is not accurate, so agp card position not in 1st slot. or sometimes u cabut the plate out, but got no way to put back. what happened to last time when they have the plate which you can take out and put back???

so in the end, very sien cos got one hole there...like invite lizard go inside

Ya lor. The cheaper cases come with stamped PCI covers. Once u pop it off u can't put it back in to cover the hole. Haf no fear, I haf spare PCI covers that can be screwed back in to cover the hole.

really worth the mod, got extra value services somemore...

can spare a few covers?...hehe..

Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan. My PCI covers Platinum 1 u know? rm500 for each piece!

Ian like to cheat ppl wan..
hope to see how it turns
