helloooooo guys......

i've started modding my casing since last week and there has been some ups and downs.....

to start off with, i've replaced another 'mirror' acrylic for the top panel to replace the round hole with the exact blowhole of a focus flow....might mount a focus flow there, but i have yet to decide....






ok, here are all the things i intend to put in.......might increase the 92mm to around 5pcs in total...

right now, i'm covering the ugly part of my casing, which is because this is an ICUTE, a lot of components such as the rivets and metals get rusty pretty quickly.....

to give it the rolls royce shine, i had cover those parts with 'carpets' to make them shine......

i used those black insulation matt (not really sure what they are called) to cover the rear and the PCI parts.....

basically, i'm using two types here...one of it is the thick one, which is around 5mm thick to use as a base for the bottom of the casing which look a bit grey and another type which is more towards furnishing surface type of matt




this is the rear part of the casing, frankly it's really ugly and the paint job was quite a shabby one too.....therefore i've decided to cover them up to make them look nicer and also to protect the surface from any form of scratches..

besides that, the matt will also act as a vibration absorber since i will mount my 127mm Delta tri-blade outside of the casing......the fan is mounted outside to give a cleaner look in the casing itself and it couldnt fit inside also



i've also trimmed off some parts of the side panel because the side panel cannot be closed if it wasnt trimmed due to the 127mm fan.....




alright, i'll just tear off the sticker off the matt and stick the whole sheet onto the rear...then i'll trim it using the art/sticker penknife.....it really comes in handy when you need to do some detailing trimming.....expensive as well because i need to trim off a lot of corners......if not mistaken, changed around 6blades just for the rear panel itself....

this pics shows the making of the blowhole



this is for the PSU





and the rest for the PCI and the I/O panel....





as you can see in the pic, some part of the matt couldnt attach nicely because there are rivets behind it....so i had to use glue to close up that gap




this is the complete (not yet completed actually) rear panel surface

i use black marker pen with a fine tip to cover all those white sticker which spoils the look.....

right now, i do have a lot of things to modify especially lightings fans and such...but my trademark frosted flame grill got KOed in the process of modding

I was really devastated by that man....worked so hard on it and i forgot that i already mounted on my casing.....when i turn the casing around, i tilt my casing and heard a crack !!! thats it !!! it's gone

right now, have to go on modding without that one.......have to leave that one for the last part....




after i've screwed in the sidepanel, i realized that my sidepanel couldnt shut firmly because the matt is not compressible...hence i started trimming the matt again !!!






this is the interior of the casing which i used the 5mm black sponge to cover it....

do note that this is not the final layer which i will use for the flooring of the base.......

as i still have a lot of wirings to do, i will have to make way for the wirings through the sponge itself and cover it with another layer of black matt for the final surface..



i've covered the 'sharkfin' vents using the black matt





this will be the final looks for the interior....

this is how it looks without flash.....the joint lines arent that noticeable under normal condition

Very nice work bro! Thinking of a design similar to yours (thanks for the inspiration) but without the flame design; prefer clean lines. Maybe will try it out later this year; will be my first adventure into case modding (or rather case building, as I plan to construct it from scratch)

I've mentioned this before-with no metal sheilding covering your PSU expect overclocking to suffer due to EM emissions from the PSU. If you're unlucky (I hope not), you may even have trouble keeping it stable at stock. Share your experience when you have time.

bro .i wan ask...how much is ur budget doing all this?

err.......my barton is still running at the OCed speed without a glitch....

btw i think i can run my PC at full load without a CPU fan blowing onto the heatsink.....my airflow is strong and efficient enough to do that already

i have not really calculated yet.....but i think will go near to RM 600 at least.....the most expensive part is yet to be seen

i estimate that i'll have around 18knobs for lightings, 2 Vandal switch for RESET and POWER, a few knobs for the fan speed, a few flip switch for the pulsating lightings

there will be roughly around 90pcs of multi-colour LEDs and some Luxeons if i have the time to mod them

crap...one week left only....got to hurry up

wo bro, very nive mod.... wish can go kl to see the party, but bz with assignment.... bro post more pict and ur last product...

the winning rig,.,.....lol....congrats

of course the his rig won.....that's the sickest rig ever.... total of 50 leds inside....crazy!!

Brother, time for updates

can`t wait to see.. any new mod to show us?

very nicely modded...cant wait for the complete works.... sure its a award winning design....
