the pics on post 13 was my previous idea... suppose to the out-take area... but i thought i would be really unnecessary to add 3 out-take on the top and 2 more above the psu... waste of fans... now i will probably have jus one out-take on the top cover, 2 above the psu.... that way it's not too congested...

jsut my idea bro..wont it be wasted as the air u take in straight away been suck out at the back?..coz the air didnt cycle inside ur casing first b4 suck out...can get wat i mean?..mayb u can take the air infront, hot air will go up to top of ur case then will be suck out by ur top compartment

Yeah... true.. but then you have to understand... there is also one 120mm fan on the 5.25 bays which will blow in air as well... not all the air that goes in can be taken out by the rear fan... another thing is that i have one more 120mm which will be placed on the bottom of the case to push air up... so the air will circulate... what i want is the hot air from pc to be sucked out from the rear case and the psu hot air to be sucked out by the 2 exhaust above it... the center top is the left over hot air that can't be taken out by the rear fans... that's the initial idea lar.. once it's done... i'm gonna try a test using dry ice or colored smoke to show how is the air circulation.. that's if can i can. See how it turns out okay...

Now i have an exam on Wednesday so i can't mod till the end of it... but i couldn't resist and i took a small break jus to do some minor things

- sanded down and bondoed again the front area... looks like it's coming together slowly...







- Now, since i'm making this usb port with fan for cooling my sweatie palms... i jus cut a space out of the foams for the usb area and the fan area, glued it on with PVC glue and left it to dry completely...



- Now doesn't that look nasty!!





- The fan frame....

Added on May 27, 2007, 11:21 amCools, i jus did some more modding... haven't slept the whole night. Busy watching anime till now. I managed to bondo and prime again 'n again untill i got what i wanted. I jus did the front of the casing cover and the rear exhaust area...
For the front area, i planned before to make the fan look like a turbine but unfortunately the parts i was looking for to make a turbine can't be found here in Malaysia. It is a spare part for air plane modeling, the cone... where it would be placed on the fan and voila! a turbine.. but instead, i had to make one from scratch. Using only styrofoam and polly putty mixed with bondo. Sand and bondo until i got the shape i wanted... check it out...

-Sorry i don't have the process where i cut the styrofoam into shape but here's the part after it... applying the poly putty...





-Then bondo and more sanding...





Now that is done, time to show the front case cover and rear exhaust...







-The rear...

Hey bro, u really used loads of bondo in this mod.
Btw, what was the cone for? Inspired by jet turbines?

yeah man... and also my grand master gave me the idea... MNPCTECH... they have the best mods i've seen so far. They also provide ideas and so on...

impressive mod.. can feel you put lot of effort bondoing your casing..

em btw.. what is bondo? 1st time see.. something like sillica or what? after hardened will be like metal? the curve shape for ur initially box shaped housing on top of your casing also use bondo?

Yeah mates, bondo is like fiberglass. Mostly used for custom auto body parts, like for e.g. Skyline R34 bodykit, they use bondo as base, then fiberglass as finish. I want to buy fiberglass but it's way too expensive... bondo will do jus fine.. once it hardens, it's as hard as metal but can be shaped using sand paper 80grit. higher than that won't work cuz you really need something that'll eat the bondo. If you want to try it, go to ikano power center and at the hardware store you can get 2 can sizes. Small and big, the big one is about RM120 if i'm not mistaken.

Added on May 30, 2007, 7:21 pmPhew... i finally finished sanding the top area to the way i wanted it to be. It took me ages but i was satisfied with the end look of it... i even sprayed primer onto it to see if there are any parts of it that needed more sanding or work to be done. Here is what the top looks now... i even included a pic of what primer i used. It's cheap but it's really good... got a good hold onto nearly any surface.

-Before primer...









-After primer...
