Oh those... i got from my frens casing. The one that looks like a G5. He wanted to throw away but instead... i took it. Now i'm using it as spare parts cuz i have another project coming up once this is complete.
If you have the cash... you can get mesh panels from the auto shop in 1Utama... they have it but quite expensive at it is mainly for cars. Who knows, maybe you can get it at a nice price.


Now, for the whole day... i've been trying to fix mistakes on the casing... after spraying primer. The mistake stood out like a sore thumb, so now i have to jus cover it with bondo again and the final sanding will take place later on tonight. One thing i hate most, if you want the primer to set in well.. you gotta leave it overnight.. crap*

-Here are the mistakes... can be easily seen from the new layer of bondo...

Well... finally fixed the mistakes... here are some pics after sanding it... tomorrow i'm gonna spray the primer.. to tired to do it now...

haha... can't wait to see the finish product...

gambatte bro!

coming along nicely...you're good with that bondo stuff

From this pic, can see that the 2 holes are not straight though.
Why not get it straight ?

Ohhh... yeah... i'm getting it done at this moment. Still trying to get the holes aligned. Hopefully will be one i am done with them.

Nice... smooth ol' sanded bondo.. yummy

Phew .... after one week of practical training... i never thought i could be any happier to get back to modding. During the week... i did minor modding since i had to wake up at 6 to goto work and come back home at 6... very tiring. Anyways... this is what i managed to do day by day...

-This is the side vents... primed and painted.. the grill



-This is the frame for the grill..



-Other things that i have primed and painted...



-Lovely blue...



-This is how it will look like once it's put together...



-The 120mm frames... one broke but doesn't matter... gonna make another one anyways...

-Painted the 120mm fan frame...



-This is the mesh i'm going to use as a filter... cheap but reliable... i think



-I cut the mesh into shape, primed and sprayed it blue... nice pair...







-The new 120mm frame for the inside bottom of case. Slightly bigger...

Now it's time to cut the bottom 120mm hole and holes for more leg support. My casing will have 4 leg supports to keep the casing suspended above the floor....

-The victim...



-Cutting it slowly...



-While cutting the holes for the leg... i ran into a road block. Apparently my calculation was wrong and the hole was hitting the HDD cage. So i'm stuck for the moment... thinking of doing some major raping to the case.

Haha bro, now u'd truly understand the term "Monday blues".
Btw, good to see you back and really hope to see you end product soon.

Okay... so i'm gonna take the cage out... do some alterations to it. since it's coming out.. might as well improve the air flow by making more gaps and so on. Anyways... took the rivets out easily... check it out..

-Bye bye rivets...



-The Drive cage...





-The surgery was a success!





-Check out how easily the case front can bend... very flimsy.. mmm.. i think i wanna re-inforce it laters.. gotta find a solution for that.

All finished or active worklogs bumped to avoid deletion.

Cools... thanxs mates. Well appreciated...

Okay... so i've taken all the bays apart and plan to get rid of some bits and pieces from the bays. The reason? well... you'll see. Hopefully it comes out the way i want it to...

-Bare naked...







-Marking it out for cutting... increasing airflow..





-Cut and going to sand. Once sanded, going to prime it then paint it black.

nice...keep up bro....

nice modding... keep it coming bro

Okay... so it's been a long while since i updated. Been busy doing my practical training and was only able to mod bit by bit everyday. As i was modding i couldn't take all the photos of the procedure but i managed to take most of it.

~i managed to rivet the drive cages back into the casing and sprayed the interior black.





~Then i applied bondo onto the front door cover and the switch bay that will be placed on the top of the new compartment.



~Then i sanded down the door and the side panel until it looks like the way i want it to.
