Check this out guys... Jus wanna show you my casing

I've stated this case mod for quite a while now... jus that i have been busy with my studies so i can't fully focus on it till my semester ends. Then thigns will get rolling again. But i'll show what i've done so far... I will not show an image of how it'll look like in the end. (KEEP THE SUSPENSE- IF IT COMES OUT COOL!) I'll show you guys most of the step by step i did but not all as i am lazy to take the photos all the time. To busy and rushing to do the mods....

The look of the case before modding...













Once i got my casing... i stripped it but naked... here's a pic of it..

Once i stripped it naked... i started to plan. Now some of these images are jus for planning... was not too sure how i wanted to case too look like. I might change my idea last minute.. so these are jus teasers...

This is the front door belonging to the front panel area...



So... i did the front first since it was the easiest...





In the end... it looked really nice. Not too bad for a noob working with a dremel.

Wow... nice casing mates. You made it really simple but nice. I'm planning to do mine the same colour lighting as yours.. hence the name "blue inferno".
Anyways... I'm going through my exams now so i cant do much work on my casing yet... but i will get alot done really fast once my exam is done. So please visit more often after the 11th. That's when i will do work on this baby... hopefully by the end of this month... it'll be ready.

Haha... sorry guys.. going through exams still... i didn't know i still have some papers to do.. study last minute Will get back soon and continue my work. Glad you guys are interested.

Okay... i wanna apologize to you guys cuz my left panel planning pic got corrupted.. dunno how it happened but it did. Anyways... i did the cutting in a few hours after i did my front door panel area. This is how the left panel turned out. I haven't smoothen the edges yet... hopefully you got a rough idea how it'll look like in the end.









MY stupid but cute cat.. very interested with modding as well...



Great!!! now my right side panel pic is also corrupted.. f***in camera... haye.. anyways.. i did the cutting... now it's 11:30PM.. couldn't sleep so i jus finished up the right panel and passed out once it was done. Here's how it looks like.







The flames on the left side is for ventilation. Later i'll do a small window with mesh wire for it. The top right hole it for the PSU. I'll be doing a small PSU laters where the psu will have windows and the light from it will come out from the panel slot. Hopefully it'll look good... now only still imagining it.

Hey guys... here's my latest update... sorry for the delay. I have been bust with helping my mom since she jus came out of operation so i couldn't work 100% on my casing.. but i did get alot done. Not to bad actually but still the rough layout of what's to come. here's a few updates i have made...

I want to make a top compartment area for my CPU. This is what i came out with... it's not yet complete.. still undergoing major changes.

My top panel for my case after cutting it... phew.. alot of work..









Using Epoxy to stick the top compartment to my top panel.

I also managed to play with bondo. Gr8 stuff... alot of fun but also alot of hard work... this is jus one layer of it.. i have to still put more. that i will do laters... for now.. gotta help my mom...







That's all for now.. for the top compartment... needs more bondo work but laters. I've also done some small work on my switch panel face plate. It's not complete yet as well... jus some spare time stuff i did..

These are the right panel window frames i was talking about earlier. They're not totally complete yet... my idea is kinda changing... planning not to make a window.. instead a window with bondo work. Still thinkin.....







The window and switch templates together.



Oh yeh.. totally forgot... i also did some sleeving. not the best of work but what can i say... i'm still a noob. Overall... they look pretty good to me.. "phew"

Does anyone know where i can get UV male molex connectors... as you can see i really need them to go with my Y-cables... and other cables as well.. please help

Hey guys... i was so bored jus helping my parents pack... i thought of doing atleast something. So i thought of changing the look of the front panel. Didn't really like it and to get rid of the fron USB compartment as well. So i used my new best friend... bondo to do the changes. Came out okay cuz i messed up abit at the USB compartment. The Bondo dried out faster then expected cuz i wanted to take photos... won't do that again... hehe... anyways.. here's what i got done.









This is a rough look on how the right panel should look once it's done...

sorry guys.. still working.. will neva stop man. I wanna see also the outcome.. sill doing the top compartment.. don't wanna ju do chin-chai one... wanna do properly.. the sanding i'm doing it manually cuz don wanna spend money on sander... so it'll be ready by monday lar.. so sorry to everyone who wanna see it. i will definetly do it nicely sp that you guys can enjoy the view... laters~~

Sorry ppl... i'm currently waiting for some things to arrive... I'm also at the moment broke. Used all my money on my other projects for Uni. The things i will update on soon...

1. Top compartment
2. Case Painting inside
3. Side panel painting
4. Wiring for switches
5. Things i'm getting and have already gotten.
6. More modding ideas.. my first modding but so excited in doing more... wait and see..

wow... now it's been a long time since i came here... sorry guys but there won't be any updates any time soon. I got in trouble from the condo i'm staying in cuz i'm making too much noise. So what i can do is jus do it once i get back home in cheras. Which is not always so please be patient okie guys... i'll guarantee something awesome... I'm also having problems with my modding... didn't plan it properly so got some few road blocks.... so once i've solved that as well... i'll be back on track. ~~Peace out~~

Okay guys... after a long long long sem... i finally have some time to continue with my modding... i jus started yesterday and i need to start kicking everything into gear... my ideas have also changed so i'll explain over again as much detail as possible with the changes i have descided... starting with the top compartment..
after sanding for nearly a whole day... jus imagine.. all done manually as well.. this is what i came out with...

-sanded the back first... now i have exhaust areas for my 2x 80mm fans...







-the front top sanded and primed... gotta see if more sanding is required.. that i'll do later...





-the side of the top compartment was suppose to be covered by perspex but instead... i'm covering it with some metal sheets with holes in them. It's from my frens casing and looks pretty cool...

Added on May 19, 2007, 6:42 pmOkay... unfortunately... my lcd stand broke... thanxs to my ignorance of leaving it on my table and my lil sis was interested in what it was that she accidently snapped the stand into two pieces.. so sorry bombman.. i know you did it so well till something like this had to happen Anyways... that gives me a good reason to mod again and play around with my heat gun.... so here goes...

- measuring the acrylic...



-cutting it...



-heat gun time!!



-bending and bending...



-ended up with something like this... no bad i think...



-Now for the face plate... it will be lighted with blue L.E.D's... but i think jus the frame lar... not the whole thing...

---

Added on May 19, 2007, 7:55 pmOkay... since my ideas have changed.... i am going to add my switch bay onto the top front area of the casing... but... before i can even do the switch bays... i wanna hide the wires so that they are no visible... so i'm making a cover for the inside to hide the cables..

- The acrylic..



- Bent with heat gun..



- Cut a U channel for the cables to go through... that's the front area, primed to see if anything looks uneven or what so ever...



- rounded the front so that it can slide into the top area with no problem...

will do mates.... i'm finally free till the 4th of june.. so there'll be alot of updates... that i'll guaratee... thanxs for the support...

Okay... so i have this problem with my hands or palms being sweaty.. so i descided to make this external fan area with usb ports. The fan will be used to stop my hands from sweating and the usb ports will be used for convenience...

-I found this 80mm fan frame from my frens casing and got rid of the mounts around it...reinforced it to make it stronger.



-Gonna use this baby for my fan...



- the usb



-Now making a cover frame for the USB area... i wanna cover it then make the base for the fan...







-Now all the pieces are glued together as a complete frame...



Back to the front area... i jus bondoed the 120mm fan frame and waiting for it to dry... then i will sand it smooth...
