hahahaha.. stomach spa? nvr heard of it..
yeah yeah updates updates

Wokeh, here's the story on Jaws. Phewwwwwwww what a rush job. Fastest complete build project I ever did. 2 days kau tim. Trust me, u fellas wont wanna do a complete mod build in 2 days. It's very, very, very, very tiring. Even after building so many rigs, to finish a rig in 2 days is extremely hard.



On to the story of jaws. 1st thing I did after stripping out all the hardware was to strip the chassis.










After that I stripped the parts off the side panel, Masked n marked it for cutting.










Time to chop chop chop.









Side window rough cut is done.








Marked out the acrylic for cutting.

After detailed work on the side panel it's now ready for the acrylic mounting.










After that I moved on to the top panel blowhole. At 1st the plan was to cut a top window. Then we had a change of plans coz this rig is placed next to the bed in the room n it was deemed that a top window wud allow too much light out from the top. It wudn b too pleasant to sleep with so much light at night. So all I'm doing for the top is a blowhole. It's all the way back near the PSU coz there's no space for it in the middle. The top ROM slot is occupied by the water cooling reservoir, pump, radiator unit n that is a really long unit which extends all the way back to the middle of the top panel.

Marked out the top for the blowhole.






Top panel is done.









The case is now ready for everything to be put back together.

wah uncle after your sotmach spa you go for relaxation therapy also is it

Aiyooooooo be patient a bit lar guys. My stomach no spa treatment then I got no inspiration n mood to edit pix, upload n write story 1 lar.


Here we go with the latest story.



Mobo, HDD n the extra radiator installed. Note the radiator is installed the same way it was when I received the rig.







This is the way I received the rig remember? Look at the extra radiator down there. The fan is blowing air onto the side panel. Not very efficient way of cooling down the radiator.









This is the final layout I decided on. The radiator is mounted on the HDD cage n it's tied to the cage for a proper solid mount. Previously it was just jammed into the HDD cage. Any hard knock cud haf knocked out the radiator n it'll start bouncing around in there. The new position of the radiator is also much better now coz it sucks air from the front intake fan n blows it out to the back instead of blowing sideways.

Also modded the water kit with a complete change of all hoses to UV green hoses for more bling. The UV hoses r made for proper PC watercooling n r much better in quality n also adds sum bling bling. The hoses that came with the original kit was sum weird soft white rubber material. It was really, really soft n got squashed at 2 of the joints. Squashed joints=BAD flow, BAD flow=BAD water temps. The water loop is also more simplified now using less hoses for less clutter n better flow.

I also cleaned up the wiring. No more jungle of wires now. Unfortunately the OCZ PSU has an unusual layout n the wires come out from the side near the window. Although the PSU is modular, it's very difficult to do wire management with it coz the insulated wires r so, so, so hard. It's like overnight noodles gone dry n bad. They're very very hard n thick. Can hardly bend the PSU wires.

wow, clean and nice uncle

Here's a closeup of the internals. Nice RAMs eh? Look at that loooooooooooovely glow on the tubes.










Here's sum night shots. Whooooooooooooo, JAWs must haf had sum rotten meat for dinner. Sum dead cow that lived near a nuclear power station perhaps? Look at JAWs' intestines glowing from that rotten dinner.











With the side panel on.











N here we are at last with the final pictures of the complete rig. JAWs is now ready to eat all victims in it's path. Actually this JAWs is even more fearsome than dinosaurs. It's got a big huge Raptor 150 in it's stomach!

wow, great mod.
but wanna ask, the fan above the psu, how really effective is it to put there?

This post has been edited by nghj: Oct 13 2006, 06:51 PM

Very effective. Coz this Evercool water cooling kit, both the radiators r inside the case so there's lotsa hot air inside the case. N with 2x120 exhaust fans now, it's a lot cooler.

ohhhh...ok...cos i see the 12cm fan above the psu like no air to suck or hardly can suck any air, but forgot about the radiator in the casing
Thanks for the explaination

Bro, why did u put the 120MM far behind?
[I'm talking about the one on top of the PSU]

I think, it's better if u put it a little nearer to the 5.25 bay...

But, what to do, it's already there...

Haiyooooo i write all the long long nice story u all never read 1 ar?
Anyway there's a lot of space between teh fan n PSU.

May i know what tools u use to cut the acrylic?

I saw my old OCZ PSU there, hehehehee...
