red, damn hot lah.

plan 2 paint my old hp pavilion with red & black also, maybe will send 2 uncle 2 mod my sidepanel

Wow, add some carbon fibre sticker and you'll have a Ferrari theme like Acer's laptop.

Awesome mod as always.

Whoa.. I feel the sexiness.. RED hot.... Very very nice.. like a Ferrari d...

arrgghhh, this making me wanna paint it red too...

hehe. I compared it to my Ferrari laptop n u know what? It's the same exact shade of red. In fact my painting n polishing has made it even more glossy than my Ferrari laptop.





LOLX. What case u bought again lar? Always buy new case 1 u.

aahhh just another Lian Li, V Series, i will onli stop buying chassis only if Lian stop making one... then have to consider other brands, which is kind a hard for me

More updatessssssssss. Today is rest day after xmas celebrations so no actual modding work done. Just editing n updating so here comes the flood of updatesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.



Rivetting rivetting rivetting. The main chassis is now complete.










Moving on to the front panel now. Installing back the front USB ports.








Hot glue gun to glue back the switches into position. I had to scrape away the original hot glue to pull the switches out for painting.









Gluing it with the hot glue gun.

Uhuhuhuh... glossy red paint work. Nice paint job!

So many wires to the front panel for the on/off & restart swith... hope u didn't get it mixed up

That's the back of the front panel lar. Original is also lidat 1. But original is silver paint overspray on the back. What u c now is the red color overspray on the back. Front part of panel lidat mati lor. Ppl will chop my head off.

i know already it's the back of the front panel, just corious why is it not fully red? are there 2 layer for it? cause looking it for the 1st time like there are 2 layer, 1 the panel itself & 1 for the transparent covering it... guess u explained it is oversprayed

0.o... cut cost haha.... cant see place no ned paint...

Aiyoooooo. Where got cut cost. The Shark's ori panel oso lidat 1. Just that it's silver overspray n now u c red overspray.

then how do we gonna get the interior panel painted? does the interior panel paint included in the exterior paint package or the interior paint package?

Pls do all enquiries on the packages by PM. No buying n selling allowed here remember?

I will explain about the worklog here though.
That back part where it has the paint overspray, it's sandwiched between the door n the chassis. It cannot be seen from the outside or even inside of the case. That's y even Thermaltake left it like that originally. U will understand when I post the next update.

ooo, sori ar, totally forgot bout it... anyway, can't wait for the updates

I saw it just now and it looked great 'in real life'.

Daaaaaaaaaamn. I clicked Add Reply after updating n guess what happened? It got lost in cyberspace. haih. I will hafta update again.




Heheheheheh. U likeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee......................

OK here we go. I'll explain bout the back of the red front panel where it's black plastic.


Look here at this pic. C the aluminum panel at the front where the fan is? That covers the back where the black plastic is. So nothing on the back is visible.








Now look at the front. This is after I haf installed the front back onto the chassis.







So, the front b back is covered. That's y the paint is only on the front. The back is left as standard black plastic just as it came from the factory.

More updatesssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

Check out that shineeeeeeeeeeeee on the mirror shine paint on the front door. BLING BLING!









ROM covers back on. The covers were originally silver. They've been painted matt black. That's dust on the ROM covers. Havent wiped them off yet. The whole case will b wiped down n waxed right at the end when everything is finished.









Now it's time to assemble the whole front panel with all the different pieces. The gloss black pieces haf all been mirror shine polished. The lower shark gill slats r in matt black.









1st piece back on the door.








Now it's on to the shark gills. the front door is almost complete now.
