Then what ya gonna do with the isi-isi perut u cleared from the modem?

the isi perut still leave it under my table now, not sure what will be do 2 it later laugh.gif

Build an external casing with it?
I think it'll cost more than u buy a new set....

But it'd look cool after modding...
With led lights if u able to do it..lolz...
And fan too...

Btw i have like 4-6 of these stuffs...
maybe u could mod mine if u succesfully mod yours.

i think the most expensive part is buying the ide > usb adaptor kit. i can get this around RM40 in lyn.

ohmy.gif you wasted a modem. Why the holes is still crooked not in straight line. You should use smaller size drillbits size 1/16 to guild your bigger drillbit. And the holes printed on the paper should be doted/pointed, not circle like that..

Anyway nice to see some1 is modding..so that i can comment. tongue.gif

first of all thx 4 ur comment.

i still noob in modding, so need 2 try more only can learn more mah laugh.gif
