Welcome to my worklog!

I am first time doing this type of modding, if anything wrong just tell me...
Thanks!

J@y, update more...
Dun really see what u plan to do there yet...
Anyway, show some support for ya project 1st, since saw u post so long nobody reply yet...

LOL... like pity him only.. hehe..
anyway u shud tell us wat u r planning to do with the case so tat ppl will get excited.. just my 2 cents.

Tat is not pitying him, it's motivating him. Pitying and motivating is very different:D
Btw, agree with u z3r0717. He shd post up what he intends to do.

Ts, ur planning to cut ur casing without taking out the hdd and stuff??

Cuz from the last picture i see u hv the angle grinder ready

Best if u could remove every hardware before u start cutting and stuff, who knows accident can strike and u'll ter'cut' ur hardware

Anyway frm those picture i still dont hv any idea wad ur planning to do?
R u trying 2 do a blow hole at the front?

sorry @meno... actually i start my project already yesterday evening, just i haven post up here, haha! cos my streamyx line not stable yest, always will disconnect ... so will post later!

so use marker pen to mark down the line that i need to cut... i wan to cut a blow hole, cos wan to build a 120mm fan at the front! this part will block the blow go through so have to cut it!


i lazy to take out the stuff, so i just use old paper to cover & lekat it. It will save my time too, haha... But important is i dont wan let the dust go inside when i am grinding... but i suggest is take off all the stuff and hard ware first will more better ways! This action just for the lazy people only like me!
