i got 1 set of old comp, i think at least have 7 years already... the case berkarat & the paint also peel off already... so decided to mod it! make it look newer & nicer...

my casemod plan
- make a side panel
- side panel window
- paint in white colour
- double layer case, 2nd layer for psu & hardisk
- blow hole
- built in uv accessories......





this is my cpu case... smaller & thiner, is it?





take out the cover, the cover is n shape de, if want open it have to push it up! thE right, left & up panel all lekat together... sometimes feel very incovenience to take out the cover! it not like the case now all is separate one, got right & left panel.

so i cut it to three part, make it to right & left panel...




just finish cut the right side only. wah, this case more thicker la, hard to cut it & need more times....



so seperate to 3 part already! until here 1st....

double layer case? meaning u gonna add another case to this casing?

blow hole = side? top? or both? must be in 120mm rite?

drill some hole to tighten the arcylic & side panel with screw...








sand the surface with sand paper...






paint in white colour........left & right panel...







pasang the arcylic with screw & nut... that r normal screw only, i bought from hard ware accessories shop... see the diferent before & after!

after


This post has been edited by j@y !!!: Jan 3 2007, 06:16 PM

nice.. simple mod.. but i suggest to make it look nice.. Why not pearl white? shud be nice

front panel also same in white colour....

yup, all white...

yeah, add 1 small case for psu & hardisk...

side already got blow hole, cos i take the arcylic from another case ma, already got 2 side blw hole. the small case also will make 2 blow hole in front, but just 80mm only... cos that just a small case, the heigh is 10cm like that, not enough space to cut 120mm blow hole...




ermmm.... $$$ expensive la. normal white 1 bottle is rm5, if the pearl white at least wan rm1+ leh! if paint whole case need few bottle le

This post has been edited by j@y !!!: Jan 3 2007, 06:49 PM

oh... too bad lo then.. pearl white would really look great on it.. Just my 2 cents though

nice mod, liking ur paint job with white, but pearl white will be better, anyway really can't wait for updates

i also like pearl white colour very much la, i also think it before, just cos $$$ nia... very tak tahan la after saw u 2 msg here, scare i will suddently go to buy this colour paint...
hahahahahahahaaaahhahahahaaaaa.......

just buy it la, for sure u won't regret the result

LMAO! agree wiv E-J@1.. go go go..

more clear photo upload....

Wow some old skol into mod, cant wait to see the results, btw pearl white?

Why don't you make the window bigger? The dent part looks odd. I think bigger window is nicer.

you know what?
that is the reason for him to redo again and buy new paint

Beware, LYN is full of POISON..wakakaka

nice oldies modification

Man, before this, i've skipped on you're worklog, but now, i can't resist saying this...

You have a super duper power in cutting steels!
Those cuts on the sidepanel is beautiful, it's almost 100% straight!

Love you're cuts on the sidepanel, and about the blowhole on the arcylic, u did that by you'reself too? it's beautiful!!!

Awesome!!!

its nice to have more wider n bigger window..
btw that blowhole,is it for 80mm fan or 120mm fan?

hahahahaa... i know i will won't regret! but the cost will lo $$$.....

yaa, i also lazy to do it again....

the POISON so POWERFUL here!!! hahahaaa....... but i still can tahan!

How u going to "pasang" it back?
It "n" shape type...so ...
I no idea how to "pasang" it back...

that is not pearl white, just normal white colour only...





cos the arcylic i take fromhere, so have to match the arcylic size, no choice lo....

if i cut bigger then will see the cd-rom there, block vision also! the window size is 32cmx25cm, quite big also....





haha, thanks....





thank you, thanks you....

after cut out the window, i use angle grinder gosok the side again many times le to make it straight, sweat

yaa, i cut the blow hole too at here i take the arcylic from there actually...





i also wish to have a wide window, but have to follow the size of the arcylic that is 80mm both......

haha, see my update later lo....

taday got latest update... 'double layer case'

Perhaps you should use some nice sticker to cover those pits. The case would be nicer without those pits.

bro j@y!! u got skill to mod case.open a modding shop??ur cutting skill is excellent....

That's some very-very nice cutting man......

lol, i've try to make blow-fan with angle grinder.... the result is, like potato chips

ermmm.... ok, i will try n see... thanks ya suggestion





hahahahaaa, just play play nia, where got qualification to open shop la.... if part time ok la





thank you guy...........





kekekekeeee..... actually it cant straight cut a circle out, it just help to cut a hole there only.... after it have to use another tools to gosok the blow hole again then just can become round....

latest updated....

i use thin metal to make a small casing...







measure properly then cut it out.... after it have to lipat to a rectangle shape casing...











drilled a hole, then use screw to ketat it.... screw all the join part....








This post has been edited by j@y !!!: Jan 6 2007, 03:35 PM

whats that metal casing for??

and how did you make it flat.... i encounter this problem before.. when you buy it from the shop.. its already gulung together.. how do you make it straight and flat back?? you put something heavy on top?

This post has been edited by ggoo: Jan 6 2007, 04:22 PM

damn, very jealous, how u do that? c'mon tell us all

the casing is for psu & hardisk....

ok, actually got 2 type of meterial... 1 type is aluminium & another 1 is white metal (actual name i dont know), just call in chinese only... the aluminium will encounter this problem like u say... but i bought de is white metal, when i open it, it will automaticaly become flat at the floor, like the red carbet that let VIP walk.... so no need to make it straight but white metal will more expensive la

ohh yea.. mine is alluminium.. forgotten.. ahahah

what clor u goin to paint it, can't wait to see the update for this

haahahhahaaa.... i spent many days to do it leh, hard to do lo! a big problem is very hard to lipat it, cos white metal is a elastically meterial, it hard to reshape, like got spring.... and dangerous also, i always cut by the side, the side very shape. my hand injured everywhere....





thats y lo.... but aluminium will more easy to lipat...





i think may be is white le any good idea??? please dont pearl white again

Go for Candy Red...
It's "horny"

Candy Red? the colour match with my case o not? my case now is white woo...

before i also think that if use the thin metal to make a case will stable o not? i went to hardware shop to ask, the boss say white metal better lo... after finish, the result is better than i think before, it quite 'horny'

wat happen to ur old casing.....why u make a small casing

the casing for his psu and hard disk la..
correct if wrong

this is my case photo... very small right my case! if wan cut a window at the side panel, sure the 2 part that i draw will block the view inside... so i have to remove my psu & hardisk n wan make a small case to place them.... the small case will put on the top of my original casing...





yup, u r right.......






This post has been edited by j@y !!!: Jan 7 2007, 12:01 AM

open a hole at rear panel... this is for psu de...





open another hole again at bottom part... to let psu & hardisk can go inside & also for the cable of psu can go through to mother board, cd rom which located at bottom part (another case)....







i take off the hardisk holder from my original case...





then put the hardish holder inside my small case, ketet by screw.... actually the height of the holder & small case is the same...



place the small case at the top of my original case, try n c the case fit o not....

You are one crazy modder you know that?

No crazy mode there is no meaning to mod men......

of course it is still up to individual preference....

seriously... i like his work.. he keeps his worklog updates coming..he got the spirit of modding..

Will the PSU short circuit if you put it somewhere outside the casing like you did? just asking.....

hahahaaa.... cos i am a crazy guy





y u say no meaning to mod? u know y i wan do like that?





kekekkekeeee.... thank you, cos i also wish can finish faster ma





i think no problem lo, but not sure also. who can tell me the comfirm answer???

Wow... very interesting mod you have there... keep it up mates... wanna see the end product

i also hope can go faster, but still got many thing haven do yet.... beside this, i still wan to work every day, haizzz.......

if due to works...
u can start modding on 12.01 am

that thing looks like Aluminium sheet it should be .dont u think it wont be that rigid if you use that

You are very creative. Hope to see the final product soon.

haha, like that tomorro working sure very sleepy lo...





that is white metal (dont know actual name)... if just for psu & hardisk should be no problem... it is quite enough rigid if just put on the top of my case... if put bellow my case sure hapis la, hahahaaaaa.........





thanks..... i will try finish ASAP....

when u put on top of ur case i suggest u put some rubber filings between the top case and the bottom , later sure encounter vibration sounds and groaaa sound ,

ok la, thanks ya suggestion... after it i try to do like that c got what different betwen put o dont put the rubber.... tell u the result later, thanks!

i am not sure what u up to but that's the spirit and enjoyment of modding ...

if i would to know what u will be up to... there is no point of reading through the work log...

keep up and show us what u really have in mind....

haha... ok... the blue rectangle i draw is for hardisk holder before, i take out already....

1st, do u feel the hardware inside my case so tight & too small?? so the air flow very bad in my case, the temperature will increase if after few hours.... my processor is place at the back of the psu, its quite near, just 3cm between only... so every time my processor also very hot....

2nd, if i make a window at side panel sure have to remove my psu & hardisk right... cos they will block the view inside....

so i have to remove the 2 thing then make a small case to place them....

Basically with ur current rig based on the signature ..definitely ur rig would over heat after few hours .... it just so cramp and the air flow is weak and restricted ...

more updated today....

i cut 1 piece of arcylic to make the front panel for my small case.... i wan pasang two 80mm fan at front panel....









cut 2 blow hole there to have a good air flow in the small case, especially for my hardisk that place at the back of the front panel.... the psu also in the small case so if dont have a good air flow sure will very hot inside....











then drill some hole for the fan screw & case screw....









gosok again the side, will more smooth after doing it....









it is the look after i tight with screw already....

nice job ... u should proud with what u did so far.... i have never gone this far for a case....

with the two fans ... ur HDD should be safe ...

keep up ...

that signature is my latest comp, this is old 1....

u r right, it is so cramp and the air flow is so weak and restricted...but it will not over heat...

haahhahaaa... i wan put 2 HDD there, if no fan my HDD sure will get heatstroke...

nice job
u blow those arcylic with angle grinder again?

grinder all the way

btw, nice job there, really nice working can't wait for the update

hahahaaaa... this time is jig saw lo... cos if use grinder very slow leh & tire....
