Well...currently having my sem break now,so decide to mod my Atrix side panel rather than spent all my time either in front of a monitor or tv

Well...my initial idea is to exchange both side panel to the another side which means left panel to the right side as well as the right to the left..

Initially..Atrix left panel comes as shown in the pic which im going to use it as my right panel....


And im going to mod my right panel which im going to cut it and replace with an arylic and place it on my left panel

After marking...its time to chop chop chop

Well..it seems easy to see wut all the modders done here,but when it comes to me...all i can say is simple yet complicated

Drill some holes and sand it before spray to matt black again....


Well..jus as i tot all is going smoothly then i encounter some prob...my left panel cant fit to my right side of my casing...notice the metal tat i circle up...it block the left panel to fit to my fight hand side...


Nth much i can do now...i have to chop the filter of my left panel...hopefully everything can be fit after this

ooi, so rush to upload meh... ya favourite newcastle have to start lo, watch ball 1st la.... hahhahahaaaaaaa.........

so weird.... how come da left panel dun fit to the right side... both should be same dimension rite

Keke..nth to do before the match ma..so upload some pics while waiting for the match start,hehe

Ya..i think the same way at 1st..but i never think if the lenght is diff...the metal tat pop out or its more look like the 'back bone' of the casing is blocking the left panel to fit in

HmmM .. Great that you share with us your modding process .. I would like to know how much do you buy for the Atrix casing ?
Not bad with the lighting of the internal casing ...

Regards,
Hughie

Thx dude..pls comment as well,any comment will do well...i bought it RM150 from viewnet around 8 months ago(without PSU)

Some updates for today...
Luckily it fit nicely to my right panel...


Well..now its time to blow a 12cm hole on my arcylic,not a good attempt for a 1st time learner


Anyway..i would like to try a 2nd attempt,I decided to mod my top panel,from its initial 8cm to a 12cm holes...and,hehe..this looks nicer a lot


Everythings seem done..try to mount my arcylic and a 12cm UV bluegreen fan to my panel..and im glad it jus nicely fit


Overall everythings seem finish...now im trying to assemble my hardware to my casing again..will post the effect later tonite...

Nice job ! But i think put side transperant without dust-filter is better ! It will block the view on it

Erm..think bout it b4 but if i put transparent then it will show my messy cable obviously..hehe...which im going to hide it on the back of my casing..so its better to put dust filter

nice work

im also using Atrix casing.u have gime me some idea to mod my casing.

thanx

This is the final work...post some of the pics 1st..will post more when i finish sleeve my psu,damn messy now inside my casing...waiting for the sleeving cable arrive

now can see it clearly.

like my casing,but mine is silver colour.

perfect job

thx..haha...yaya,atleast can see from outside clearly...

Quite Nice ! Can i noe ur CPU cooler is it zalman brand ? (Sry for out of topic)

Wow so many UVs there

will got more UVs after that cos still waiting sleeving item arrive....

me too...

still searching for sleeving uv kit.want my blink blink my system

great job man..clap2...

Thx dude...yaya ,its zalman CNPS9500LED

Well...u can get it from niclasteoh in bulk section if not mistaken...im still waiting for mine

Thx dude..ur modded rig inspired me a lot

Mine is black but i duno how to mod this case ! and how to change the led that is on the top and bottom ! because is hot glued ! need help on special LED also

maybe you should mod the front panel.then the LED can be remove

Yup..i think u can actually remove the led on the front panel...but afraid will spoil ur original LED..but u can always replace with a new LED

gud luck bro..

Thx dude

wah... so nice ahh... i also want to mod mod loh... but i dont have atrix case yet... how much you bought it yaa~??

i think its about RM150 and below.

try search it at All IT shop.

ok i go check and see... btw normally got PSU included??

normally it didnt come with psu

i bought from other forumer and come with psu.maybe at the shop not including psu

Thx dude..yeah, i bought it last time in Viewnet at RM150 exclude PSU,around 8 months ago

atrix is a perfect choice

um... cant say perfect choice actually
its just worth the money for that casing...
quality is not that good (but its cheap )

Well..as i mention b4..u can said it's a perfect choice for low budget users...so far im satisfied with it, airflow, design.. jus satisfied with it

nice mod man, and nice case too.

i mean it is a perfect choice for people miskin like me

Thx Dude..

the lcd lighting can be change or not i dun like the blue lighting is so glaring and also spoil my eyes sight lo ! if can be change i wana change to white colour led or if can the LCD change to colour screen

maybe can.but the LED strongly attach to the casing.hardly to remove

Well..finally the sleeving kit tat i order had arrived...
Trying to sleeve up the psu cable...actually i din't sleeve up all the cables cos short of sleeving kit,so jus choose some of the cables tat visible inside the casing..rest i jus hide it behing my casing

now sudah bling bling

cun ma

Kinda messy to me...

Hide up more cables...

good, bling bling again...

quite nice, need to hide the cable more, then best ..

Thx Bros...for ur comment

Thx for the comments dude..i really wish i could hide more cables if im given more space in my casing Anyway..ill try to edit it again

btw where you buy that acrylic???

im planning to mod mine also

I bought it at my hometown here...but i think u can buy it in any frame maker shop,come come...lets mod ur casing too

Thumbs up man....we're usin the same casing(mine's gray...)....i was thinkin bout adding some sponge at the front(where the 2 12cm fans sit..) but i can't seem to get similar sponge as in like the one that's used for the original side panel....you got any idea?.....

of course want to mod my casing.still make survey for the materials and equipments needed

Huh??about the sponge,i really have no idea bout it..Sorry dude


Yeah..counting on u,hehe personally i don recommend modding for high cost,my overall cost for this modding is below RM40
Luckily i have a fren who have those modding tools..i jus borrow from him,hehe

Nvm....i've decided to use some plastic netting instead....i wonder why powerlogic chose not to cover it in the first place...it's literally pushing the dust in...

Hehe..not a bad idea though but for those sponge,may be u can try ur luck at cushion repair shop,i think most of them do have sponge available,jus my 2 cents

hey guys

i just bought this case! sorry very noob! never play casing before...but how to change the side fan led ? must change the whole fan? cant stand the multi color leds hahahaha oh n i bought it for about rm180....

thanks guys! this casing rox! hehe

i think you bettr change the whole fan.change the led might be too risky

yeah...better change the whole fan...just cost u around RM20 for 1 fan with LED...dont take the risk by changing with your ownself..huhu..

hehe thanks thanks..side panel should be the 12 cm fan rite?

Yup...its a 12cm fan

yes bro...12cm fan.

maybe you can try using UV fan.can bling bling your casing

hehe but UV fan needs the extra tube as well rite? as in u cant just use a uv fan alone rite? sorry..very new to this...thanks alot!!

yes of course need tube...but it wont cost you alot

hi calcool! just noticed u were using a zalman cnps9500 led..was thinking of getting the 9700..so just wanted to check with u if it will hit the 12 cm fan at the side?? for ure 9500 got a lot more space? thanks yah! ohhh also! wat brand 92mm fan are u using at the back? hehe ::

Hi treason,i tink there shud be not a prob if u mount a 12cm hsf,cos it still has a plenty of space,not a prob i think the 92mm fan im using is vantec brand...a nice fan

waaa... we have same idea... i was thinking this after i buy my atrix5000. im looking around this tread looking for good mod on atrix know what i found one that have same idea hahaha... but im no good at modding so i want somebody to help me to cut the side panel for me. im gonna moved to shah alam late this month. someone around can help.

Well...glad we have the same idea,hehe...u can always ask many sifu here to help u in modding...as im not a good modder

Cool bling bling....

im also in process to mod my atrix..wanna do by myself.but need a lot of time since im not so good in modding

Erm..i cant really get wut u mean,but after i exchange both the side panel,my airflow is better than the ori,tats wut i noticed after my modding

i mean dust ?

Fuiyo...nice mod u done there

Erm..for my case,i think dust control for my casing still good,i jus put filter on the fan on my modded panel..so dust for me so far is ok

long time no see, how's life there?

oops..btw, nice modding

Yo dude..thx for ur comment,hehe..paiseh..i din noticed that u have post some comments on my thread...haha..it was during one of our boring break..so decided to do smth on my casing lo..im not that good la seriuosly,hehe..jus for fun only..

lol! kool mod man! keep it up! hey one more question from me! i wn ask how to u repair the hinge that is on the drive bay ! like a door closing the Drive !

nice mod nice mod. like ur cooler

1st of all..i would like to apologize to johnkor cos was too long since i last checked my thread..

Erm..i tink my hinge or the door is ok for me..so far i haven encounter any prob,so i din really repair it but u can always take door out,its simple..there is like a 'clip' tat the back of the door,and u can open it from there..hope i answer ur doubt

Thanks a lot dude..i like it as well

lol take out not nice lo !

Ya..i feel tat way,instead i put a UV sticker inside the door bay..looks cool

anyway i am planning to get the TJ05

the cable is messy.. a well cable management is require for ur pc.. btw it is veri nice bling bling and uv effect.. nice job...

I wish I could..but Atrix provide very little space,not much space left for me to hide my cable

but if u hide the cable. the uv effect nt useful anymore bro...

Yup..u got the point there..but I admit my cable is kinda messy,jus throw and hide some recently..nth much edited,will post some pics if i feeling to do tat kinda lazy...haha
