damn funny man....expect to see casing mods turn out to be movie poster..couldnt help laughing for awhile there

Updatessssssssssssssssssssss. Here's the PSU plate cover marked out n ready for cutting.










Rough cut is done. Tried the fan n PSU plug mod to c if everything fits b4 I do the finishing work on it to make the edges nice n smooth. The brown paper will b peeled off once everything is done to prevent scratches.












Here's the original PSU plate next to my acrylic plate.













Mounted it on the case to make sure everything fits properly.














View from the inside. The plug's mounting bolts haven't been cut. Just testing the fit now. I will cut the bolts to make it flush fit on the acrylic 2moro. The PSU wire will b soldered to the back of the plug.








That's it for today. Phew, I didn't expect that darned plate to take so long. Was really difficult getting the plate to fit perfectly. The cutting of the window n top blowhole will commence 2moro.

always enjoy seeing ur work ian...somore pix is always so clear, can always make out the details

eh.....why not use 92mm instead ? can provide better airflow.....should be able to fit

looking at this casing .. i feel like changing to smaller sized casing from full sized ones .. hmm.

i realize small size setup seem to be the trend now if we do not require lots of harddrive space & above average performance.

I guess gone are the days where everyone craves for huge cases like the CM Stacker? that case is humongous....

wah never thought bout it.... damn, this making me hard to sell off my case

wo bro, more modding are....

**off topic,
bro can u pm me where can i find lian le casing...
interested lo...

ATE is the only way in malaysia or u could afford then go to Singapore all the way .... but the price would be more expensive then here...

off topic.... uncle the PSU plate can hold the 8CM fan or not ??? i mean directly mounted through the screw hole on the plate itself ...

from what i look it seems to be very close match...

wah...nice job uncle ianho..but why didn't u remove the paper on the acrylic? will look more interesting..u can spray it with black on the inner side also..huhu..

realy wud lyk 2c how u reroute the power line from the PSU to dat back plate... another KUNGPOW!!! move...

Cant fit a 9cm fan. I tried.









Heh. I still prefer big huge gigantic cases. Small cases oni good for BT rigs. Gaming rig using small case will haf thermal issues.









U mean the original PSU plate or my acrylic plate?







The brown paper will b removed later after I finish the detailed work like making the edges nice n clean. If I remove it now, it will get scratched.

i am referring to the original PSU plate ... can it fit the 8 cm fan directly ???

coz i would really looks better .... all alu mah ... no offense ...

i'd spray the acrylic piece (that covers the psu hole) black so it will blend with the rest of the casing. much nicer if you can get a brushed aluminum look on the acrylic

Cant fit. Also, if u use the original PSU plate, it leaves a big hole below. I can drill the ori plate to fit the 8cm fan but that ugly hole will still be there below the fan.

that's the pitiful part .... if only there is an aluminum plate that being anodized same as the case alu ... then maybe u could just make screw hole to cover the large bottom area..

just my sense ... btw will be looking forward for ur mod + all others as well..

NICE MOD...
BTW...
U USE WAT TO DRAW...?DRAW NICE..hehehheh

I do haf lotsa original Lian Li alu plates. I can make it look just like the original black brushed aluminum plate but with a 8cm fanhole n the PSU plug. It will look as if it came like that originally from Lian Li. BUT.............. the guy asked for clear transparent acrylic.




I use a pencil, ruler n compass lar. Apa lagi?

hmm .. that's the sad case .. nvm since modding is about on preference ...

keep up uncle...

Added on February 1, 2007, 12:27 amOK, here we gooooooooooooooooo. The pix r ready. This is the completion of Casemod: MiniMe.




The detailed work on the blowhole n PSU acrylic plate r done. The window with the acrylic bonded to it. All cuts on the window n blowhole detailed to mirror shine edging.











PSU installed into the front ROM bays.











Everything is installed. The casemod is now complete.












Here's my favorite shot, I just cant get enuf of it. That acrylic PSU cover plate turned out really nice. The fan is installed as intake fan. It will suck cool air in from outside n blow over the CPU n mobo then it will get exhausted tru the top 120mm exhaust.












I really like the way this casemod turned out. It looks really nice now n the thermal issues r banished forever coz any CPU heatsink can be used without worry. Can even plunk in a Scythe Ninja if u want to.
