hmmm ... nice job there .. the cutting of window as perfect as usual..

anyway .. how the PSU is mounted inside the optical drive bays ??

any screw come into good use ??

Damn nice job on the psu cover plate man! Must be a b*tch to get it to fit properly.

nice mod, btw, why the owner doesn't want the side case fan to be placed? i thought i would be great for an exhaust fan to be place neat the vga, since vga kinda hot these days

No screws. The PSU sits nice n tight there.




Actually no issues getting it to fit. It fits perfectly 1st time. That's y it's most important to get the measurements n drawing right b4 u start cutting.






I dunno y. But I reckon it looks better now without that side fan. IMHO, that side fan is really ugly.





edit: Oh noessssssssss! I forgot that the original plan was for a top window with 120mm blowhole. Oh well, back to work on Casemod MiniMe again 2moro. Wasted few hours cutting that lovely blowhole with mirror edging.

you're gonna leave it like that ? should invert the airflow direction and the power plug as well.....if make a 2x CDROM size acrylic box with the PSU parts inside can be seen from outside would be nicer....

erm.. shuold make a fan duct direct to the PSU if using sum nice PSU that have 12 ~ 14CM fan then put a at the front panel there to take out the hot air.. so the PSu got gud cooling...
bTW.. the PSU u sing I-cute 1

The plug on the acrylic plate is a spare female plug I have. The PSU power cord, I cut n solder to teh female plug on the acrylic plate.





Nonid fancy looking PSU coz the window I cut to show only the mobo. N the airflow shud b fine coz it exhausts onto the ROM slot covers then it'll be sucked out by the 120mm fan above. The airflow pattern of the case now is reversed. The 8cm fan behind sucks air in. The PSU sucks air towards the front n then everything gets exhausted out the top. If the PSU turn around then it'll cause lotsa turbulence.






The thing is i-Cute. That's y need to hide it. Hot air nonid to worry lar. Got the nice big 120mm exhaust at the top now.

with all those tiny holes on the casing wouldnt dust be a big problem

yup, dust is a big problem

need to clean it regularly la

even u put filter on the fan, it would only block the dust from coming into the case, but the dust will stuck there at the front panel, which is hard to clean it as it's not removable, just vacuum it la

i dun hav that many holes in my pc and yet i hav to clean it everyday(i guess i love to open my casing whether got dust or not...just for fun)

heheh...that's my case over ther...nice job man...

huhu nice bro..collect it dy?fast fix ur stuff in there n upload ur rig later..wanna c whole setup after modded

where cam i find the plastic ?

hahaha, dust, they everywhere

like wind also, they blow all over the place

actually sometimes i questioned? what are the positive benefit of dust in air?
it gives flu, and require human to do regualr cleaning on their stuff......

so now after modding can only maximum 2 cd roms...........can do cable management kar?

Wokeh, here's what I did today. Finished off the MiniMe casemod. I'll update as I go along editing the pix.



Masked n marked, ready for cutting.








Top window rough cut is done.









Cutting the blowhole on the top window acrylic.








Detailing work on the window edge is done. All edges polished to a mirror shine.












Test fitting the 120mm fan on the blowhole. Acrylic is ready for mounting to the case.










I'm fitting the acrylic to the window now. Will update again once it's done.

hmm .. another nice cutting ... anyway what's the purpose of having transparent top window...

i just don't really admire the top panel...

Well, the top window is really nice on BTX style cases like the V Series coz the graphics card is facing up instead of down. Having a really nice card like the 8800GTX n a nice big window to show it off from the top is really nice. Did u think of that perspective?





Anyway, here's the final updates.
MiniMe is now complete. I just completed teh top window which I forgot earlier. Here r the pix.


Roomlights on pix.
















Roomlights still on but PSU n fans powered up for sum bling bling.















Lights off! It's time to booooooooooooooooogie!





















Check out the PSU plate. Nice glowing effect on the rim of the PSU plate.














Now let's wait n c if ^666^ will be nice enuf to come back here n show us his bling bling.

Haha, the rim effects reminds me of a few of those mood lamps in Ikea's lighting department. Good case choice && mod may I say.
