Sorry if I've offended you in anyways, just not happy with you addressing me that way. (Deduced that from what you've mentioned in some other threads. I'm waiting for my Uni application. So I guess that you're older than me)

I have an acrylic side panel. I have to take into consideration of the alignment of my DVD drives, the PSU and the acrylic panel. It's fine for the PSU to be there.

The casing wouldn't be dark. I've bought this 2 blue CM CCFL (there's no switch!) and at night, it glows like nobody's business!
I've got the switch and modding the CCFL.
Later there's gonna be LEDs everywhere, so I'm very sure it'll light up brightly.

I meant cable management with sleeving kit. Before I even took apart my computer, the cables are bundled together and nicely tied. It didn't curl here and there like worms. But even so, the colours of the wires, especially the 24pin isn't pleasant at all. Those colourful wires don't look neat even if they're managed nicely. Plus, I've got no space behind the mobo to hide the wires. Incase you didn't realise, look at the pic below. Only about 5mm from the piece of metal, to the cover.

i reserve to the end results..

btw i am not a modder..
i usually have ideas but implementation i prefer somebody who has skills,equipment and the experience.. aka ianho..
but cable management wise by myself no probs...

so i am just waiting for ian to start on my rig... so then it will be complete...
also i prefer a good mod, cable management to be clean. just like ian's king kong 2. very clean work...

Hope your uni application goes fine, can still remember when I was waiting for mine..fuh, tension wo.. No wonder you have a lot of time. Not gonna work?

Actually matt black is an interesting idea; did it in my casing (not posting any worklog as it was only a paint touch up & minor ariflow mod). Matt black brings out the hardware, especially if its lit. And yeah, I'm also another person whos not big on uv..or anything really glaring for that matter..

But I do wonder though, how will the blue stripes at the bottom look under the blue light from CCFL/LEDs. It might look quite different from when under normal light.

Whee~ the sleeving kit arrived when I was napping. My mom signed it.
Tried on the 4 pin first. Really hard to take out the pins.(no tools!!)
Gonna spend the whole of tonight sleeving.
And going to Penang to get my LEDs tomorrow!!

where did u mail-order ur sleeving kits from?

I've got my sleeving stuffs on Friday and I started working from 11pm till about 3am. Cannot tahan...
So after being on holiday for 2 days, here are some pics of what I did last Friday and this morning.

Since it's my first time sleeving... I don't wanna screw up and end up frying anything. So I did some labelling.




Removing the 24pins was tedious as I don't have the right tools and was using a tiny screwdriver to do the job. Finally...



After some time... it's the HDD power's turn. I can't fit the sleeve and the heatshrink in cos it's factory sealed. Took my scissors... *snips*











So PSU and front cover completed, time to start on some other cables.

What can i say...
Good job on the sleeving!

Thanks guys.
Made quite a few mistakes, especially on the heatshrink part.
Now working on my sata cable cos it's the only red cable around.

@cstkl1
Saw your uber 1337 rig. That's like everyone's super dream rig and you're the proud owner of it. Will see what the magic hands of ianho can make of your great rig.

Nice job on the sleeving, only thing left is the PSU case.

Hmm, we all make our fair share of mistakes, when I sleeved that modded PSU I accidentally put it all the ATX pins in mirror imaged, meaning the left most pin is on the right and vice versa (was in a rush-should have never done something like that). Only figured it out after I plugged it in and it the PSU's safety cut off immediately tripped (good ol' Fortron's safety features-if cap ayam sure got smoke come out already).

hmm i do sleeving of my own psu's usually but err dont mess with the 24 pin
hey i hope u remember to push the pins back the wing shape .. make sure u didnt snap them and get them back to the correct orientation back in the molex...
dangerous waters here girl..
when u push it back to the mobo make sure u dont see any of the pins coming out.....scary yo...

Good job... keen to see more on gals modding....

Still not that stupid to make such lousy mistakes. Plus... I've labelled every pin with a number. When pushing back the pins in, can even hear a soft click indicating it's in and then pulled it a little to make sure it's secured.


Now...a small little update,
Inspired by Ianho's mod... (I don't know why you guys call him Uncle)

call him Uncle -means respect him.. hehe (no hard feeling ah.. ianho)

Heehee~

Since I've cut the HDD power - warranty void, might as well do more onto the PSU.

Plain PSU's backside... (didn't take many "before" pics)



Give it some make up.


Fixed 'em back.






And here comes the fun part...




Black PSU + LED fan = pwns (well... you may think otherwise, but let me perasan abit lar )

Please give your comments so that I can further improve on my PSU. But please don't tell me to change the cover to acrylic. I'm not good with bending it, (I either boil it, or never bent it nicely). And without the right tools... I'm gonna go through hell making all those holes on the PSU.

Wow, cool work girl especially like what you did with the SATA cables.

How about mod the lower 80mm fan to a 120 mm like i did? About acylic case for PSU, how about you jonly replace the lower case panel like what allngap did, join seperate pieces of acrylic at right angles rather than bending. I doubt acylic can be bent to a perfect right angle in the first place-if not right angle you'll have to cut the metal case's corner to fit.

Cutting those acrylic pieces to size and putting them together would be a no sweat job. The big problem which made me drop the idea is because I would have to make lots of holes, including 2 fan holes.
Doing this without a jigsaw or any rotary tool (I just have a cheapo drill) will be a pain...

Am now adding LED to fans... super hardworking today...

Just wondering, you just have one blue LED fan inside the PSU?

The other one is still plain black fan?

wah, good job!

for tools, maybe you want to get some needles and some other sharp instruments.

as last resort, destroy the original molex and the replace the molex when the sleeving is done. i am sure shops sell molexes quite cheap.

Yes, just one. The other is facing the back and it's not like I'm gonna see the back of my compy always... so no point. Anyways, it can be easily chaged like the other fan too, just no use...

Screwdriver ftw!
No destroying please have mercy over those poor little molex.
Realised it's cheap, RM1 each. But if it's possible to save, even better.
