Some updates on my cacated PSU cover.

user posted image

Realise the blue stripes? Hmm... few uses for that.
1. To cover the whitish corner due to super glue.
2. To strenghten hold on the joint.
3. Deco tongue.gif

So two more pics of the PSU when compy's on.

Hey its actually pretty good, give yourself some credit rclxms.gif . Very creative cover-up job on the superglue.

Gosh, the blue LED fans are making me go blind... Has anyone ever considered using dark tinted acylic for side windows? Make it hard to see into the case when the lights are off; then when the lights are on voila! An extreme rig (well, depends) revealed from the shadows. Planning it on a future casing; idea from @meno.

Don't know how to measure CFM. It's 0.45A.
For the CFM, websites mostly said around 80++

PSU mod to change 80mm fan to 120mm fan failed. Opened the PSU and realised the 120mm fan can't fit because of the cables exit and the other fan. So now, only cover change.

ha ha, 0.45A is quite powerful for a 120mm fan. if u cant pasang it in the psu, then fix it to ur casing lar... biggrin.gif

Ahaha... just had to cover whatever which is ugly.
And the blue LEDs aren't really that bright in real. Don't know why it's so blue in the pic. Good idea for the tinted panel. My bro has a few sheets, but they're small and green. Need to buy if really plan to make it.

Actually, mine is not an extreme rig. Short of all the kewl stuffs.

Hehe.. thanks. The PVC was a bad cover. I only had one size and it isn't big enough.

PSU cannot fit any 120mm fan, the wires blocked.
0.45A really high? I've got a few Sanyo Denki 0.52A, then my computer can really fly tongue.gif

the best for joining acrylic is a chemical called Chloroform or acrylic cement to fuse the arcylic parts together. It is different from glue as this actually "melts" or "fuse" the acrylic parts together.

An idea, how about using those antistatic bags as tint material? Might be quite interesting.

For my future mod, I'll probably head to the car tinting shop..want a really black looking tint to match my all black setup.

similar... but not the same... this is for acrylic.

nope. it virtually joins two pieces of acrylic to become one. however it's not easy to make it perfect. but if other surfaces not supposed to be joint comes in contact with the chloroform, you will have some whitish stain. you're supposed to apply it by capilary action, it will draw it into the surface to be joined, not apply on the surface directly like glue.
