ur casing very very dark.. lol... but not bad, i like the top panel but it seems ur window did not cut nicely.. anyway, nice effort dude. keep it up

thanks for the comment, this case will full with "bling-bling" when all items arrive... yap need to improve my self, first time doing mod job...

btw this case material so hard, ready hard to cut it, even i've made my drill bend twice jus to make 1 hole, really hard

Clean it up with a file (kikir). Then at least it won't look like you hacked it out of a bigger piece.

How thick is that acylic anyway? Thin acylic can be broken cleanly, no need to cut.

man u better file ur side panel window and top panel so it looks very neat and straight and nice curve cuts t or not u will regret since's a TT ARMOR Casing

thanks for comment bro..

here some final work...

mod LED from Allngap (put under mobo)




where i put the led (in circle )

asamble some fan and heatsink on mobo

hehe... hvn't oc the mobo yet... maybe this night, just finish install vista nad some games

nice mod....very colorful but awesome nonetheless. good work bro

i've made so changes, will load pict later....

here some pict, last update...

cool.....nice job. well done.

It looks better now, you put something to dim the light isn't it? Looks interesting too, got a pattern on the acrylic. Only thing can improve a bit is cable management-though sleeved the cables are still all over the place.

ya, was thinking bout that, how to manage the cable... anyway thanks for ur comment

All finished or active worklogs bumped to avoid deletion.

anybody jnow where to get and extension cable for 24pin pus cable?

Best way-mod one yourself. Or mod the PSU cable to a longer one (will void warranty though)

thanks bro for ur comment, what can i do, i love LED ...

to bad i snap it by my hphone camera only, i've no camera

THANKS BRO...

It looks my first mod quite ok lo, got other mod project for my friend, but next month... i'll share with u all...

How many intake fan bro?

3pcs, 1 x 120mm fan (front) 2pcs x 80mm fan (top)

Im using armor too but I dunno how to put more than 1 intake fan in front.Just buy fan and install?

i just put it at the hdd cage.... that all..

nice mod man...how much the cost?

abit messy for the sata/molex cable to/ forth HDD.

if can hide that should be better

Yup,thats what i saw..

Bro arjuna,hide those cables,looks great IMO..

Well,i love the Gs.skill UV thingy..

yap i know, thanks for the advise, for now there are no way to hide all those cable, i'll make second mod on this case later, coz now busy with final exam....

second mod job will be:
1. remade the window (both side)
2. remade top window
3. repaint
4. hide all mesh cable
5. make a hole on mobo tray

the theme will be :
Gundam Seed
Model : GAT-X105 Strike Gundam

Youre wellcome bro.

Btw,cant to see your new updates on your case later..

Good luck for your exam and the sounds of the theme is quite promising..

hehe, stay tune... will update soon, coz bought few mode item already
