Well this will be my 2nd Case Mod project.
This Case Mod is gonna be for my CCTV pc, so i plan to make it look good,and the casing is quite old as you can see the pictures below.

Its an old Enlight Casing.

as the mod im gonna :
respray the case, [Theme Black and Silver]
remove those honeycomb mesh on those blowholes,
both side panels windows,
top panel window.
and see what else i can do

specs will be using my current rig now as im getting a new rig for Dragzon

AMD Sempron 64 3100+
Msi K8N Neo 3,
Corsair x2 512mb [1GB] DDR@400,
Asus EN6200 TurboCache 256mb
80gb hard disk or 160gb
CCTV PCI card the one which u connect the cctv's to the card.
Coolermaster 430w

nice place to work u got there......
if tired just jump onto the bed.....hehehe.....
just kidding........

I'd be following this thread pretty closely. Wondering what you'll do for this case...(I'm still using this old case for my own rig. In fact i've got 2 of them. One which is even older where there's no side panels, the whole case cover opens in one piece, and the other which i'm using which is totally identical with yours.)

Btw, ur case looks pretty well kept from the outside.

before u start .....GOD LUCK!!!!!!

Still in Planning in designs, of course i keep my casing well , this casing is about 7 years old liao

Thanks.

Still planning correctly ,need xtreme perfect measurements before i start

This casing still look nice.
Realy nice if u spray with black colour...
it's only my suggestion...

EDIT : typo

Wow, sherren, i guess you gonna get some heavenly help here...(Maybe some help from the hand of god? )

Ya, perfect measurements are important. I've actually planned on my mod as well before this, but it was just a side panel mod into a windowed side panel with side intakes.

7 years, my casing should be as old as yours. And the other older one could be 10 years already.(the older one was in the P II 400 days). Btw, i've made some measurements before this and the rear could actually fit in a 92mm. However it must be inch perfect in terms of cutting or you'll ruin the whole case.

Maybe you could consider putting a 92 mm there?

Mind if i ask you something, what did you used to do the cutting, a jig saw? I was thinking of cutting my side panel with a jig saw, but i'm not sure if it will bend my case.

Yea perfect measurements are very important in modding , but im not planning for 92mm ,sticking to 80mm,
The Tools i use is Black & Decker RTX 1, file etc etc lots of tools i have .well a jigsaw u can cut side panel make sure u get the correct blade for it.it wont bend unless u made accidently push an angle ur blade will patah + bend ur side panel

yupe it happen to me once when i want to cut window for my side panel...
hmm....just a mistake tat i nvr do tat again..
anyway...hope more interested design u hav for the casing sherren...

i masked the side panel, top window,ready to apply the design on it

hahah I seen a babe that I would be going to use it 2mr with my own modding as well ...

I've left that babe in the coffin for quite some times until this evening ...

thinking of getting some modding progress .. but still lack of some stuffs ..

My Ah Lian is ready to be cut 2mr ... once got back with some electronic materials for sleeving and wiring ....

Anyway U really inspired me back to hard mod the case ...

o what made u inspired to mod back ur case?
btw u bring in lianli hdd cage?

nice design... keep it up... wait for ur update

wah lau u goins siao arr so many holes and 5 casing fan @@
now amd damn cool leh

the same cutting tool that u are using remind me of my modding days ...

cutting through aluminum and acrylic glass .... file them to the smooth edge...

@sherren
Why u need LL hdd cage .. anyway just PM me for what u are looking for and see whether could work it out .....

wont your rig be noisy considering you add 5 fans into it although it depends whether you are using a silent/ low cfm fan or a noisy one it is best to reduce the number of fans to what you need only no need to overkill

Since 5 fans in use, maybe can use some lower CFM lower noise fans instead of having 1-2 high powered fans.

Btw, this case has insufficient intake and exhaust slots on stock, so the lack of intake and exhaust can only be made up by adding fans either on top or at the sides.

This budak kecik is nvr lack of creative ideas which he's also able 2 translate into stunning results. His enthusiasm & determination make me admire him more than any1 else

Frm the moment he talked bout this, knw somtin' gr8 is comin' so all da best wishes & I hope more ppl 'll b inspired 2 go into modding

But shouldnt I xpect that frm the only modder I knw who runs his rotary tool @ max speed yet doesnt ruin the workpiece?

Woah another mod... go on, I didn't come online (and didnt reply to ur msgs cos busy) to catch the end result of dragzon... the side panel looks creative

yea is a different design then normal square side panel , wanna try out sumthin new , which the design is quite rare so why dont i do sumthin different since i have the tools
