Wokeh, here's the project I've been working on for the past 2 weeks. It's a brand spanking new Lian Li V1000 still in the box.
 She's out of the box.   N here's a loooovely sexay Coolermaster GeminII cooler that will be used in the project.   OOooooooooohhhhhhhhh just look at those sexay heatpipes. I just cant help myself anymore. I hafta play with them right nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.  So I installed the cooler on the mobo even b4 I started on the casing itself.   Now, it's time to strip the case down. Side panels off.  This post has been edited by ianho: Jul 27 2007, 03:41 AM |

Installed the HDDs to show how the stock orientation is. The wires will all be exposed on the motherboard side which will be open to full view once I cut the window for the panel. Wont look nice with lotsa wires exposed in the side window.
 So, what I'm going to do is reverse the HDD cages so that the wires will all be hidden from view n haf a totally clean look from the window. 1st thing I did was to remove the cages.  Voila! 2 nice lovely HDD cages removed.  I then proceeded to reverse the cages n this is the result. All HDD wires will be hidden now. Back view.  Window side view. See, no more wires on this side.   Moving on to the top panel now. Making a window for it. All masked n marked, ready for lunch date with Mr. Black Decker.   Mr Black decker is having a goooooooooooood time on the date.  Top window cutting is done.  It's time to install the hardware.  Hardware installed.  This post has been edited by ianho: Aug 31 2007, 07:10 PM |

UV look in the dark.
 More pix of the rig in the dark. Top view tru the window. That's it for the main rig. It's all done.  Time to move on to the side window now. Mr Black Decker cant wait to go on the next date with Ah Lian. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Here we gooooooooooooooooooooo Mr Black Decker.  Rough cut of the top section of the window is done.  Bottom section done.  After a few hours of final detailing work on the window, it's now complete.  Let's put it on the case to complete everything. Side view for a better look at the reversed HDD cages. Wifi HDDs! No wires!    The other side panel with the Sleeping Forest motif.

hooo .. speechless nice .... every single cut is like work of a machine rather than hand cut with tool ..
btw.. uncle how do u manage to cut the curve line with jigsaw...I've always experience vibration or miss alignment when turning the blade to certain degree,,,,, It has something to do with the blade used ??? |

The geminII should be around the weight of an XP-90c iirc. I couldn't provide the specific weight figures, but the xp-90c weighs around 700g.

thx, i tried to slot in the hdd without turning the racks the other way but it wont fit, will give the reversed rack a try if the screw holes and wires fit.
Anyway sidetrack abit, wta abt how u shot the last pix, care to share abit, been trying to capture pix like that but not very succesful....where u only see the silhouette of the casing, everything else is dark and only the stuff coming off the lights are visible, isit only uv, or need a hi-end cam like urs or ????....thx |

eeerrr....me thinks them stickers or whatever on the HDD are overkill la. too square.
if really wanna put something there should use some design (like tribal etc) or something using fluoro paper and stick on it. like that would be nicer. |

nice work with the temperature display, but the stickers really a bit not in place,
just a suggestion, may be u can do some pattern on it or get a UV reactive plastic like those on the fan instead to cover on it |

Bout opening a shop, yes I can open a shop I guess but I'm a retired man n I've had enuf of the working life. Now it's my time to sit back n relax, just enjoy n love what I'm doing. I mod at my own pace n accept projects oni when I feel I haf the time n energy to do it. Once it becomes commercial it's no longer a hobby. I just wanna enjoy modding for the pure pleasure it gives me. |
