but after thinking to get 4x8cm fan..my case wud be noisy so me n my fren jibamgodi try to figure out if we able to put 12 cm fan as intake..theres few part that need to be change if wanna use 12cm fan as intake..so we decide to intake from graphic card side since there wud b more suitable cmpare make it at proc side


these the sidepanel window that hv been measure to be cut for 12cm intake fan..put it abit top coz gonna avoid the pci and usb port on mobo..the space abit limited

hehe u c the blowhole been ready to be made..see the machine we been aware coz the sidepanel i think made of plastic..not arcylic..afraid it will broken when cutting process

the cutter start to spinning..haha like spinning gasing

its become faster n faster..the plastic seem melt..trying to hadle it carefully

Mind to share bout ur tat power toy?

Cut out a blowhole prefectly...

yup..it cut out d hole perfectly..u own it?

hahahah finally got to met mcfm today at ATE .. talked to him about his modding gao gao just now ..

those cutter he used can be found in hardware store .. but the machine that hold the cutter is industrial use to drill holes ..

however such machince is common among foreign modder .. almost each of them have one at home ...

I guess the machine isn't too expensive to get ... probably uncle Ianho could get a one to make his life easier ....

yeah. if it is not too expensive i guess uncle ianho gonna own 1

hehe those milling and drilling machines ??? if u happen to study in technical school or having a workshop at home, u might have one of those at home too.....

well the price range from few hundred to few k for a small one, but u can always go shop for a 2nd handone around kl area...

nice stuffs...good luck..

when those new stuff will enter their new home? lol..

May i know what it that CPU Cooler brand?
Cost?? I got excatly same CPU and Mobo like urs

haha relax bro..whole days working for it

its xigmatek s963 bro..nice with budget price..oni cost rm119 from the bulk section

here's sum update after whole day trying to manage the cable with my fren help really thx to him

haha relax bro..whole days working for it

its xigmatek s963 bro..nice with budget price..oni cost rm119 from the bulk section

here's sum update after whole day trying to manage the cable with my fren help really thx to him

the xigmatek S963 hv already fix inside the case..didnt try the stock coz need to do cable management so cant compare the temp

from top angle..nice izzit?

the extra space infront of mobo can lying there

the cable management hv made to make it clear..myb can make it better later perhaps

sidepanel been fix there

when it been glow with sum blue led and uv ccfl

the other sidepanel with 12cm blowhole as intake fan..fix it with 12cm CM blue led fan

nice when its running in dark

Nice one there dude.... got any photo from slightly further view and brighthen the images a bit more (for non UV shot). . kind of dark to see the details..

niceee! btw,got something like carpet there.. wuts it for? newbie here..huhu..

thx doom..i try update another view later coz my fren using his digicam..so no digicam at moment

hehe at 1st wanna put paxmate..but after check the left paxmate i hv not enuf to cover the space so i put the mobo sponge as i take few unit at my fren's shop

wuts the purpose of the paxmate/sponge? seems like it blocking internal airflow of ur case..

paxmate use for acoustic absorption mats to reduce high frequency pc fan noise..but ihv no enuf paxmate to put there so i put the sponge to cover my cable under it erm where u c its blocking my airflow in the case?there's no intake fan at front..jus make it intake fan at sidepanel plus exhausted fan at rear

owh.. i tot got fan in front for intake..lol..nvr play wit dis kinda case..gotta play with it one day perhaps..

haha np bro..btw yeah its has 8cm intake fan infront panel..but i didnt put it since will make the case noisy..the stock 92mm fan for xigmatek oredi make the sum noise myb i can try put 12cm fan mount to the hsf also later for more silent

this SFF can fit tower heatsink ?
quite impressive casing !!!

yeah bro..even ninja can be in it but need to mod abit

nice .....
(sorry bro, cant help u till finish yesterday)...

maybe later we can do some touch up little bit..make it more comel

np bro..hehe u help me much oredi..later we get yamcha abit with bisyr borrow gfx from my fren gonna put in there..yeah summo there'll touch up abit..myb CF perhaps

U mean mod the casing or mod the Ninja, i think Allngap won't wanna try mod the Ninja, later the heatpipe kaboom incident happen again...

bro mfcm when come to penang c ur amoi bring along ur SSF k...want try it...lol...

i mean mod the case..not the ninja..like this




i gonna mod summo this case after settle down my FYP

smart and compact la bro.Haha,nice...can fit xigmatek....even ninja oso can fit..Bro,x nak paint kaler lain ker..?

eh bro mfcm...your sig is your SFF spec ah? ingat u punyer SFF running AMD?

eh..my siggy it previous rig for tj07..sold it dy..yeah im runing am2 inside my sff no extra cash for c2d

oit, no extra cash konon....u are the one who will be using penryn 1st...

WOW, impressive work.......
but 1 thing bad about putting a tower heatsink inside, so little workspace, something goes wrong, dismantle whole thing..

izzit? i think it wont b prob if u fix n manage ur cable properly..u.ll get better air flow summo..this case really nice..for SFF i can put even my 7900gto the space not narrow compare to others SFF

@rainingzero
alamak bang..mana ada..cam ko ah..tggu loan..aku tarak loan dh..huhu
