Ya teh epoxy will work. Just use it on the inside. Then squeeze sum into
the gaps in the crack. Leave to harden then sand it down nicely n paint back matt black. shud look ok.

i think u use too much force when u sand it, thts y crack gain sweat.gif

B4 apply the epoxy make sure u sand the surface so that when the expoxy harden, it can make a stronger hold. Need atleast 1 day to harden man! . good luck.

Haha..i shall leave it like that for now..Took me ages to take out the front panel..Raidmax seems to make everything tough to install and take out...And i already broke a mobo screw thingy and a screw in hole...I wonder if it's me putting too much pressure or the casing..

I try sanding it a lot and a lot of times..It seems to have a slow effect..maybe i use wrong sand paper..

Many hav trouble gettin' best results frm epoxy due to improper mixing. Wht u need 2 do is get the quantity of resin & hardener as equal amount as possible.

2nd, mix it throroghly b4 applyin' but within working time stated on package yea.

Dont 4get 2 handle glued item only after full hardening (also refer to packaging). Buzz me in YM / MSN if u still hav trouble dude. Kesian u & ur casing
