I already pokkai getting this casing..LoL
So..today i tried detaching the front panel..Which comes with a mesh grill also..Took me a while to take out the grill..Korek and korek only..Finally take out and unscrew the side panel..Looks like the crack is really really bad! ![]() And you see..This crack here crack in the middle where an acrylic piece is sticked there..Which i don't know why..I think for the LED purpose.. ![]() So i should go on glue first and use bondo ?? Is there any spray that has like gliter on it but it's not metallic?? Any expert that can guide me ? Really appreciate.. |

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.. |
