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..

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

Alright..thanks bombman..will do if i need help..I also kesian my casing..LoL
