ehh how u change the mobo tray towards side?

well originally it was ATX style.

Ur edit very fast. The stock A10 is ATX. I modded n turned the mobo tray around to BTX style. The side n top panel windows, havent decided on that yet. We'll see how it goes.

Bro ian like the BTX so muchhhhhhh~ All those new mod work also BTX style

Ya lor. Coz nowadays gfx cards are much hotter than CPU. With the BTX style mod, the CPU get's to stay cooler at the bottom while the gfx cards heat will just stay above it n get exhausted out the top. Also get to show off the nice gfx cards on top while having a cooler system.

yup, totally agree... but now cant show my pretty gigabyte girl liao... cos beavis is with a new owner now!

mod ur new mini case to BTX too lor........... hehe

SG03 in BTX XD

cant get a mini case here, but will get one in Aussie when i go there la
mod to btx ah? can mini case mod to btx? have to ask sifu Ianho that la...

cant wait to see your update, keep it up man~

Imagine how the sata cables have to reach the HDD bay...

you know what is the simplest way is ??? turn it upside down and u have a BTX case .. hhahha .. what a lame joke ..

btw.. I would really love to see if anyone sent their tiny mini m-atx case to uncle and let him shows the magics.

Ah..This recalls me, uncle, tempt Sniper69 to mod his A10 to BTX as well..

He had been tempted since getting one..LOL..

Updates.............................. the parts r all ready for assembly.








The BTX style mod is now complete with everything installed.








More updates coming soon.

mana all the bling bling stuff......... hehe

show us the side panel, i am very interested to see what the mad doctor prescription for this plain ah lian.........

What I'm more curious is the cables are gonna be route....

I route my cables through the opening nearby the HDD cage ...

however as it's modded to ATX style the cable would looks so visible if route through the opening nearby the HDD cage ...

Is it gonna be like that .. or there's some trick further ,,, make opening on the other side as well ???

hahha will find out when Uncle post more photos.

Uncle will always giv u a surprise!

Here's the sweeeeeeeeeet hardware going into Gila Monster.










Hardware almost completely in.











Done. Hardware all installed.











View behind the front door. U can c the modded intake slot covers at the top. The intake fan is behind it. Used an Evercool Aluminum fan for plenty of airflow to the 8800GTS SLI.










Closed off all the intake holes on the front door with air filters.











The outside of the case is just plain stock looks................... for now.










Gila Monster is done. Who knows, later may add side window n top window too. For now, it's the ultimate sleeper look. Stock looks with monster internals.
