this what i wan, 2 x 120mm at the hdd bay to blow at my graphic card and mobo


the hdd will go here


front view, notice the hdd bay blocking the fan by a little


it will need to go, 2 rivets on the top and 2 at the bottom will be remove by drilling


and the front too will be cut for more airflow


so the cutting begins... with a rm1X metal cutter i cut away the unneeded parts

it cuts like a butter


while im at it, i will made some holes at the back for my cable management..hahaha

sharp edges should be fold in, but its late and i was lazy


the above mod took me 30minutes only...i wanted a rotary tools but i dun have budget for a decent 1 for now, so i go along with my idea using a cheap metal cutter, worksmanship could b better but for me as long as it work i got no complain, and i wan it to be a fast 1...hahaha, wont do no harm anyway.


with tht done, heres comes the installation

1st in the power supply with some management on the wiring

then the fan, messy cabling here, they are not long enof, will get some extention for the power cable, but is there any longer sata cable?

the 2 x 120mm fans are press down nicely by the cdrom, a tiny double sided tape in the middle to hold the fan togather


the Hdd, i drill some holes for the cable tie, forgotten to take pic for it
why cable ties? the screw hole doesnt fit and i dun have longer screws in hand for the hdd


everything in
accept my GC, btw no fans at the back, everything taken off for the hot air to go out


the back is abit too messy, mayb will clean it up if i feels like it

better airflowlor, put the fans near the front panel have lesser effects

hahaha..sorry, my work cant really compare to those masterlah

the 1 at the back are slightly sand down

those at front are knock in a little with some sanding too, hehe

temp for the hdd almost the same, airflows are alot better

front panel have been moded forairflowlor...

haha, thts my idea, gona get a rotary tools soon, those can be made nicer with the rotary, but im not gona take time to take out everything and do it againlor for now, its behind the mobo, who is gona take out the mobo tht often...





haha...im not sitting on it, its a tsunami anyway, not solid like enlight and the others. dun really feel the difference in solidness anyway, the strength comes mostly from the 'pilar' rite?

the shape is very very bad, totally ugly, i got a jigsaw but not with me, im staying outside now.

the hdd is propery put in, it will not move at all unless its forcefully pull out.

30minutes worklor....hahaha, im no expert, if i would do it with a rotary or jigsaw (it doesnt really feels save to do it on this case cos the metal is really thin), it would took me an hour.

Added on November 12, 2007, 1:40 amthe hdd actually feels cool, tot of cuting the base off for more airflow but tht will not be reversable

i tried saw, its too slow , dent at the cut area onlylor

the 2 fans? only double sided tape in the middle for the 2 fans to hold togather. hahaha. fans are pressed down by the cdrom. for me they are tight enof, wont fall even if i move the case aorund, not properly done i know...

no way the hdd can fit at the bay if i wana put the fans there, ya mayb i can push the fan in a little more, but it will create turbulence due to no clearance between hdd with the fans and hence noise, which is why i move it from the front to the mid of the case.
hmmm i use cable ties to hold my bumper....only 4 of them, travel at 160km/h from serdang to klang on my bumpy arbsober didnt make them loose in anyway , cut it away and the bumper will fall off, easy for me to do mods to my car...hahahahaha

btw this kind of case is make of zink? or what meterial it use, for sure its not metal

its nice to see coments from ppl here...luckily those sifu didnt come and shoot me 9 9, for them, see also eyes pain.....
hahahaha, flame my mod also nvrmind

the last case i mod took me whole day + few days wait for laser cutting on the acrylic and its sold offlor, but thts was 3-4 years back when i got nothing better to do and full of passion for case mod,, hehe

the fans work pretty good, if i put a piece of paper at the inlet it will stick there due to the sucking power of the 2 120mm fans

hehe, very ugly worksmanship but it didnt really damage anything usefull, and its covered...hehehe, thx for the compliment on the creative side

planing to do a casing when i got time, getting some jobs done recently



hahaha, it wont fall, any1 who use a cable tie b4 knows how strong it is


slightly lowered, the huming sound is still there..arrrgh



haha mine is orang kasar style
