It took me months 2 come w/ perfect designs & measurements for this project. As I'd mentioned quite some time ago thr'll b lotsa firsts here. Among 'em :


>> Acrylic rear panel w/ blowhole

>> Acrylic mobo tray w/ lighting


The other parts r standards whn I do full make-over like transparent side & top panels , Quad-Channel Fan Controller & Blue LED illumination

These 'll show u wont need supa dupa xpensive cases for cun modding


Sorry 2 d owner boy.jactech lama sgt mau start but as promised thr'll b manyak shocks. Hopefully u'll njoy wht I'll b doin'

the casing is cheap ......once finish i think it would look expensive

hoping a great result from bro bombman

U r rite...in fact this is the cheapest case I'd ever worked w/ (though, of course, I'd modded quite a no of cheapo side panels only)

But da vry purpose of modding is 2 turn things into beauties as I'd demonstrated times & again



Yeah, neither interesting nor anythin' 2 shout bout but jst wait & c



As always I'll do my best 2 transform it






This is da screw which need 2 b removed 1st b4 can take out the da front panel







View w/ both side & front panels removed








Da followin' 2 pics show poor workmanship whr both pieces of metal not riveted properly












As always rivets removed perfectly w/ minimal work










View after top panel removed too. Now notice that due to built which isnt sturdy the body is no longer properly aligned

hmm this casing inner design same as mine AVF F1 casing.
ur idea might be a good for mine too.

I know you can always transform this case to a really good one bro.You got the skills.Well,keep up bro.

oh yeah!! i found a nice thread here.. im using the same casing.. maybe i can get some ideas from you.. hehe.. i will stay tune..

Thr r few other models around which I found resembles almost, if not all, this case


10Q 4 da compliments. Da owner 'd asked me previously whether if I'm not interested in modding this case probably under estimating da potential of this case. But I told him it'll b another Project Xtreme Thunder in da making

Hence come wht may I'll show wht modding can accomplish


Assume many more r usin' this case & hopefully I'd inspire u all a bit here & thr

Da front panel mod




Before...









Being shaped...notice how I controlled my precision w/o da need for router









Diamond point is only thing u need 2 get this done










Result¿ Perfect inside out; cut out both mesh & plastic so cun












Thought so easy? Nope...took me hours. Wonder why so time-consuming? It's all bout art of perfection


All da cacing 'll b sleeved later after confirming choice of colors w/ owner. Also da chrome fan grill 'll go

erk y the blowhole didnt center bro?

Yeah...it's slightly aligned 2 da left 2 allow somtin'. Stay tuned 2 find out why...ehehe

hehe ic tot u miscalculate it btw izzit all rounded shape u using diamond point?or can use diamond disc oso?

If somtin' so near 2 u also can silap kira then better quit modding lor


No²...I only use diamond points for precision works whr u could easily shave off materials. In this case it's plastic.

The cutting disc is more for continuous cutting of metals, for example like side panel

ic mean if doin blowhole on arcylic u using diamond point?but when doin or cutting metal u suing diamond disc?coz tried b4 make round shape using diamond disc susah lor

wow.. cutting the grill is hard... you gave me an idea here.. i can try use 12cm fan then it will almost chun chun fit the grill.. haha~

If on acrylic can use Diamond disc or I prefer Standard disc purposely-made small like wht I posted previously in my gallery






If vry malas use holesaw instead





Yeah, dat was 1 of da hardest part. Gotta maintain the alignment btwn mesh & da plastic honeycomb beneath. Slight mistaken ppl 'll notice ready

12cm fan cant fit lor coz 'll b blocked by USB & audio port @ bottom...so used 90mm

ya.. the USB and audio port so troublesome coz the cable is plug from its top.. thats make me headache also.. haha.. but 90mm fan is hard to find..

Top panel done...frm this







Matching curvy durvy pair






Only ~3mm available btwn screwhole & panel's side. Miscalculate a bit & u 'll need screw the panel 2gether

Also b sure 2 make blowhole some distance frm rear as PSU might b blocked






Precision mounting works






The rivet here need 2 b replaced w/ a screw as riveter's head cant go in






In the end...
















Nxt mod¿ Either fan controller or acrylic mobo tray, depending on my inspiration
