This is the transparent casing i bought in 2006 but stop using a year after that since it ugly with all the cables exposed. Anyway, this casing is really bad on cable managment. Dont have the back side to hide the cables. The only way is, behind the mobo, but that will increase the temp of my mobo to 50-60c.

Original look, standard ATX


Striped down all parts to be washed and clean.


3m CF sticker to do the job of skinning the transparent casing


Skinning the side panel. The masking tape is used for the layout of the side panel.

looks nice.

fast fast install all ur hardware + bling bling

Decide to cover some of the dvd rom bezel with the CF sticker to match the front bezels.


The look of the bezel


I've decide to put the control of the CCFL into the case and hidden it.


Cable managment, not very neat but this is the best i can do with this case. No back side is very bad.


Front with all the hardware inside


Top side. Now i can see my 3850's fan spinning.

yupe very nice indeed...
good transform from trsnparent to carbon fiber casing...
between tat how much the cost?... seem like all the casing internal
n external wrap with the cf sticker...

erm bro..jus wondering izzit possible to curve the sticker for the curve angle ?or u dont have any curve angle?hehe coz lastime mod i think hard abit to shirnk to curve angle if didnt use proper tool like heatgun or hair dryer..the sticker oso wont fix properly btw u still did great job bro

Go fast and CF-ing your case.

This case sure cannot fit WC setup. Even now, i have so much trouble with the cable managment. I cant imagine what happened if i put WC setup in there. Currently using GeminII which helps to hide some of the cables underneath. WC = change casing for me.

thanks

I keep it minimize now. Replace the G-Power cooler with GeminII with black CM fan. The 80mm fans, i cant change for now since dont have enough budget to buy a new one.

i bought 3meter CF sticker from rezz's bulk. But only using around 2.5m. I wrapped all the interior except the back of the mobo and some part of the 5.25 bay. The back one. I covered which is visible only.

got some curve too. But i only pull them. didnt use any hairdryer. i think the sticker is quite flexible too. Bout the sticker dont stick properly, i dont have that problem. The sticker is very sticky. Even i have problem taking one out during the side panel process. btw, thanks.

Added on February 12, 2008, 4:53 pmMade some changes last night. Replace my CPU cooler from Gigabyte G-Power Pro to GeminII with 2 black CM fans.

The new CPU cooler


Not that shiny. But im ok with that.


Covered the DVD rom tray with CF sticker to match the front panel look.


I love this part the most.


Do some cable managment and i think better than the last one thanks to the huge GeminII


Latest look with CCFL off

wah

care to provide the link?? or perhaps the keyword? thanks....

Do anyone know where I can buy this kind of casing and how much?

You mean how much i bought or how many years im using it? Bought at rm350 2 years ago, used around 1 years since got another casing before this

you can ask forummer here in garage sale. i think below rm300.

where can i get d transparent casing?

Vcool sells it, RM220 only
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=359256&hl=

wah..
cool..

Cool casing mod you got there.

Bro, if u cover your case with the CF stickers then u already defeat the main purpose of buying a transparent casing from the beginning.

i guess hes ok with it since he said that its getting ugly for him

I bought it 2 years ago. That time i think the case is super nice. But only used for 6 months, adn i dont like it 'casue the cables are everywhere and very hard to hide it. Its kinda ugly though. I left it unused until i've applied the CF sticker. The reason i applied the sticker is to hide all the cables and moving to a bigger case since my previous case are too small to fit in all my hardware.

If that's the story then u have indeed done a GOOD job modding it with the CF stickers. Keep up the good work man!

bro , i like ur casing moded !!! well done

I bought at GIANT!

awesome job .. simply awesome ..

too bad.. this link has been removed..

ei
where u got ur transparent case...
so cool man

U made to BTX izit?

inverted atx = btx lar..

u got it wrong...BTX is the total opposite of the ATX. not just only flip down the mobo tray, the mobo layout and the placement of the IO panels also totally diff. some said its same, but for me its diff..Invertex ATX is invertex ATX...correct me if i'm wrong

ah.. i get it, u mean by the rear alignment is still same as atx, but the psu was shift and transfer to the lower part. rite??

i din know tat casing looks nice after carbonized.....

looks real nice... best part is, no cutting to make holes for fans, or cutting out the side panels to make way for acrylic panes... nice, simple and cool... hehehe...

lol. yeah. because everything is already acrylic. Except for the screws.

bro, why not find some black screws also?? use the shiny black ones... waaaa... sure would give a cool effect to the case... huhu...
