Hi boys and girls and to all modders.
Wellcome to my 2nd personal case modifications thread.

This time,i will mod a case that looks like an Alienware Casing.This case i bought from a good forumer in LYN.Very cheap.
I've been waiting for quite a long time to get a case like i own now and mod it.

The plans :
1) Making a better air flow
- 2X 80mm intake.
- 2X 80mm exhaust.

2) Painting (change color)
*Currently yellow.Maybe changing to two tone color :
- Metallic grey.
- Sparkling grey.

3) Converting to a Inverted ATX.
- The original power supply position in on top,so i am gonna make the position of the power supply to the bottom part.
- Ideas from bro Shawty.

4) Making see through panel.(plexi)
- Plain acrylic glass.
- AC Ryan Black acrylic glass.

5) Installing a small numeric & alphabetic LCD (blue)
- Still thinking where to put.

6) Cable management.
- Hiding all those unused cables for better air flow.
- Looks neat and clean.
- Smart.

7) Optional Mods.
- Fan controller.
- Lots more.

Friendly reminders :

A) Give me a comments / guide to help me out as i am new in this things.
B) Tips & Hints are mostly wellcome.
C) This mod gonna take sometimes due to my tight schedule.
D) Tools that i am using is not for professional usage.
E) No sponsors are behind me.

Thank you to all.Hope you all can enjoy my new incoming case modifications.

Some of the pictures :















Will updates more and more soon.

This is just a normal cap ayam casing bro.I am not rich to get original alienware case.
Oh ya,i am not looking for sponsors,thats why i mentioned "no sponsors are behind me"

Thank you bro.Ill keep up.

Nope dude.Its just a normal casing.Cheap one.
Well,i am not a high-cost modder.Just a starter (newbie)

thank you bro.I just started modding my case.
The upper part i cant do much about ut cuz it needs a lot of effort and time.

Its not a raidmax.
About the colr,i think i will most probably use dark color.

Its hard to make a 120mm hole for the outtake bro.Cuz the rear part is quite small for me to put the fans.

Thank you too bro.Nice color combinations there.
Well,i will think more about putting the LCD.
i already ordered a small numeric blue lcd to put at the side panel to monitor my temp.

Hi guys.Thank you for all the ideas and comments so far.I do really appreciate it.

Today,i received some items for my case modifications project.
Those are :

1- Small LCD (blue backlight).
- To install it somewhere around my case to view the temperature,etc.

2- 120MM Ac Ryan Aluminium Radiator Grill.
-To cover up my 2X 120MM fans on the top part of my case.

3- 500X500MM Ac Ryan black mesh.
-I will use it to cover up some fans.
-Some of it i will use to do a touch up to make the case looks more different from original.

Added on April 24, 2008, 1:22 amHaha,i wont make so much bling for this project bro.I just want it to be smart and sexy.
Respray is a must.I am gonna send over my interior parts to be painted to black.Gonna use gun-paint.

Yo bro,hard la to make this project like a bomb,i am newbie only.
My budget is very tight to make this project,so i think it will take some time.
As always "mod with passion"

Haha,small only dude.
I have no money to get those bigger.

But still,i don't have the socket to put to the LCD.Its using a port (unknown name).
I hope to get the 7" inch LCD if the forumer agree with my offer.

The mesh also i bought from a forumer.Cheap.

Yes,i am going to make to inverted ATX bro.Its like what i did to my previous mod.
I need to make it to inverted ATX because i need a space on top to put a 2 X 120mm fans as the intake.

I am currently waiting for some of stuffs i ordered to arrive.Then i can start the PART 3.
Well,i still don't know what to purchase for my mod.

Thank you dude.Stay tuned for more updates.

Part 3 : Modifying the structures
25/4/08 UPDATES.

I used a aluminium saw to cut steel.Only RM4.80
But need a lots of effort to cut it because i can't use holder.

Yes of course.I will upload it soon.Be right back.

Here are some of the tools that i use for my mod.I'm still new at this modifying so i don't really need high-end tools like dremel,mitre-saw,jigsaw.= or etc.

1-Cheap hammer impact drill.
2-Cheap angle grinder.
3-Cheap metal saw.
4-Very cheap stupid tools.

Its something like dremel.Cheap.It can only can plastic that is below 8MM thick due the cutting disc sux.
Well,i don't really need it.

UGPM.
