At the beginning i just wanted to take everything out n clean the dust...while i was dismantling my mobo,fans, ram ,proc n etc....i found out my casing was heavily scratched and feel like giving it a new paint...so i started my small little paint job....actually i din plan to post this topic, but on my 2nd thought "Y NOT?" and i missed the 1st few photos...

U can c all the parts are on the floor and my casing was at my balcony...



Too many dust in my PSU...decided to clean them


BEFORE


AFTER


The whole casing is sent to the CLEANING DEPARTMENT (my toilet)


As u can c here....i've sand certain area of my side panel, becoz those are the area that i accidentaly scartched them


After the cleaning....all of them were left to dry at the balcony...so nothing i can do

Please resize all pics. 640x480 is more than adequate. 800x600 to show fine detail work.

Updates...but disaster.....

I repaint my casing in flatblack. first i used this brand (DPI) of Spraycan for my Top panel


After done with my top n right side panel of spraying...my can is empty coz i spary for few layers to cover up the heavily scratch part and those part which i've sand...to get my work done quickly, i went to the nearest hardware shop n get another flat black. unfortunately, the hardware shop doesn sell the brand that i use to spray my top panel....so i got this instead...BOSNY...a chapalang brand i think, coz i nv heard this brand before.(Uploaded the wrong pic-white colour)


and then....DISASTER STRIKES!!!!i think u guys can tell the differences right? the chapalang Bosny turn into FOAM BLACK!!!!! not FLAT. and it is kinda powdery when u touch the surface of the paint even it is completely dry ....consider a failure... need to repaint


Left (DPI ) Right (Chapalang Bosny)


i thought i can finish my exterior spraying to...but...the Bosny brand of spray really spoil my mood....i think i will continue my work tomorrow

I think m2n-e also know this problem...he is the person who thought me this word "Foam Black". I cant imagine how is foam black when he told me, but now i can c it clearly for myself...

This post has been edited by melvyn: May 19 2008, 03:24 PM

bathroom need cleaning too looooooool
good luck

hi TS.. wht do u mean by foam black? er.. i dun see any difference from the photo...

those dirty parts u c on the floor of my bathroom are cause by the paint tat i sanded from my side panels....my toilet are clean enough....tatz y i do the sanding in my toilet...

---

Added on May 19, 2008, 8:24 pmdid u notice that the right(side panel) a more blurry then the left (top panel)...and the colour is darker(no shineness at all)...the side panel's flat black looks like a foam black means it looks like those foam and it doesn gives the steel effects....

This post has been edited by melvyn: May 19 2008, 08:24 PM

a bit blurry... u got the wrong idea sis..
foam black is like a foam color and looks like foam which have air bubble on the sprayed part. that foam black. its dull and not totally up to my expectation for flat black as i hope.

Most ppl were expecting hot rod flat black.

air bubble?...den i know y....are u mixing 2 kind of black spray together? those air bubble are cause by chemical reaction...coz there are certain brand of spray can in the market that u CAN'T N MUSN'T mix them together...or else.....once u spray them on each other....bubbles will appear...

---

Added on May 20, 2008, 3:41 ami bought a new flat black....hopefully i can get the flat black i was expecting...

This post has been edited by melvyn: May 20 2008, 03:41 AM

hi sis.. im still dont understand.. all you want is foam black isit? foam black is not shinny black isit?

no no.....wat i was expecting is flat black...those glossy black...but it turn out to be foam black....0% shininess...flat black will at least have 20-30% of shinniness...

---

Added on May 20, 2008, 5:07 pmYEY ...new updates.... hehehehe

TADAAaaaa~~~~pls welcome my new casing !!! Samurai's Metallic Red.....


Another view of my Metallic Red casing


Bling bling effects Among all the spray can that is available in the market, i like Samurai the most...other than its fine molecule of paint, its good for mixing colour 2.....Sparying 2 colour at the same time.... but i din do it on this casing coz i was kinda lazy n it is kinda hard, its been quite sometime i din do the double can spraying technic which taught by my lecturer


the outcome isn't that shining on the mobo tray coz i did the spraying during the nite time at the stair case...


to make sure it still shines even it is spray under a cold enviroment...i call out my baby to giv it a BLOW JOB
hahaha, don think someting else ok?!! it is a job of blowing the casing using a hairdryer.....
this baby is power enough to make the steel goes up to 70-80 degres at the speed of 7000rpm ++


tonite i will continue my work on the staircase.....CLEAR to be apply on the casing...YEY! after that its my f**king foam black panels

ok guys....its time for me to go swimming lor......tata

Added on June 13, 2008, 11:53 amHDD Led were switched place with the Power LED....and the power LED are now white...


Lastly....red neons are add into the casing.....


to make it looks clean i stick the sound sensor on the top

Final


Side panel still remain the same...will cut it and make a transparent window in the future....

ingatkn ko dak mmu gak...klu ko dak mmu..blh lar kite gi minum minum kat mamak....heheheh

haahhahaahah nanti la bila datang melawat uzairi leh la kita lepas sekali

erm.. u mention urs is a Powerlogic replica casing... tat means its not frm powerlogic rite?? i see tat there r sum diff bet urs n my casing...

ya its a replica...the original powerlogic 1 is tougher than mine...ya mine 1 doesn have the 1394.

Nicely combination RED+Black...
kena tukar side panel transparent la baru boleh nmpak kat dalam..
Nice mod

oh.. and the frame of ur case aso diff frm mine.. the front fan grill and the back fan grill.. get rid of them for better airflow..
but im kinda regret buying this case.. how much does this case cost u??

i will someday but not so soon....coz i'm thinking of wat to craft on my side panel...don feel like spraying on it..

---

Added on June 24, 2008, 2:43 ami wanted to....but at that time, i have no tools with me....the only thing i had with me are my hands....and a couple sheets of sand paper
as i mention at my 1st post, i didn plan to spray it at the beginning.....
y regret? the time i bought it...it was around 50...plus the PSU = 110 ....this casing is not as tough as the real powerlogic but it is tough enough for me to stand on it .....hahah tested it before i buy....

This post has been edited by melvyn: Jun 24 2008, 02:43 AM

the color are nice.It looks like a professional color.

no wonder the case looks diff frm mine.. coz u stand on it..
its too small for me and the back exhaust is only 92mm.. i dunno y i bought it also..
i will change it 1 day... maybe after i stand on it...
wow.. i bought it for 170 at lyp tat time.. it has a psu so called powerlogic 600w... blew up when i play nfs underground.. then change to icute 430w psu cost me bout 170... big pocket burn for a student...

hahaha...tat 600w is useless....if u are a hardcore gamer...but my fren 1 is still working fine coz he use it for word processing n web surfing oni...haaha...i stand on it coz i need to QC it when i bought it...but normal they won allow lar...hhahha...my supplier allowe me to do it coz we are very close ady...hehehe n he said..."confirm ok arrr" den i stand lor...

haha.. still working ah the psu?? i bet when he use it for gaming for the 1st time then will blow ady.. haha.. then can put in muzium..
i sent mine to claim but din even bother to take it back... the supplier ur bf ah?? haha.. so gud let u stand on it..

wouldnt u like a girl to stand on ur rig?

tatz the way my office QC those chap ayam casing....even though its chap ayam, but still we need to ensure it has a little bit of quality.....of course, not all we stand lar....just those casing which the supplier said its tough...hahaha. coz he oways challenge us.....

sit better...
if the case not tough then u fell down v will be very xin tong 1 wo..

not bf lar... just that we've been working together for the past few years ady...not only close with me, but with all my colleage too...he challenged us saying that the casing will be able to withstand my weight...coz, if the casing were able to "tahan" we are required to take at least 10 of it from him...end up he won ...hahhaa....
