waaa... how can i cut a nice hole for blow hole ???

juz wanna share..
i bought 2.5mm thick clear acrylic from jalan pasar..the row behind asiapark carpark to be exact. approx 1ft x 1ft costs me rm7 only
there's also other thickness..for example 4mm thick sized 1ft x 1ft is around rm 10..there are more colors and thickness to choose from (clear to tinted acrylic) normally sold in big size (door size), costs around rm 90 or less...

thanx for sharing.........so, ur working on a project? i bet u figured out all the measurement.......sure will be tough designing from scratch.. waaaaaa.......must have a lot of tools too......

just wondering.......the acylic, u said they come in diff colours rite? so, do they also have like UV reactive acylic, those like the SunBeams?

welkam..
just finished doing my sidepanel...tools?? ahaha no la..drill + file(kikir) + sand paper only..hell of a job without the proper tools (dremel or jigsaw)..for measurement..just bring the sidepanel there

diff colors in terms of white..blue...red..which is not transparent one...more like what they use for signboards..the tinted also got various level...light dark till very dark one (saw black color only)..asked already about the uv reactive acrylic but that guy like blur2 one..so i guess no then..u could try ur luck tho

@Addario
tinted arcrylic u say?cool! thanx for the info do u remember what is the name of the shop?

list updated coolstuff->the UNIMAT

wow great topic, what a great modification n information side

Hmm.. or maybe we can have a gathering for the DIY job? then can share share the tools ma..

the event can be named as MOD Party....hehe

wow!!! just what I needed had I not found out something about my uncle. Hehe, he actually owns a "precision engineering" company! LoLX!!

So can get him to help me cut my casing and even have acrlyic! Senang kerja aku. Now all I haf to do is paint! Hehe...

One cool stuff I found out is that, to make the cuts so precise they use water. Annen they run this weird looking thing that rotates and cuts the metal sheet.
Awesome stuff!

those are waterjet cutter, more preferred than laser cut. expensive...

oic! They're rather precise aren't they? I believe MNPCTECH used those to cut his casings....or was it some dude in bit-tech.net?

no wonder he told me usually if customers ask, he'll charge.
Anybody wanna do it here? I can get it done for a cheaper price than shops like...OP? Precise too. Is this considered adveritsing? I dunno, cuz I'd just feel it benefits LYN members.

pizza boy contact me lol , add me to msn & i know you are spb member also & modding service - need one also

good to know it served itz purpose
not a bad idea.then all modders can get to know n exchange ideas first hand meet all the sifus
advertise...still in "where to get" topic i suppose.heh give us the quotation for it

hehe...quotation. I ikut overclocker's paradise la.

Fan blowhole = Rm25 (RM20)
Normal side panel window = Rm85 (RM70)
Normal top panel window = Rm50 (40)
Side panel window(Own design) = Rm100++ (Currently Unavailable,except special request)
Case painting = Rm150++ (120)

My harga is in the bracket.
Don't come bising-bising if the harga mahal arh.
I suggest to my uncle and he agrees that's all. Itu spray-spray semua bukan gua buat. That one I send to an apek to do. He more skill.
