QUOTE(moderno @ Jul 18 2005, 06:17 PM) the event can be named as MOD Party....hehe not a bad idea.then all modders can get to know n exchange ideas first hand meet all the sifus QUOTE(pizzaboy @ Jul 18 2005, 11:46 PM) 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. advertise...still in "where to get" topic i suppose.heh give us the quotation for it

Is it an UV rubber strip? I don't want a normal black strip. anybody can help him??i have nooo idea... QUOTE(GoldenHawk @ Aug 16 2005, 02:21 PM) If you're just starting, get something cheap (...and expendable ). Start with small mods & work your way up. Try not to make this case your main casing. Just use it for modding "experiments". like he said...try only...not necessarily mean u have to get another case to use but for first timer/noob or any other categories alike,DO NOT mod on expensive case. anyway...PLAN well b4 u start.start with simple mods.good luck!

On my way Senior Member 565 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: Subang Jaya, KL, Bangi	QUOTE(hyyam85 @ Nov 4 2005, 02:43 PM) anyone knows how to make an input fan wif filter? wat is the material to make filter? and how to determine whether which side of the fan is inputing air? sorry, noob here QUOTE(jsnkok @ Nov 4 2005, 11:35 PM) look at the side of the fan.. there's usually 2 arrows there.... one for rotational direction and one more is the direction of the air flow.... QUOTE(bombman @ Nov 5 2005, 01:03 AM) Some fans may not hav those arrows described by jsnkok. So as a basic rule, the side which has the sticker blows the air 2 u. Hope dis helps u do that or just fix the fan cable to ur psu n turn on.put a tissue near it n see if it sucks or blow for the filter u can use aircond filter(aircond shop) or get any fine-holed nettings(fish shop/hardware shop)
