here i go again... when have nothing to do... my hand become very gatal to cut sumthing... so i take my another "terdampar" case... termenung a bit, thinking of what to do.. and i dont want to do the same thing over and over again..

so what i think of for this case is...

1] inverted ATX coz i never done such thing....
2] top blow hole coz also i never did that...
3] super cool with less fan, so i decided to use juz 1 fan at top and use a powerful one.. 240v fan..
4] custom front panel... havent started yet, still using ori front panel, will do it later...

so here's the case...

side


front


naked side view

so this is the fan that i'm gonna use..


removed the top panel


done with the cutting


fan fitted to the hole

cutting side panel


done with cutting and fitted to the case




and this the the inverted case that i made... didnt take the pic while doing it... and this is the result...

Just like my old icute case got two bubble lights. omara rich eh. got project fund?

no la... if i have the fund rite now.. i will continue with my custom sff project.. today havent spend a single cent for this project.. juz cutting and drilling...

later... will korek money for spray and acrylic... hmmm~ money... money...

ur mod idea just like what in my mind now (about the i-atx and front panel mod), but ur front panel is flat, so dun think u'll have problem to mod it, unlike my case, the surface is not flat and got some stupid design at lower half, now i'm thinking about how to mod is as much as i can so that will looks better

p/s: still searching for fund and ideas (also time ) now to start my mod (thinking to open a thread here for this 1, before this during my prev casing mod, still dun know about this forum)

btw TS, gud luck in ur project

about the custom front panel i mentioned in 1st post.. i'm not modifying my front panel.. the whole square panel will be taken out.. and i'm doing a real custom 1.. from scratch using acrylic..

that's the thing that gonna boom my wallet... ekekekee..

how many casings do you have at home anyway bro?? hehehe... maybe when i come back to kch, might go to ur place and check out some of your other "terdampar" casings and we can discuss business... hahahaha...

omar,nice stuff..inverted ATX.

Any more surprise coming?

i have 1 left... a server case...

interested? i sell.. ekekekeke

i hav few more left behind... but not interested to mod it coz old style case... P3 era... u also might be not interested..

nothing much... juz the front panel and quite a supprising top and front design later... depend on my budget... ekekekeke...

why in the world do u have a power connector at the rear fan place?

that's for my 240v top fan... coz it's powered by it's own... PSU cant support coz only hav 12v..

how to invert it??ur psu originally at the bottom or u bring it down??

my ori psu mounting it at top... i flipped the back panel..

dismantle every single piece of the case frame... than u mix and match.. 1st thing to do is... match the bottom piece to the back panel.. flip the back panel upside down.. then u continue to attach the top and front normally then completing the whole frame...

at 1st i thought it's difficult.. then after i try it myself.. it's easy...

ts got banned

dont bother the front panel.. i didnt made any changes on it... will change it to a custom 1 later... also white in color..

perghh, white and black combination, not bad

but the front panel havent done yet... wait till my acrylic custom panel finish then u'll see my final creation...

hello.. omara86 here.. still using my buddy id...

i hav to cancel my idea on custom front panel bcoz dun hav enuf budget and too complicated to finish it.. coz next week i'm fly to putrajaya for my new job.. so hav few days left to complete this project (if i can.. if not.. wait till i';m back to kuching then continue)

the side panel with acrylic... the 2 x 120mm hole for filter only... no fan will be attached...


the newly sprayed front panel sheet.. havent take out the sticker yet...


sticker moved and transparent borneo tattoo design..


the whole front panel.. (the choc sheet is an untouched acrylic.. dun hav idea what to put on it...)



the original tattoo



i need some idea here

1] what shud i put on the top acrylic (the choc 1).. my idea is to put there "Powered by AMD Phenom X4" since i'm using phenom proc..

2] shud i paint the black front panel to white.. or juz leave it like that to maintain the black & white theme?

more updates


Applying sand blast sticker to the emblem part


This is how it look like.. half with sticker and half not... the lighting with the sticker look nicer bcoz the light distributed better than transparent..


Sticker fully applied


Lighting test with full sticker


And this is the full view of my current update

Testing the front panel lighting


In dark room with flash
