hi guys...
i would like to convert my new cm elite 333 from atx to btx but i dunno how to do it...
seriously, this casing bought to replace my broken i-cute due to the btx mod...
so reallly need your guides on convert to btx... please give me the ways and tools needed...
onegaishimasu...

these are things that playing in my head:

1. putting 4 in 3 cm..
2. adding 25cm at the st panel..
3. put 2 80mm fan at 2 5.25 bay...
4. adding 2 80mm n 2 120mm at top of casing... (sound ridiculous)
5. some bling2 with led n uv sleeves...
6. black interior...

please give your guides on how to make it done ok...

1st,remove all your parts as usual.

2nd,get your drill,rivets and riveter ready.

3rd,take out all those rivets that is needed to remove the parts you want to convert.Make sure the drill bits you use is not too.It will make the holes for rivets grow bigger.

4th,convert you back part of the case to BTX.Make sure all the rivets holes are in place.If its not in place,make a new holes by using a drill.

5th,if all holes done,get start to install the rivets back to their positions.

6.There you go.DONE!.

Good Luck.

how about the mobo tray??
what is the suitable rivet size?
can i replace it with screw and if can what type/size of screw needed?

i wud like to have rivet rather than screw..coz there part u cant tighten the the screw n nut..n rivet will gv more tough joint coz it tighten very well rivet size depent on how thick the metal u wanna joint..myb u can snap pic about ur case..then can c how step u need to do while convertin it to btx

i never see a CM Elite 333 before, but i guess its inner part is same like other normal atx case rite? so no need to detach the mobo tray, let it just attached to rear part, and just flip it to the left (this will change ur psu part to be below in ur ur casing)

heres are some of my casing...
sorry for blur n dark pics...

owh..omg..ur cable management!!..emmm..

wahaha...
very da serabut one hah???
really dunno wat to do bout cable management...
suggestion???

haha..emm..dunno how to suggest..kene creative skit la..sorok2 skit..ikat2 skit..haha

dah try ikat bos...
tapi nampak jugak...
sebab tu nak wat mod sikit then trus order sleeve kit

it's a disaster in ur casing. i mean aftermath. like ur casing been thru an earthquake.
huntkey psu got long cables. route them thru the back of ur mobo.
and move ur hdd to the upper slots. nearer to mobo, easier to hide cable.

bro..need pic taken from back of case..i mean angle from i/o port

cable gila baban. tapi i like the idea of hanging fan. hehehe.

should make acrylic piece to hold the fan and also can add some other fans leh... nice wooo... dah la that's my dream casing... kekekeke... keep it up bro... u can do it!

but my sata port is at the bottom...


sorry2... upload tomorow...

aku anggap ko puji lani ek...

i've planned to cut the acrylic panel and put 2 cm fans which are 12cm & 8 cm...
what kind of tools needed to cut the acrylic ek???

If i were u, i will remove all cables. and replug and route it nicely,1 by 1.

opssss, ni nak citer psl cable management ke psl nak tukar jd btx?

syg la bro to scarifice this case for btx project, me only use 'very' chapalang casing to do this moding (btx style mode), even the case i got near the garbage bin (thrown away by my friend )

going to sleeve it...


really hard ka to make it???

nobody notice that his Hyper TX 2 is facing the wrong side ? intake from back of the case? and his rear fans is not intake
