Hell work : Fixing cables...
2 Days Ago 6pm - 12pm

Ya here's what I did for my casing, put a board to cover up the messy cables. Since I want to make some fix on my other components, so as well I fix the 'buttom-cover' as well. Last time I used some paper blocks as the 'feet', but this time I cut some chunks of the home-electrical-cable covering tubes (though it rectangle... What that thing called anyway?).



Next I just stick it with double tapes...



Oh here a simple paper-board I cut.



Er, I changed the position of those blocks, fix those switches, cables, molex... WTH. What switches you ask? Just continue reading and you'll know.



Now just cover it up and ready to put the board on.



Oh hei, let's looks at the chaotic side...



OK after put on the board, woah it looks far better than doing nothing.



I also make abit of lighting at the front cover, but... I need some brighter LEDs. The border just not BOOM enough... If the LEDs are bright enough, you'll notice the whole left and right border of the middle plate glow. Of course, since it white plastic, some light might passed through, I can later simply just stick some black stickers in the inner side to prevent that. Oh ya, also want to add some nice tribal sticker on it when I can come out any nice one...



Here's what I make the switches for... Now, for the LED first. Uhm, actually there are 2 sets of LEDs (one set on the exhaust fan and another one set on the side-window fan). They can be turned on or off saperately...



Now for the UV to go on stage... (Opps, me still newbies in most of these thing lah...)

It says : "Sorry, but you have posted more images than you are allowed to"...

( Continued post )

Now, everyone on the stage!!! LOL!!!



The rear part. The red one is the PSU fan. The blue one was the exhaust fan.



Ah... Still need alot more efforts... Just need to get some super bright LEDs for the front panel... =/

Yesterday 10pm - 1.30am Today

I notice the lion from FF7 was quite nice. I didn't want to cut it on the UV sticker, but I want to cut the card-board instead, then stick the UV paper
from behind... Give it a bit of depth sense, instead of just 2D. But it gonna be tough to cut the card-board... Ok draw it on the back of the board first (cuz the front is black la)...



Now stick it on a piece of marble so I can proceed to cut it.



Duh... Tough, cuz it PAPER!!! Gonna be real careful or else I gonna ruin everything...



More than 2 hours later... I just put it in first, pretty tired already cuz... 1.00am I finish cutting it. Just put it on for demo first, still got some
stuff to fix. (urgh, it looks abit pale because I just put on a low-quality UV paper...)



Deng................ Pening kepala, jari sakit, mata sakit...

Just a simple thick card board bought from Popular. One face is black and the back is white.

Simply cut your stickers less tham 1mm thick, then stick them part by part on the circuit... Easy... I got many LEDs now and maybe chnages the front light to orange-red blending...

??? Hei, is Lowyat database been reset yesterday? Suppose I already posted here...

It 2V each.
