since im starting to modify my case, and i couldn't find a thread to give question and get answer (Q&A), so i opened this thread, if it's not following the rules, then someone can move or close my thread, no hard feeling..

i'd like to ask,

1. i want to put extra fan on my case, any guide for me to learn how to do the wiring?? i think im familiar to the blowhole but im not so good in the wiring...

2. where can i buy led, ccfl?? what's the price? and im facing the wiring problem also..

3. i decided to put an arcylic on my case, can i get from hardware shop?? what's the price?

4. if i want to locate my cpu horizontally, is it ok if i remain the psu at the original position (vertically)??




hope someone here can solve my question, if i have any mistake pls remind me...

anyway thx for your attention..

hi zs3889,

3. i decided to put an arcylic on my case, can i get from hardware shop?? what's the price?

u can try find it at any advertisement shop/advertising shop around your place,
maybe they got it, at my place they got sell,
u can try find it first,gud luck

what's the price btw?

i forgot it,before this i have ask,but forgot the price,
its depend on the thickness,
got 3mm,5mm,2.5mm
but not over rm20 for square feet i think

Try pm nichlasteoh.He's selling Acrylic Piece.

seems like not much people are willing to lead me leh....

since that this thread cant get much attention from sifu2 here, then i'll start to do my modification slowly...

actually now im using this PowerLogic low-end casing, after surving the all day long here yesterday, i decided to mod my case..

case that im using, kinda normal case..



at the beginning, im still wondering should i do this stuff on my new case...due to im still a newbie, afraid that later i'll spoil the case and i will have no case to use suddenly something comes through my mind, ohhya i got a old, faulty, unused CPU in my storeroom, i was excited !!

rush to storeroom and carry out the cpu, next thing i did is 'decompose' the cpu

what it looks like..it's damn old cpu, almost 5-6 years ago...





is anyone intrested with this can make a deal



and everything clear off




or moderators can move my thread to Worklog? whatever, i dont mind, as long as someone lead me....

i grinded the side panel and drilled 4holes,


in order to put this thing (not familiar with the specific name)....






and end-up for the 1st day, what i get.....

my hands used to be alergic, after today's job, hands interact with dusts and sand paper, my skin peeled...........

Chill bro. U'll get some advice coming to u along the way as u r doing ur work.

If u need help on ur LED stuffs, let me know, might b able to help u on the wiring and stuffs. Overall, u've a good start, at least u've sketch out wat ur aim is. Next is to identify the area that u need to resolve the issues.

Good luck bro.

okok let's chill..

appreciate you are willing to help me, your request means a lot to me, i will ask you when im doing the wiring part, now is just beginning, btw do you sell led??

be patient bro..if u too rush u will dissapointed with ur work..haha
anyway gud luck bro..

vetical case mod to horizontal case . . . interesting, u have my support but no advice cuz i suck in modding, hahaha.

i know this is risking, lol..

but i will try my best to complete it perfectly..

im suck in modding too, just want to involve myself with some modding, enjoy..!!

b4 modding, get a pair of glove since ur hand got allergic..

if u need anyhelp, i could help ya out anyway, im a average modder here.
carbon fibre sticker u can buy at nearest car accessories shop around. while LED u can buy at electric store with along the transistor + wire.
PM nisclasteoh or go buy at advertisement(graphic) shop for the Acrylic.

price based on the quality / width of the acrylic u like to purchase. there's no absolute price in this stuff.

if u want to change to horizontal, it wouldnt be a problem, as long the fan keep them cool..

wiring is simple de.. no need to stress ur head.

but the wires stretch my head..lol.

thx for the answer, mind to comment about my fans location??

at my draft i just simply put it...

u should let us know the mobo, psu, hdd, gc position then i can comment about the ventilation.

n wiring u mean cable management aite?

hmm seems like i met someone pro...

the mobo and gc will be located at the normal place loh, just like vertical one..

hdd and psu let me think about it..will tell you later...

i know cable management, it does not make trouble to me i think..

im worry that after i buy fans, led, i dont know how to connect, and perhaps i want to add some leds on my fans, problem comes...

if want to add leds, then no worries, few of us here know how to DO IT.

for blowholes, hot air will go up, so, better make blowholes on the rear stead the upper one. make it all 120mm fan xD

fyi, im not pro, still average, and lots of homework to be done for diy matter.

as you said, hot air goes up, i put my fans at top panel and suck the hot air outside..??

if me, i go for input on front and output on rear, i wont make the upper blowholes. left it untouch.

even if there an upper blowholes, i would make it output instead of input, so it will suck out instead suck in.
