LOL! good idea also

Back in KUCHING? Hei you Kuching people?

Yeazaaaa... born and raised in cat town!

______________________________________________
Updates on the next plan of action!

Moving the PSU's location.. coz might install either a tower HSF or WC the sucka!

Got the idea from uncle... Thanks Uncle ianho!

From the old PSU mounting area, will cut out some excessive metal part


Will fabricate some cover to be able to mount 2x80mm fans on them... if it fits lah... will measure 1st b4 cut later on.


actual fabrications will be done after holidays... hehehe... later!

how is the 240V power going to plug into your PSU??

Going to be routed through the front of the casing. Cable's going to be under the front panel.

*Updates*

Ok, here's what happened when... I've had the plans all made out by now... my plans were to cut the side panel so that it would just show the hardwares (mobo area only). but then, after further inspection, I realized that the side panel has something that I would like to call "A deformed look". Why I would say that?? well... look for yourself...


look at all those holes n grooves...

After Masking and drawing the part where I want to put the side windows...



An even closer look



So, a little help here... anyone who has an idea on how to tackle this problem, please do tell... Coz seriously, It's not going to be pretty at all...

Use some "Lime powder"i dont know what it call in English so just translate from Chinese "石灰粉" in Google Translate

what's the lime powder for?? how to use it??

Anyway, More updates...

*hardware updates Part1- PSU placement and Cable Management*

After further nego with my wife, she decided that all she wanted to save from that old pc is just the hard disc and it's contents... so, here's what's going to happen...

PSU transfer location changed... from top to bottom
1st Plan


final plan n decision


going to cut this front area to improve psu ventilation better


Cable Routing Plans



Going to enlarge the two holes to make for better cabble routing


*Updates to be continued*

i dont know how to type in ENG.. it was something look like semen... but 4 recovering hole on wall and etc etc...

Ooooo... I think i know what that is... something like a hole filler rite?? white in color rite??? hehehe... dunno lah... also thought of using bondo but then, seriously not good with either one of those... so, will try and find another way around it... hehe... thanks for the input tho bro...

owh yeah...

*Updates: done on 29/03/09* rear exhaust fan
Finally made my cut on this casing... this was what I cut... (Scraped my last plan to put 2x70mm fans)


Was a little unsure at first because I was still undecided whether I'm going to put:

a 90mm Fan, or


a 120mm fan for the exhaust fan...

actually took me 30minutes just to decide... and finally, I chose.... 120mm

So, after masking and measuring, i made the cut... no pics while cutting though... but, here's after the final cut was made..



going to do some more clean up on the cutting area... still rough...

And now, I'm stuck with a choice whether I'm going to make a rear cover for that massive hole to mount my 120mm fan with either:

Sheet of metal, or


an AC Ryan mesh sheet...

sugestions??

next up.... Top panel exhaust and some more extra updates on hardwares... Stay tuned...

where did u bought the ac ryan mesh sheet?
how much?

AC RYAN!!

I think I bought 1 piece 480mmX480mm from mfcm and another one from ocz can't remember the price though and not sure if they have any more stock... I think can find some in Garage Sales... I THINK... No Guarantees...

My thoughts also bro... but need to do some moulding on the mesh so that it'll fit nice in (I repeat... IN) the hole... it's going to be a challenge coz its my first time doing it...

Anyway, as mentioned above,

*hardware updates - The Main Hardware*

do u think a Xigmatek S1283 would fit here??


More exhaust fans



The real Hardware...

My Current PC (Ex Mr. Pau)

*Updates on the top panel is on hold for a while. Want to concentrate on fabricating the mesh rear ventilation hole and MOBO tray mod...*
So, here's the MOBO tray and what's going to happen later(In RED)

Huge huh?


Dunno what to call this... Studs??

So, here's how it's going down... Cut cut cut cut cut.....




Taped and Marked... for death...

that's all so far... going to cut it tomorrow evening after work... will take more pics then and updates will follow suite...

Nice cutting and planning .

Mind tell me what tools u using ?

Rotatory tool for cutting ?

thanks and yup... rotary tool with diamond cutting disc. and rotary tool with sanding bit for smoothing out the cuts afterwards.

wah, got proper tools, not like me, only got a driller, jigsaw and a grinder

Cool mate ,

Mind tell me how muhc it's cost you for that rotatory tools ??

I am hunting for one too !


Thanks ,
Chris

where do you ever get those grillz. searching for the 2 x 120 one so long...

wow. things coming along nicely.



just go to ace hardware and buy a rtx. rm280. great. with 55 accesories shold be worth it. the acessories also should be hundreds. (currently i searching for acessories )

Put the acrylic panel outside instead of inside =/

btw, I have a question where you gonna put the AC cable?

nice idea. NIce modify.

those tools are just as good bro... also waiting till I have enough budget to buy a jigsaw... hehehe... seriously tedious when trying to cut a side panel... too big... jigsaw would do just nice...

If i remember correctly, bought the tool at sumwhere around RM180+? my dad found it at a hardware store in Kuching... he even gave it a test run and cut some blow hole for his casing... only thing different with this rotary tool is the chuck... it's using a drill chuck instead of an ordinary rotary tool chuck...

I think i bought that grille from UglyVamp aka Gary... forgot how much it cost though... It's a really cool tool to help me measure the size of the blowhole I'm going to make... A great template..

put the acrylic outside??? how's that supposed to work??? don't think It would look as nice... but thanks for the input though...


Here's how the AC Cable's going to be placed. It's going to be routed behind the front bezel/cover and go straight to the back.

Thank You for those kind words dear kind Sir...
