we can use any spray sold at the shopping complex?

You can try cut this sticker thing like a say hello kitty shape, cut it out and slap in on your casing,strip the whole cpu and respray with with a high contrast color say like pink or white and use a counter color to spray on the sticker part say white or pink.Youll have a nice logo there.If you wana make it look more fancy simply just repeat the steps with diff shapes color size.

near econsave also got 1 wor...dunno got sell casing boh..

yup. waste money coz i format myself oni takes 30minutes and without money. but he sure do have some skills we dont. i recomend u go to dot net(behide the store). quite cheap the things he sell. sometimes the stuff need to be order.
normally here sell oni powerlogic or icute case oni. i think the icute case already stopped coz it is mor expensive.
not much choice here.

mana dot net?

behind fajar...

oh...tat shop looks very kosong de wor...got sell mer?
in front of legend pc shop there...

yup. need to ask him the thing u wan lor. i think other shop also not bad. juz the ming... haha. my dad also know him
here the casing all normal oni.
nowadays i oni saw the powerlogic casing selling here.

how does powerlogic casing looks like..
oh..ur sis same age wif me?maybe i know her...
haha..i was studying in convent last time...

oh... my sis at nan hwa.
wait i see if can find the picture for u

oh..okays...thx ar..
if i can get de casing i dunno how 2 transfer also...

to open a computer is hard for the 1st time. last time i dont even dare to open the screw, dun even say touching the component

these casing dun have transperant side panel??

i dun dare 2 open it tough...

nope. as u know, the ppl here are quite cheapskate. they go for the cheapest thing. that y all the computer shop not taking other casing. the powerlogic is the cheapest.

ermm... if u really need help. i can help. but 1st u try ask and see if any of ur fren know about computers.

btw. no problem in open it. juz make sure u know how to close it.

my hometown here kinda small...
cant really find de case i want...

ha? what do u mean "cant really find the case i want"?

my hometown here dun have much pc shops...

erm... 65 to 75 without psu. with psu i think is 90 like that.



yup. cant even find cooler master fan if u wan to know.

huh..so cheap...can pakai de ma...later boom le...
haha!dun really trust cheap things...
cap ayam kan...

casing no worries. it juz to protect u from the parts in side. cant say cap ayam also(not good not bad). i am using it also. build is ok. but not as good as ur acer.
to buy it or not... that depends if u really like it or not. if dun like it or dun need it. better dun buy. waaste money coz later changing again

This post has been edited by tjay_tj: Mar 11 2009, 07:40 PM

haha...its kinda cheap..maybe i'll go grab 1 at shop...

the build is ok as i say b4, simple. the steal is 0.6mm think ( or is 0.4 )

well is u really wan the clear case.
i found these.

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/552653

he is a respectable/safe trader. chances of conning nearly nil as he will lost his reputation and these cost him alot.
so i think it is safe.

oh..my sis studying in inti!!!
i can ask her 2 help me buy there...

i used to like transparent casing until i saw than it was becoming more and more common(i build one transparent casing[what a geek]).

This post has been edited by tjay_tj: Mar 11 2009, 10:02 PM

why dont u juz mod ur acer casing? i think i havent see any modder here mod brand-pc's case

then having acer cant mod casing mer?
any problem with it?
if got then i'll stop doin it...

he is asking u to mod the stock casing u have.

how 2 mod wor...

that is the thing i ask her to do, but she told that she did't found the case she want and her place doesnt have much computer shop.

there's a lot of things u can do.

1- make a side panel window and put 1 or even 2 120mm fan(s)
2- make a top panel window and put at least 1 80mm fan.
3- spray the interior or even exterior to other colour.

there's a lot of guide on "how to make it" on the internet..and many forumer giving their idea to you on how u should mod ur case.
it just either u have guts to do it or not.
If not, "then stop doing it", that simple.

btw, i like to see on ur case mod progress. if u really wanna do it.

this is my original cpu casing from acer....








any suggestion?

this is what i do wif my iCute case..


and this what i do with my CM690

there written ATX-250 PA (1)

wats tat mean?

This post has been edited by SharingBeat: Mar 12 2009, 04:09 PM

i think that is the power supply or what so ever not important to use...

capture some picture of the inside case.

and also becareful when using power tools. dangerous

about the sumbeam casing. suitable or not we will know after we see the picture of the inside hardware

here...got this 2 pictures only..

hmmm... i think is a matx foam factor.
should be able to fix it in the sumbeam

sure or not...
u think only wor...
not 100% wor..
haha..later buy liao waste money
anyway wat is matx foam factor?
