I'll remove the fan to be fanless after, the time for me to make some test before.



I'm happy because the blue of the mb is almost the same blue of the ssd/ram HyperX

 

Looks nice

Looks like the SSD got some wheels

Yeah, i know. Let's just hope it doesn't drive too fast away

If the scratches are not too deep you can polish/ buff them out using toothpaste. The abrasive action polishes out the scratches from the old plastic Mac cases.

I used toothpaste to polish my iBook and it came out nice and shiny and only the deepest scratches remained

Other products such as glass polish or Brasso (metal polish) are also known to work, but perhaps test them on a scrap piece first.

 

Thanks for your advices, the products you mention above "glass polish or Brasso ", can I find them in a car shop ?
I will test this, but yet I'm not sure to really want conserve the original design of the case !

Will see !

 

Looks nice
