Case Mod - In Progress Gigi's decent micro no-window mod - final photos !!

Very nice and clean looking case, i love the paint job and the psu/top panel gives the case a more interesting look.

 

i tried that (2000 sandpaper under water) but the result was worse



comparsion with SILVERSTONE Sugo
(dimensions: 200x360x312 mm)





and new gpu cooler




probably I will move hdd to other place

 

Thats awesome dude, problem is, i look at it and think watercooling, could just about get a 120.2 in the front

 

^^are you kidding? that's a solid front.

great job on the case, it looks really slick. nice cables in that last pic, too.

 

Replace the gigi bit with fine mesh, that would be awesome.

 

some minor updates

new fan for psu (now running at 800rpm)


hdd moved to vertical for better airflow for graphic card
(wrong orientation of fan in picture was repaired - in this way fan would be blowing air from psu down)



baby got new feet





thats all my friends, see ya at next case mod/case build

 

Nice, very neat and clean

 

Really nice mod, nice and small. I really like those sidepanels, Mustangs rule. Where did you get that sticker on the sidepannel?

 

ah man that's so class looking case, how'd you get such a good finish on the side panels? sanded down or something else on them?

 

Pretty damn good looking mod, dude!

The only thing i dont like about this is the loss of light you have on the bottom. Maybe you should consider masking the bottom of the front panel? Should be an easy fix.

Can you please elaborate a bit on the cooling switch you placed in the back, and how you did it? I'm really interested in doing that too

 

dang thats nice

 

my best friend work as car painter, so he did this for me (profi tools, skils etc and you got this )
layers: primer - sanded - primer - sanded - white - sanded - orange - sanded - orange + pearl - polished - sticker - clearcoat - polished - clearcoat - matt black stripe

on deviantart.com from one user, I take his picture, trasfered it to black and white, then to vectors and in advertisement company they cut it from sheet of sticker

yeah fixing that leaking light would be easy, but i like it leaking

if you mean that switch on the psu: the original fan was little too noisy for me (1200rpm at 120mm) and so I install a switch.
1.position= fan at 3,3V (550rpm?) for movies etc.. realy quiet
2.position= fan at original thermo controled circuit for games etc..

now I changed the fan for nexus and regulated the rpms to 750, so its quiet in nights and powerfull enough for games.

(don't thing I am just trying luck, my psu is Fortron GLN 350w, power consumption of my rig is about 200w at full load, the gln in name of psu means high effectivity = less heat, many gln users has fan at 3,3v all the time without problems)


I am satisfied about the noise now:
hdd - silented
cpu - 450rpm at idle (windows, movies), thermo controled
psu - 750rpm - nexus
gpu - pasiv

 

Really is an awesome little case

 

lol, well, it's your case i guess

Yup, that's the trick i mean. The problem is that i am a n00b, and would like to know how to wire that.

And spending that much expertise on a paintjob for the case is just cheating! How are us mortals ever going to be happy with our own spraypaint work now?

 

OMG! It is amazing - what kind of filler did you use to make front sooo smooth??? Looks like one piece!

 

What did you use to go from the black and white picture to the vector picture. Did you use a program?

 

lol, this thread is from back in november. He updates it we some new casefeet and we start bombing the guy with questions about everything else

 

yes I know, but I did some paints before by my self with spray in my hand too, and it was much more satisfying

(my old modifed keyboard+mouse+graphic+audio 2PC switch with custom paint job and lighted VU meters)



but when you have a friend (with airgun and acces to metallic, pearlescent,...) try to say no

last version of corelDRAW (demo is aviable) is pretty automatic in converting to vector, I made just some final tuning

 

Beautiful! Love it! Can I haz it pliz?

 

Send your friend to me with the same offer, i'll let you know if i could resist
