i have a 12" one with a round edge, yeah i was wishing i had smaller ones too. but since budget is very very limited so poo for me. the nose pliers u see here are 40yrs old. its my dads. they are 21yrs older than me LOL



also there need to be a slight modification to the top exhaust. my new PSU is 1 cm longer, so what i will do is cut out a rectangle and attach a shroud thingy (there will be 3, one at front, back and middle). the fans will be mounted on the shroud. shroud will be made of aluminum 1mm thick.

I'm astonished that you bought new fans, weren't you the fan repair man? Just j/k. Nice thread btw. New pictures would be nice too, just make sure you make it to the end. This is some nice modding you are doing with that case with the tools you have at hand, BRAVO!

hmmm... you mean acrylic right?? yes, but i would have to find them. and they are hard to paint as i cant find adhesioner here in india.


also the fans would simple 50mm black ones. so nothing fancy to see. :p
I might, however put some slots in the fan mount and get some LEDs underneath. so far i have done the measurements for the mount only. 50mm x3 is a little bit cramped :p

you have a piece of aluminium. say you want to cut along a straight line.

you take a metal ruler, then draw a line with a sharpie knife / pen knife (whatever you like to call it)
the line must be deep enough to be felt by the finger.

then at the edge of the sheet, make a small cut into the line. now with a set of pliers, use this little piece and roll it in the way shown in the pic. result is the sheet will shear along the line.

works with new aluminium.

Have you thought about whether you plan to paint it afterwards? A black matte finish would be nice, especially having worked the metal so much. The interior too should be given some paint love, lets not make it a half assed job lol

im thinking of brush painting it with some black shiny coat, and finishing it with a sponge roller to get the original paint effect. it will hide any imperfections as well.


the white part of my bezel will be metallic blue. though i am having trouble securing a can of blue metallic spray paint here :(

Well if you go for shiny paint jobs, just make sure you sand it well and smooth before. It doesn't hide imperfections as you say well, cause of light reflections etc, you get the drill. Matte would have made your job a tad easier. (dunna what you really plan to do with the sponge roller, so I might be out of tune here)
