My New Computer (Case Modification)

My new PC(case modification)

Hey guys I just thought to post some pics of my new p.c.First of all I would like to thank shan4djfun for his help in this project,Sasika@Elakiri and zCexVe for all the advice they had given in their threads on case modification.

I got the case from tulip computers in unity and it cost me around 2800.These are not pics of the actual case but are from their display model. Here are some pics of the case before the mod.

http://i28.tinypic.com/24qvoeg.jpg
http://i28.tinypic.com/10qjiw1.jpg

The next step was to cut a hole in the side panel and a circular hole in the front panel.I got this done from a metal work shop near my house and it cost me around Rs600.
Here are some pics after the panels were cut.
http://i32.tinypic.com/fp3y1d.jpg
http://i29.tinypic.com/1zb3r7l.jpg

I decided to cover the side panel with Plexiglas and decorate the case with luminous green stickers.I brought both of these from Jeewa plastics for around a little over 1000k.
http://i27.tinypic.com/2cdzomw.jpg
http://i26.tinypic.com/2jz38y.jpg

To fix the Plexiglas to the side panel I decided to use 3M 4910 double sided tape.I got this from link enterprises and it cost me about Rs240 for 3 yards.
http://i31.tinypic.com/vzg6mw.jpg

In this mod I decided to use transparent cooling fans.You can get these from Pretec in unity.The 120mm fan will cost you around Rs750 and the 80mm fan will cost you about Rs250.
these fans come with LEDs but they they are rainbow colored so I decided to change them to to green LEDs.(I used apple green LEDs)
In the mod I used one 120mm fan as an exhaust and one 80mm fan as an intake.

I decided to cover the intake fan with a fan grill which I got from an electronic store in the 1st cross street in petta.
http://i31.tinypic.com/2yvqbsn.jpg

I used normal 1 inch and 1/2 inch nuts and bolts to fix the fans
http://i32.tinypic.com/2427qd3.jpg

Finally I got the stickers cut from a sticker cutting place near my house.This cost me around Rs300-400.

I also sprayed part of the plastic on the case to match the color of the stickers.(the green frame in the front of the case)

This is what the case looked like after the mod-

Yes that was my original plan but in this case the distance between the psu and the drive bay is too small so adding a fan on the top is a bit problematic.Hopefully I will be able to think up a remedy for this:)
Thanks for your comment.

Yes that is the main reason I choose green.:D
Yes machan I planned to add a green neon inside the case but ran out of funds.Hopefully I will be able to do this soon.

Machan the only place to stick the logo will be over the drive panels.I did not do this cause i am currently modding an old dvd drive(in green) to add here.Hopefully it will turn out well if not I will seriously consider your suggestion.
Thanks, your comments are always appreciated.

i think you can put two 80mm fans in that space 120mm might conflict with the drive bay
also where did you buy the fan grill and can ya state the price of that

[nadman]

Yes I must look into that.
I got the grill from petta from one of the shops on the first cross street.There are a lot of electronics shops there.

Jeewa plastics will not cut out the stickers.You will have to go and choose the type of sticker you want(yes I saw Chrome)and then go to a sticker cutting place to cut the stickers.
