Modding that old Aopen HQ45 :: In progress
 

Vacation, time to mod :D
Few things that i'm going to do

- window in the side
- 2 80mm fans, prolly papst for low noise
- paint the case black :)
- put some lights in the case
- some other small things

Day 1
I deassembled the case


after doing that -> 'bijles' -> 3 hours maths :x

Day 2 - Let's start the madness

Today I wet-sanded and painted the case with a first layer of black paint, didn't use primer



prolly i'm going to buy this afternoon some plexi and paint

i'll keep you updated

pics don't show
they're there, but can't see them http://gorenbarry.babesplanet.be/day1/

anti-leech, fixed it :)

I have bought the same case. I'm planning to place a watercooling box under it.

just bought the plexi, tomorrow i'll make the window prolly + second layer off paint

day 2 :
less wind than yesterday
cut the plexi
no problems at the moment :)

Looking good.
I will have mine tomorrow :)

damn rain, can't go on with my project if it's 2 wet :(

My duron is installed in the case. I do not know yet if I will paint the case or not. It is not necessairy to install extra blowholes because the cputemp is relative good.

just paint it, looking awsome :)
snow delays the painting :grum:

midnight work! flashy red :o

irl it's really awsome flashy :D
i still have to cut out the window, don't really like that part
prolly i'll finish the mod next week if the snow is gone :p

common i want updates lol

I like
 

Nice mix of the red with the black on the bezel. Can't wait to see that window in place, soon I hope! looking very good thus far.

Some people just have the artistic talent. That little touch of red makes the difference. If I were going back to school, I think I would take a major in music.
