Side Panel MOD DONE.!!

[susman]

salam guyz
ok so here is how i did it


first of all masked the panel
then with pencil drew the sketch and then with a marker drew it
then went to a welder.
he cutted it with his spinning thing(disc)
then i can back
with a black marker painted small side which went silver...just a bit...
then with double sided tape lined the marks and then pushed the plastic to its limit so that it bonded well..
have to say the 4 sar(80 rs) tape is quite good

and remember to wash the side panel after it is cutted with ADIDAS SPORT ACTIVE SHOWER GEL which if expired better to give a clean look...
after the dirty hands of the welder..

TOTAL COST
12 sar for the glass 30x30cm 240rs
4 sar double sided tape 80rs
barbican lemon malt 2sar 40rs

and a lot of effort


here are some pix

more pix coming soon

You should've cut it a little more on the bottom to get rid of the holes. Do it now if you can. It'll give it a neater look.
And get rid of those tuti fruti fans and get some Blue led or red led fans.

 

[susman]

@lord it
will try to see if i can cut a bit more..
but the problem is that i wont have enough glass left then..
i am happy with what i what i have done..
and besides i have camaflouged it with blakc marker..
it really doest look that bad.....


as for the LED fans they are tri colour and yes i will try to give my whole computer a blue look..


p.s does the zip reactive uv ties will glow in neon tube which is blue?
