Default Aopen HX08 Full Tower mod

This is my third (3) case mod so far...
done 2 other case before this one but nothing special about it i just cut the side panel & put an plexiglass window & some fan & light.

but now it's my third one so i decide to do a bit more work ... i didn't want to be special realy just having a better look then all the other ones i did before.

Anyhow it's a nice full tower case that my cousin give to me , he found it in the garbage next to hes street corner , he call me the same night to tell me this & if i wanted to go at his place & pick it up wich i did gladly.


i done most of the work on it drilling the 80 mm fan holes , painting etc.. but for my side panel & the inside frame where the cables & wires will go true (to be idden from view) i ask one of my friend who he's an welder to cut my pieces wich he did & did a nice job to , he use plasma torch (i think?)

i use an 1/2 inch makita drill to cut my 80 mm fan hole & let me tell you that drill is realy , realy strong.





anyhow my case is going to be orange fluorescent inside & all exterior is giong to be black & a bit of some crome.

it's not finish yet but soon it will be here are some pics of it so far...


P.S. I've resize the pictures with paint & use my mouse to write on the pictures so that why the writing looks like it does PRETTY DAMN HARD TO WRITE WITH A MOUSE lol!

Thx! it wont be to fansy just good looking lol!

one thing i didn't want to do is an 80 mm hole in front to me that doen't look nice (but that is only me) so that is why i'm cutting the front in an rectangular shape , i'm going to clue some kind of an grill in the inside back maybe some mosquito net ? it wil do a nice filter at same time.

I change my psu i had an cheap 550w so i bought a bit better quality psu it's only a 450w but still better then my old 550w
it's heavy & gold plated i like it but the fans are a bit noisy.

I also bought 2 more antec red light fans (wich i will mod later on this week & you'll see why)
