easy...rider Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Hi everyone! In my project I'm going to mod one Cooler Master Elite 341 Midi Tower. Final state: Gallery with bigger images Vote on me if you like it MORE IMAGES BELOW My config: Phenom II X2 @ X4 B55 @ 3800MHZ - 1,3500V Gigabyte GA-MA785GM US2H 2 x 2GB Kingmax DDR2 800MHZ MSI GTX 560 TI TwinFrozr @ 950MHZ - 1,000V Seagate 7200.12 1TB Scythe Ninja 2 Corsair VX450 In my project I will make (or finish) the following modifications: 1; Case mod - Window mod - Front panel mod - Full body paint - 3D Carbon vinyl cover - Sound and vibration absorbing - Light mod - Cable management - Move HDD to the second 5,25" slot - Remove the unnecessary HDD holders. 2; CPU cooler mod: - Lapping - Black painting - Carbon top cower 3; DVD drive paint I don't have many images of the original state of the parts, but I will try to show how many modifications I made. I tried to make useful, good looking, and top quality modifications. I hope you will see it First I introduce the parts, and then I will show one by one what modifications I made. The Original state: Mixed pictures of the moding phases: I made one little circuit to switch the leds. When the motherboard gives the signal, then this circulation is switch on between the leds and +5V. This is needed because the motherboard can't supply enough power for the leds. I could not connect the leds directly to the PSU, because then the red HDD leds would not blink (the are behind the on-off switch). And if there some hardware problem, then the motherboard gives a blinking signal to the green Power leds. It contains two PNP transistors (one HDD and one Power), and for resistor (two for the HDD and two for the Power). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaPang Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 It reminds me of the time I used an adhesive shelf paper liner (Contac) to cover an old rusting case--that was a really easymod. It lasted around 6 months and starting peeling off, hehe, nothing to do with today's new vinyls. Of course it was a "quick" fix before I knew anything about modding, including old paint and rust removal and a total dis-assembly of the case. It's a neat redo of the Elite and the vinyl makes a great difference in looks. Best of Luck! Cheers and Saludos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easy...rider Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Thank you guys! pcjunkie209 Its one Scythe Ninja 2 PaPang Please don't compare my chases to that rusty one. It was one difficult mod, and I made one full painting before applying the carbon vinyl. And it was difficult to apply especially at the corners.
