So first of all I gotta say this is my first project I've done in casemodding . I went to college to study IT ( Info Technology ) . I'm so into my PC at the moment I decided to mod it's case . So this is the case I had before :

I'm gonna turn it into light neon pink with light blue neons . Gonna add a Chinese letter to the left side of the case . I'm so excited to get this piece done .

I'm gonna keep everyone updated what I'm up to so far . :] This is gonna take me awhile , even for the smaller parts of the project . I'm busy with college , work and life . ^_^

DAY 1 :

I stripped it's case from everything I could get off from basic view . Took me some time to figure out how the front panel could be removed . :facepalm:

Removed front & side panel .

Stripped it's case from inside . Had some time figuring out how the HDD panel could be removed , tried to use brute force but it didn't move . Then I found this little button I had to press . >_<

DAY 2 :

Right after the school I went to the store and bought some white spray paint .

I sandpapered my case with a 1500x sandpaper . Was quite sunny outside so I took my case and spray paints and laid the bottom layer of color for the neon light pink to show up more smexier . I had it dry for 10 minutes and sandpapered it with 2000x sandpaper .

Next I went to some weird ass yarn store and bought some very light pinkish yarn .

The yarn I bought yesterday was needed for me to coil it around the wires inside the case . Power supply , motherboard , fans and so on . It looks soooo hawt . Gonna post a picture once I strip my PC case again .

DAY 4 :

Took the green thing above , seems ugly n sloppy but it did it's job perfectly , and drilled in a big-ass hole to the right side of the case .

DAY 5 :

Went to the store and bought a new fan I installed on top of the case and the covering for it .

Now with the covering :

The black thing will be painted white or either light neon pink , haven't decided yet . :]
