Been thinking about this project for a long time...so decided to move my lazy ass to do something about it...Its going to be a black and red theme for this rig...So bear with me cos this project may drag for a few months...

Spec:

CPU + Mobo= AMD P2 X3-720 + DFI LP DK790FXB-M2RSH
Ram= DDR2-800 Kingston HypperX 4Gb kit
GFX= Palit HD4870 Sonic 1Gb
DVD combo= Sony 22x SATA
Casing= CM690 Pure
PSU= CM Real Power M620

D Day...

Got my hands on the CM690 Pure...lazy to spray paint the normal version..Nice packaging though..

Unpacking it..

A look inside..

Close look on paint job...nice!...

Tearing her apart!...

Using the Carrefour + heavy duty cutter to cut out the mesh..

After cutting and filing...

D Day + 1

Going to ask for Gary's help for the cutting of the side panel...

Top exhaust fans to be cut by me..

Done..Going to touch up the edges with black paint marker..

The back of the CPU...for easy installation o aftermarket CPU cooler..

Red and black theme...so these have to go..

Thanx a lot bro really appreciate it. Great unisleeving job and do take your time to sleeve the cables as those premium quality sleeves aren't cheap. Waiting to see sleeved sata cables next

Wow bro, sleeves very nicely done i must say!

Does the MurderMod ATX pin removal really work well on all type of plugs? even for the SilverStone 24pin ATX female section of the extension?
