Let's go for the "Bat Ô Fou".

Today, short day. I first decided to rest a bit before attacking. So, not a lot DIY but a minimum is required.


First step, remove the elements out of the case.



And, today, I decided to start with:

PSU cover

For sure, for this DIY, the "Team Bat Ô Fou" is here to give a precious hand.




But, who is this new Tinkerbell (Flora). Where is the smaller ? The smaller was just an alternative before receiving the official.


So, let's mod...


And as always when I do some work, I have a fan




Cutting, folding...and PatBat shows us his work



And in the case, to see... the present PSU is not the final PSU (BeQuiet Power Zone). It's just for the test.

Cutting the front part of the cover:




The two elements will be fix together later.
This cover need a "Bat Ô Fou" touch...




To be continued... More than a PC, a Passion

Looking good! I really like PSU covers. That's one of the mods that came up in the past year, that just makes everything look a little bit better!

Very nice!

This morning, having my breakfast, I heard a noise from the garage...Good surprise !!

"Take the pic quickly, and we cnotinue the work. He'll have a good surprise"

" Smile !!"

"Already at work !!"



It's a real good day to DIY







Now, have to cut. Let the "Team" do the job...

"The pro of the grinder is here. Make space"


"No, no, no. This time we use good stuff. I'm equiped for this kind of DIY"



For chance, I have discs in stock




Main cut finished




It's your turn Ladies

"Finished !! And now, what to do wtih this drawing ?"



And, lets' go for cutting...







Some little holes...




And test in the case

"This is called Teamwork. Babouk, you'll smooth the remaining"



*****************************

This morning, I received a package... who sent me a package ?



BeQuiet Shadow Wings 120mm PWM




BeQuiet Power Zone 850W Bronze









Big and great thanks to BeQuiet (francophone) for supporting me in this mod.

Nice I want to see what the cover plate looks like when there is backlight

Nice stuff!

Some progress on case.
Today, I'm on the top of the case.



Yes, the original top is beautiful, but it doesn't suit me for what I want to do.
Simple vents on the side, even if they are effective according H630 owners are too discreet for this mod.

And as to change the top of the case, I'll change the "Power" button (a little cheap) with a more modern button.



Where is the Team ? Some noise outside...

"What are you doing in the bowl of dog?
This is not a pool or jacuzzi.
No time to play. There is a job to do.
Everybody out."


Well, I've protected the plastic part of the top (the top is composed of two elements, one made of plastic and one made of steel).
Your turn to "play" Team.





They work well, the drawings are made ​​quickly, it looks like there will be a big hole. Strange, they even drew a round ...

"some magic gun, a little magic wand,
and voila"


I will also remove the insulation foam that will interfere with the cuts.




Let's work now.

"Go on MiniBat. Sure you can do it easily"



Later, MiniBat finished the work. Good job for a newbie




Now, have to do the steel part. Some drawings, like the plastic part.




And, GO !!




Let see the result






On the case. Do not forget to also cut the upper chassis, the continuity of other openings.
Without forgetting the part where will house the new button.




And, done.

"a very pretty hole
Be careful not to fall into"



The button fits perfectly.



Still grinding to do...later


Next step will be the side panel, where will be an opening, with plexi.
It's late, I'll just prepare the door, cuts will be tomorrow.
A little scotch tape ...




As in geometry class at school, I make a mark.



Now, it's time to draw.....OK, done...




Oh no !!! the picture is blurred. Have to wait until tomorrow to see a better photo.

To be continued... More than a PC, a Passion

As always, nicely done and fun to follow !

Today, I show you what I did with the side panel.


Team is off today, so I worked alone.


So to begin, the to do on the door





And no, this is not a simple Batman logo. I am sure that many of you thought that. Sorry to disappoint you.


Let's see what it looks like after wear some cutting discs





And without the masking tape





And there, looking at the pictures ... I realize that I forgot to cut the arc on the right wing .... I'll do it tomorrow before file down all these edges. More than a PC, a Passion

Very nice! Looks cool!
