Thanks for the welkamb. Well, yeah I hope to spread the case modding fever to the nice ppl here at techARP. I just loooooooooooove poisoning ppl.
Anyway, here's a small tiny update.




Here's sum toys I just got for King Kong II. Once again, thanks to my fabulous sponsor Silverstone.


It's a Silverstone MS02 external HDD enclosure. So niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. Made to the same exacting quality standards as all the SST casings. Full brushed aluminum n diamond cut edges. The blingest HDD enclosure I've ever seen. Absolutely perfect for sitting on my King Kong II workstation table. It even comes with 1 touch backup software. Perfect for backing up all my Worklog pics. Just "click" everytime I haf new pics in my PC n it's done.



Here comes the pix.


In the box.







Taking it out. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee, I just love the feeling of that super 1337 brushed aluminum. just look at the quality of the finish. Beautifuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuul.








The USB interface n 1 Touch button can be seen here.









Just look at that beautiful diamond cut edging. Loooooooooooooooovely. Who says diamonds are a girl's best friend? They're my best friend too.








Everything out of the box including the bundled stuff. Left to right:- Leather pouch, enclosure, 1 Touch Backup software CD, manual.








The pouch is so nice. Fits the enclosure nicely n it also comes with the USB wire tucked nicely in the elastic band thingy. Look closely at the USB wires n u'll notice it comes with 2 big USB heads. This is so u can plug into two USB ports to make sure u get the required juice to power up the HDD. This is to avoid the need for a 5V adapter like most enclosures.








Only got this to update to share with u guys for now. The KK II updates will come later. I'm frantically working on it now to make it ready for the PCmoddingmy LANparty on the 25th. Need to work fast. No time to edit pics yet.

I dunno how much it is. It's not available locally yet. The Silverstone bosses came over for a visit recently n generously gave me 1 unit. Inter Asia says it'll b available soon but dunno the price yet. But yeah, it's so so so nice. Made entirely of a single piece of extruded aluminum just like all the SST cases.

Wow! Can you sponsor me too? Maybe a PSU?

You must be EXTREMELY good at modding for them to fully sponsor you like that!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeee. I found sum time to edit pix today. Here we go with sum updates.


Here's the divider plate. I hafta line up the mobo tray support rail on the other side. This is so I can mark out the place to drill the 3 mounting holes.













After that, I bolted on the rail n mounted the mobo tray n voila! My BTX mod for the TJ07 is done.





View of the BTX mod from the back.









Remember how a stock TJ07's internals looks like? Here it is.










After flipping over the mobo tray to BTX style I hit a slight problem. Look at the triangular plate at the top right corner of the pic. That's gonna block the view n look ugly.










No problem. With a lil bit of Dremel lovin, it'll be nice n trim under that top window.
So I removed the mobo tray for sum cutting n here we are. A nice cut out so that it'll look good under the top window.







After cutting out the triangular plate at the top, I put the mobo tray back in and everything fits perfectly n looks nice now without that thing blocking the view.







Well, that's it for now folks. It's really late n King Kong needs his rest. We'll leave him alone so he can sit back n chill with his well deserved bunch of bananas.
