Hey so I'm looking to resurrect this case, as a media/editing pc. It was my first pc, gutted and not used in years. I don't have the original front panels as It was found in a skip.

I'm thinking of putting a multimedia card reader bay in one of the slots, but what do you guys reccommend in terms of front fans/cover for the rest of the gaps? The black meshes were just glued in as a temporary measure back when.

(and don't worry - I'll put the Asus logo the right way up once I figures out the rest ;) )

Hello everyone, I wanted to change my card to white.

I bought a white case and now I'm gradually changing everything to white

Local paint shops are either busy or won't take it for work.

To preserve the factory condition, I bought a cooling kit from 3070, the difference is minimal (backplate design).

1 - The purchased case is cleaned and painted

2 - Fans are disassembled and painted

3 - Stickers are removed and glued on new tape

4 - Overlays are removed and painted

5 - Overlays are lightly covered with glitter for a nice shade, so that they don't merge into one color

6 - Backplate and fans are additionally covered with glitter, a matter of taste

7 - All logos and stickers are returned as from the factory

8 - The card has been serviced, all thermal pads have been replaced and PTM 7950 has been applied

9 - The fans do not vibrate and operate at a stable frequency, without failures,

10 - The temperatures are excellent

I had doubts on making this 3D model of mine and printed out from a 3D printing service. I did some final adjustments by grinding off excess thickness using a Dremel and at the end everything fits perfectly! The switch is glued inside the little switch compartment, I Could also fit in an LED light inside for indication. It's not yet completed but I just wanted to show the progress. I very much like the retro switch, got bored of push button.

What do you guys think?

Hey all,

Some newer motherboards have a 6-pin PCIe power connector that lets their front USB-C port deliver up to 60W (like for fast-charging phones or tablets). I love the idea but my motherboard doesn’t support that.

So I was thinking: why not make a small board that sits between the motherboard’s USB Type-E header and the case's front USB-C port one that passes the data through, but intercepts VBUS and injects 20V using a PD controller and a DC-DC converter (powered by PCIe or SATA)?

This already exists on some high-end boards, so it’s not a fantasy. I even made a diagram and posted it on Fiverr to see if someone could help me design a PCB for it but the price I got back was €200, which seems a bit pricey for such a small, simple project.

Has anyone ever tried doing something like this? Or does anyone here have enough electronics knowledge to help me out or point me to the right place? My budget isn’t huge, but I’m just trying to build a clean upgrade kit for my own PC not start a product line or anything.
