Just to post up some of my old rig that I spent countless time and serious cash. So this was my first system that mod which I gave a project name Praetorian Storm and one of the boldest modding I done is the graphic card. Having to draw ultra violet ink on the PVC board of my graphic card is seriously dangerous as any wrong move will cause my entire system *KABOOM* yet I manage to get it done without any problem.

This system already obsolete as the graphic card long time been sold, motherboard gone case, HDD ended up as an external storage, casing let my dad to use on his system and other parts just keep in almost like a pile of junk. It was great get to mod and create something different from other people as part of my hobby but now I just don't have the time to mod and basically financially tight to get new hardware yet I'm sure one fine day I will start modding again as my buddy is eager to see me back in action again~

For now all I have is just a Download Station System which its on 24/7 to download all sorts of data which I might post up the casing I'm currently using and really limited modding is done on it but still looks cool due to its simplicity and efficient cooling performance.

New laptop sticker

new_laptop_stickerI actually finish my new laptop design for quite sometime but then now only i manage to blog still better than not blogging at all…

Since my previous sticker design has fade away after 1 year of torture by me so i decide to change it after i manage to order a better quality of carbon fiber and silver brush chrome sticker. The sad thing is my phone camera quality is not so good so the overall image is quite blur so its quite hard to see how nice from the image but from the middle picture at least can notice a little on how the carbon fiber sticker look like.

After countless of hours designing and cutting whereby the hardest part was combining both carbon fiber and silver brush chrome together and sticking it on the laptop cover. I had to accurately and slowly place the sticker as a slightest mistake will cause the design look very crooked and the big ‘X’ will look weird also. In the end i manage to get this done and hopefully it will last longer and overall the design really superb! and it would be nice to see it with our own eyes.

GT3 OS (Storm Edition)

gt3_os_storm_edition

Finally i’m done with one of my project which its a complete change on my laptop theme! This is my second theme that i use which its a complete upgrade version of the previous GT3 from WindowsBlind. To complete this theme it really took me 72 hour non-stop on editing the design which GT3 OS are design by Tiggz and the side panel which i made myself and some part are taken from the Sysmetrix skin which are also done by Tiggz as well. This version has a major improvement and its hard to describe it so the best way to find out is find me and see it yourself on this wonderful theme and skin i done. For now back to the main project and hopefully i still have time to complete it as classes will start soon….
