[Amateur] Chembro Revamp Stealth Mod

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
Hay guys so iv been home for 2 months now and shall be returning to the states again in a month and needed a small project to keep myself busy, so my brothers pc is getting a small upgrade/ modding done to it. 1st of all i got a old chembro gaming bomb 2 case that looks ancient compared to the new cases of today, this pc build wont be anything special, my brother only has a dual core cpu and a geforce 550ti card. Im already half way through the build so their wont be many before pics but you will see what iv done so far. Please comment and suggestions are more than welcome. But take into consideration that im in South Africa and to get any type of modding equipment, eg sleeving,etc is near to impossible unless paying with your left arm or by ordering it from overseas which in my case i have a short time period to get this build done. So enough with that lets show you guys the build so far:

Original Chembro Gaming Bomb 2 Case:



As you can see its not much to work with, but it a solid case and has some potential.


Im about half way with the respray, iv gone ahead and sprayed it matt black to go with the stealth theme.

I tried doing some cable management but its hard without the cables sleeved.

Still have alot to do in the next few weeks with the build, im looking into a cpu cooler, new fans, some type of lighting [blue], Still have to spray the outside of the case, was thinking about maybe going for white, but il probably stick to matt black, also need to paint the clip for the 120mm fan at the back and i still need to mount the hdd bracket to the case and build a new front panel (dont like the orange chembro design)biggrin.gif

Will keep every1 updated as the build goes along and will get some better pics up tomorrow during the day.

Ok a small update guys, got hold of some paracord and heatshrink today and did a bit of sleeving, ran into one problem along the way that the heatshrink is to large and is not shrink enough so i going to have to pick up some more smaller shrink tomorrow but here's whats been done so far:



Here's a better pic of the paint job on the case.

:DHay everyone, here's another update.
[Sleeving]Ok so most of the sleeving has been done, just waiting for my 2nd order of paracord to arrive so i can sleeve the 24 pin adapter. otherwise everything on the sleeving side is done.
[Paint] So the case got another coat of matt black and finished with some clear coat, still have the drive caddy's to finish spraying. wasnt going to use them and was going to just use the hdd caddy but i couldnt find anything to mount one dvd drive by itself so im scrapping that idea and going with the large caddy and using it for the 2 3.5 hdds. Im still in the process of spraying the cover for the case, had to fill some rust holes on the back side, so i have to wait a day for the glue to dry.
