Project Alpha

Project Alpha

 

I've been a pc enthusiast for just about a year or so. Building a gaming rig was only my goal at that time. But as time/months passed by, my love for PC grew. That is the time when i was hooked up to modding. This will  be my first ever PC Mod. Right now, i'm in a foreign land and it is hard for me to grab all tools and materials to do modding since im still not familiar in this country. Anyways, I will stop this nonsense and proceed with my build log.   :D

hi guys, just a little update.

i was thinking of adding some acrylic for the design that needs bending. so did some experiment for the DIY bender.

here are some photos and sample bend.

some parts of the bend got burnt coz i place it too close to the heat. for a first time, i can say it is a success, needs more practice though. have a great weekend guys. :)
