Here's part 2 of this case mod: • Finishing the InWin 30...
This mod took me quite a bit of time, and included some things I've never tried before. The PSU shroud backlit decal is one of the things, and I was able to power it by attaching the LED strip to a series of adapters and then to the PSU. The fan LEDs on the front are controlled by a physical controller instead of software, so I was able to make them red to match the theme without actually having a PC built inside yet. I do suggest buying these fans by the way, they're awesome. At the end you can see me struggling with the fan hole alignment, but it ended up being an easy fix. Figuring out how to fix mistakes is good experience so I'm alright with making one now and then.

love it! Absolutly amazing No wonder your channel is growing so quick! Just a few months ago you were at just 200 subs! now you alredy got 7,1k subs keep going and one day you will have a million!
+Ecla I love you.
Bro i was thinking of cutting holes in my case and then i went to go find videos and i saw this. I'm glad you did it and now i'm just gonna buy a new case it's been long enough and this is way too much for me.
Fun fact PC Modding came about from guys modding there PC cases to fit radiators so they could better cool there hardware and get better performance as we're now it's more artistic and aesthetic reasons than performance. Cool Mod, you're getting better and better with each build.
I can't tell you how many times I was screaming at the screen because of the amount of times you nearly hurt yourself but all in all a very very nice case mod
Tony Stanford I like to live dangerously. I also never test the water temperature before I jump in the shower.
LMFAO
damn the stuff you do is amazing! keep it up bud
Great work, as always! You're constantly giving me too many ideas... i don't need it... i don't need it....
I NEED IT!!!!!
That was a painful way to paint, but the result is goddamn amazing, good job mate!
Phenomenal work! Totally got your process locked-down.
great mod guy (I especially love the red inwin logo into the power supply shroud)
there just these grey color that reminds me like... an RGB 2003 computer xD
Well done. With each new project I see progress. :)
You surpassed yourself with this build ! Congrats !
Beautiful colors and work!
This is such a nice mod man! Would have gone with orange and grey myself but each to their own i guess :)
This is what 301 should be instead of being completely restricted of air
Finally, I can see you again man. That's so amazing.
Well on the outside, but for me it is also important the aesthetics inside.
good work only tip square your holes first so that they are even all the way around
I just use a hole saw now :P
Still watching this 80th times :) keep it up :)
Nice man just clean work
Looks really nice man.
I have to say if you buy your RGB/RGBW LED kits separately and often from China they are way cheaper. We are talking 16.5 feet for like $5-$10. And the RGB/RGBW controller with remote is usually $2-$5. All depends if you want to just go RGB or RGBW. You can use 22AWG wire to chain the strips or its even easier to buy the 4 wire/5 wire RGB/RGBW bulk bundles.
Buy some cheap Male Sata adapters like $1 and snip off the other connector whatever it is. Then solder the RGB into the 12V and Grnd cables. Useful just to get rid of using the Molex PSU cables.
And once you make your own cables you can even fabricate a connector for the GPU fan power plug to get power to the LED's if you want to include some nice RGB magic on your custom black plates and dont feel like hiding cables. Its easier if you don't make a splitter but it voids warranties so worth the hassle.
+JimmysTheBestCop I definitely do need to learn how to do this stuff, everything here is useful. If you don't mind, is there a more detailed guide somewhere on the internet for the GPU power plug trick? Message me on Instagram or something so I can pick your brain a bit more :)
I haven't seen a guide of course I also haven't looked haha. BUt you can buy something like this
www.moddiy.com/products/Mini-4%252dPin-GPU-%28Female%29-to-Mini-4%252dPin-GPU-%28Male%29-%7B47%7D-4%252dPin-Fan-%28Male%29-Cable-Splitter.html
Then you can custom chop the cables to get it to the length you need. We've taken old male/female headers off of old worthless cards. Some gpus are 5 pins but moddiy has them as well. Not sure if they just sell the male/female headers
I'm sure something can be rigged off of the 6/8 pin pcie connector and funneled through the card to the backplate. Now that I have never tried. But it perhaps is the easiest. pcei connectors are pretty cheap and easy to find. You would probably just need to slip in a 22awg wire to the 12v and grnd wires on the pcie plug.
What is that rubber called with spacing middle you used at the fan holes?
Excellent work! I seem very interested in the openings in the front for my IN WIN 301 that arrives today (good timing). Is it possible to do that without taking taking everything apart?? I wish I could go with the 4.5" hole saw as suggested in the comments. Thanks for your help and thanks for the video!!
+VenezuelaOpenSource Yeah you can use a hole saw without taking it apart, you'll need to unscrew some of the parts but you don't need a rivet gun
Greetings,
I have got InWin 309 case and I'm trying to paint it white because it is black. Are you able to help me sort out what paint I should use? I would appreciate it!
Nice Mod!
Could you cover what is needed to do the stencil decals?
+drekoll Silhouette portrait is what I use to print vinyl decals :)
Cool thank you :)
hey dietech, can you do a budget mod where you take a cheap case and only use basic tools? i think that would be really interesting :)
+Craim At some point I could try something like that
Dont do that, he will copy haha of course.
Well ya that’s why he’s asking?
I wish the inwin 301 had the fan cutouts like you did in the case mod. 10/10 for you man love the build.👌🏻👍Any chance you are selling the case?
+The Adventures of Qweb Not for sale, as of now I only do commissions. But thanks man I appreciate it :)
bit of a late comment but i have the normal case would i still install install intake fans in the same place because i keep thinking it wouldnt work because its going straight into the metal
that's like installing windows on mac i love it looks great :D
good job! you improved a lot keep up the goodwork you'll be successful one day :)
great compose and great video, thank you for great job... luv it...
very very nice, I Like this case
Can the stock IN WIN logo in front be rotated the other way?
Great video! I'm thinking of modding myself but I'm concerned as to whether I could remove the PSU shroud or not. Do you think that would sacrifice case rigidity? Do I need special tools to remove it? Thanks in advance!
I don't know about rigidity but all you'd need is a drill and a 1/8" bit
This Is awesome. I have a Lian Li 205m. I would like to design something for the front panel I wish you guys took orders!
u r such a genius, bro !!!!!!
+Spencer Hu No you are!
That color sheme reminds me of the old spaceships from the original Elite-game. The smal pink & grey ships.
fantastic job!
Projects like these make me believe that some manufacturers make some designing decisions from their butt holes instead of brain :D
Awesome man
that case looks freaking awesome! I have the inwin 303 if you can manage to get your hands on it I reckon you could do some awesome stuff with it as well
Gut gemacht 👍 👏
Can you try making front fan covers with transparent glass with holes in them?
Erik Kononov Eeeeh that would look kinda weird I think
That was sick man
great job
It seems like you can even build your own pc case.
Nice job.
nice paint job :)
And ab-so-lute beauty!!
+DietecIs it possible to replace the red LED that lights up the front IO with an RGB one?
+Ra Spieler There is a new version of this case coming out at some point soon that'll have an RGB front I/O
Dietec i know, but i can't wait and i'd like to safe some money
so do you think it's possible?
good job bro
Dietec what the name of the drill you use
It's just some random wireless one my dad had. Nothing special, I don't know what it is specifically
Cool! Super Cool!
We want more videos!
+GoopgaGaming Editing one right now :)
Maybe remove the stickers on the fans? Other then that i think you did a good job.
+Jonny Eh, I kinda like them. Shrug
Serious question, where did you get that molding you used on the fan cutouts? What is it called?

Dietec there's even led trimming some youtuber used on a wooden PC case but, I don't remember what youtuber it was
Thanks!
a different selection of music that wasn't so distracting probably wouldve been nice
any tips on stencils and painting location? I wanted to mangapodge my PC case but the finish was terrible because my only options was to paint on newspaper on grass, bark or dirt in my backyard... can you please give me some educated tips on how I can spray like a pro...
Haha dude I'm definitely not a great painter. But, I guess my best tip would be to take it slow. Many light coats, let it dry for 24+ hours, clear coat it.
Dietec how long should I wait between coats? also I only have 3 different places to choose from because I don't want to over spray and hit something I don't want painted like tile, concrete walls, etc. so would panting on top of dirt with newspaper or plywood on top be good for painting? I don't want dust or dirt to get into my finish but, can't paint in a garage...
Recoat times are different depending on what paint you use. For the paint I use, I only wait like a minute or two between thin coats. I do like 3 or 4 thin coats and then a clear coat. I only wait a minute or two before I apply the clear coat as well. It doesn't matter what you spray on top of, you just have to sand the factory finish off then wipe all dust off with water. Wait a few minutes for it to dry first and make sure there's no wind blowing anything onto your paint job. I guess you'd just have to wait for a not windy day
Dietec thanks. you are a huge help and I wish you luck on your PC modding endeavors
custom loop in this case please!
WTF Are you kidding me> It's so beautifull , i love you so much !~!~
Sick!
genius!
SEE it take it love it
120mm or 140mm hole saws are so much easier.
yessssssss this is the kind of porn I'm digging, looking superb, I'll cheat in a line full of people or exam to get that mod, can't wait for the part 2 gonna look awesome if you manage to match honeycomb colors and shapes within the parts, Cheers!
めっちゃかっこいいじゃん！
lovely!!!!
Rgb backplate?
+Kn0x1s I am diving head first into backlighting everything right now so it's only a matter of time before I do a backplate :)
Please make Diablo 2 themed PC case
Thats how the case should come stock
how can i make Vinyl Decal Sticker for myself?
I' m so hyped for this case, can' t wait to see it in Europe!
It's already in Europe. I bought mine in the beginning of June.
hows ventilation
Very nicely done man. If I could offer one tip? A 4.5 inch hole saw is the perfect size for 120mm fans.
CyberDen Systems I'll have to pick one up I guess
i was going to say the same thing. Hole saws can work on metal and sometimes acrylic (melting may occur), but it's an "easier" way to get a hole in that will stay round.
+Middle of Knowhere My co-worker is giving me one of his extra ones :)
Awesome. Let me know how it works. If you ever get a drill press or just really steady hands and a workbench to clamp your materials down Harbor Freight offers a circle cutting bit.I bought one, and it did the job with a handheld, but really I think belongs in a press where the acrylic is really clamped down and the bit is more steady. www.harborfreight.com/carbide-tip-adjustable-circle-cutter-68117.html
Dietec score!!
Impressive. The build and the editing. SUB'D!!!
When is your next video? :D Keep it up!
where to get that black rubber band to round the hole, i checked all my local shops and didnt find. Could somebody help me pls.
same
sick case mod mate you put there original design to shame. keep up the mods :)
Man, discovered your channel half and hour ago and I'm a big fan already! Really great job!
+Bruno Turcatti Welcome to the channel :)
Вот, насверлил отверстий под вентиляторы, а то понаделают глухих панелей в современных корпусах, и ХЗ как все охлаждать. Правильный прикладной моддинг, и красиво и функционально.
+
Я не понимаю этого мазохизма, корпус же новый и не сказать что имеет хоть какие-то выгоды на фоне остальных что бы его специально под переделку покупать... Как бы не дешевая офисная коробка, под свои задачи...
@@DmitroMos, конкретно в этом случае это моддинг ради моддинг, но я про сам принцип. Просто куча современных корпусов таких, люди купят, а потом выясняется это продува то не хватает.
hi! 4x2gb ddr2 800 ram + phenom ıı x4 965 + gtx 750ti. can you recommend this system?BIOS and update issue?This system is suitable for 2019???
I know old video, but are you still running this case? The two opened fans up front HAVE to have made a HUGE differance in the cooling.
I mean, your mods are cool, but you could step up that paint job and filing quality. Aside from that, it looks awesome and I'm actually planning to mod my own 301 for a more ventilated front panel.
Fucked up guy. What the hell on the front panel do you have? You live in a normal country, not in Africa or Brazil. Find the plastic chrome rings on the front panel in the building market, and cover the holes for the fans, place them on top as overlays. I tried so much, but in front I got complete crap.
This is insane, I watched your painting videos randomly with the intention of painting a new 301 case, then google 301 mods and find this one. Sub'd man, this is some good stuff.
Does the Logo LED change colors?
You just smashed the whole idea of that case, really hurts to see you destroy art. Its became really ugly.
this is so cool! im about to mod my first case and also cut out holes in the front for fans. can someone please tell me what the rubber strips he is putting on the holes at the 7:00 mark? This would make the cutouts look much better, thanks!
Extremely annoying music, but great mod, thank you.
man that turned out pretty sweet :0 I wish I had the same skills XD
Great mod, looks amazing! I have an Inwin 303 I wanted to mod similarly as well. especially the dual front 120mm fans. I like how yours turned out so I'll give mine a shot later this year.
+Xavier c Good, send me pictures if you end up doing it!
Dietec For sure!
Over all I like it, but the area around the in win logo inside the case looks pretty bad. It could have just used some sanding to made it look better.
Looks good the only thing I didnt like was the paint job on the black it didnt look even on the psu cover or what ever it was
late comment....Don't know if there is any money in this, but a career in auto mods awaits...
Nice case ..almost went with one of these due to the lack of itx ryzen boards . InWin has upped its game and nice to see someone take the time to dress it up whilst everyone else is loading 8 different sw pkg to control a legion of led products then shoving in a AIO (now they lite up too)..
Curious what you would do on Lian Li aluminium case like the PC-A05FNB or its silver sister PC-A05FNA .
If you do get into some aluminum case modding ..their exist some nice 'hole punches' for aluminum that will make a clean cut with out distorting the case .. I don't know what they are called exactly
+Jim Cash Hey nothing wrong with super flashy computers! But building the stuff yourself will always be cooler than buying prefab parts and throwing them together. I'm not too sure what I'd do with aluminum but I do prefer working on metal cases over plastic ones, perhaps one day I'll get my hands on one of those cases and see what happens. And I do need to learn about tools that make things easier, I'm getting pretty invested in modding now so anything that makes me more efficient is great. I will look into the hole punch tools
but good job you can do it way better mod a cool looking case like the phanteks p400 s
God damn dude. Was so keen to watch this but that music is brain meltingly bad.
what is the name of the thing with which you made the hexagons? By the way it turned out really cool
7:39 ewwwww the paint job was so shit, i would have gotten a refund if my shit ended up like that
You can work with addressable led stip..those are more cool
Do you make any mod to mount the Power Supply?, because in the website of In-Win the max Power Supply size is 160mm and yours is 180mm.
Nope, it worked without any mods
