Hey guys,
I'm planning to do a complete case modding, well actually I started already and when I thought of my next step I saw my old ugly cardboard taped shroud, here this is the old one:

Then I realized I can't get this case to look nice with this thing, so I started making a new shroud again from cardboard. Here are some pics that can describe the process:

- Cutting the cardboard into the pieces I need.

- Cutting a hole for a 120mm fan.

- Gluing the pieces togther with hot glue gun.

- Painting the shourd black, the color of the core.

This is how it looks now, after glued and air sealed with hot glue:
