SVC.com has these cheap $20 full-tower cases on clearance, so I picked on up to mount my GT360 rad internally. I thought I'd do my first worklog here, and share my ideas.
First, some before pics for you:
So my goals are this:
1. To open the case up to allow as much airflow as possible
2. To mount my GT360 in this case (not an easy task - I'll explain more later)
3. To try to do my first mod with a theme
4. Use some new techniques that I have not seen before
First mods are:
Adding a 120mm fan mount to the front of the case (replacing the puny 80mm restrcited hole there). Before:
After:
Next, you'll notice another puny 80mm mount on the top rear of the case:
Bye-bye:
And finally for today... Due to the slide-out feature of the motherboard tray, the only fan mount available is a 60mm mount. I don't have a 60mm fan, and the last I knew they were either under-powered or overly-loud:
good-bye to you as well:
The front 120mm fan hole will be left open, and the other two areas cut out today will be filled in with some modder's mesh.
