System Specs

yesterday i decided to use the case i paid a small fortune for, anyways here's the front all cut out and soldered
yes it needed soldering why ? because it rattled something terrible before i did ,yes it looks tatty
but if you look close you can see that the holes weren't straight ,infact all this case was a bit of a mess

here's a pic of the back minus them stupid grid holes smoothed out with a small dremel grinding bit

take note case manufacturers no one wants them in a case, put some proper metal guards in,
they make the air flow so much easier


anyway now i have that of my chest
here's a pic of the case mod i did (this is a hole i cut last year )
i used the original hole from my old 425 watt power pack as a template with a dremel type grinding tool to get a nice smooth perfect circle not bad for my first case mod ey the circuit pictured is from the speed controller which has a little push to make switch on the top to change it's speed, it has a white switch cap that should have been red, but that must have gone up the hoover

top view of case with extra fan switches

(shame the case is so rubbish)

well it would have been finished today, but for the fact there wasn't enough airflow going through the side hard drive cooler pictured (the fan is on hinges )so i need to do some more drilling
yes there's a bit of gammy tape stuck there which held the fan in as i broke the clip that was originally there
