MKmods..Hogans Case.

[MKmods]

actually I started with a dremel but because the panel is thicker the wheels wore out too fast. So I used the tin snips. You can actually make good cuts with them (an I have a set more than 30 years old still cutting)

oh my god another project, hope this is as awesome as the other one

 

[MKmods]

Thanks all so far for the kind words, and to Azazel, I am always more fussy when I build for others.

ok here is a shot of the alum mobo tray and DVD/hdd rack

This is gonna be quite a bit easier to service the Hdds as Hogan wanted a case that was easier to swap parts in.
Another thing is I extended the DVD/HDD rack to hide the wiring of the DVD and allow more room for Hdds and Front fan.

Another thing is notice the bevel of the alum mobo tray? Its a small scoop to direct a bit of the front fan to cool the back side of the mobo tray.

Lookin Good MK.... Lookin Good!

wait till you see how I have the Hdds, pretty nice mounting. I am working on the upper 120mm face fan mount right now.

 

[Spacegoast]

case is lookin good mark! subscribed

 

[intel igent]

the perforated backplate and drive bay really give the case a cool look! a nice contrast

i patiently waiting for the next update

 

[MKmods]

Thanks Intel and Space..
Here is a shot showing behind the mobo tray, good cooling for the Hdds, plenty of room for 38mm fans and easy as heck to wire up and switch out the Hdds.

This mount is pretty cool as it is attached by screws (Rosewill case was riveted, harder to remove)

I am kind of fussy about cooling Hdds (they seem to last quite a bit longer)

MK.. have you ever done a flipped case? like some LIAN LI's are with the board upside down.

 

[Spacegoast]

so how exactly is that HDD mounted? looks pretty cool

MK.. have you ever done a flipped case? like some LIAN LI's are with the board upside down.

I built a mod for an Antec mod contest using one of their Atlas server cases and flipped the heck out of it

so how exactly is that HDD mounted? looks pretty cool

I have the Hdds mounted sideways under the DVD. They sit in O-Ring mounts to cut down on noise.

Gotta love worklogs. Nice work so far MK

 

[intel igent]

i like how you designed and incorporated the HDD rack into the mobo tray very slick

i was thinking about doing that (atlas srver mod) to my case (plusview1000) the first time i modded it but there wasnt much inspiration those days and i wasnt as "evolved" as i am now

 

[MKmods]

Im noty so "artsy fartsy" but here is a vent I cut for Hogan. I will paint it green (as close to AMD green as possible.
here it is in Perforated alum

Here it is in modders mesh

Which one do you all like better?

 

[King Wookie]

It's a real joy to watch a master at work.

I'm definitely subscribed!

 

[sneekypeet]

if there is a fan(green LED?) under the logo i say mesh....if not the Aluminuim will look better painted I think!

 

[MKmods]

Here is a shot of the front (good airflow is #1 on this mod)

Im thinking black for the mesh and green for the silver trim piece

 

[Silverel]

Modders Mesh looks better...

Had an idea for something like that etched into plexi for the inside of my case. Kinda like an old school CPU shroud from back in the slocket days.

 

[panchoman]

whoa dude.. every one of your modes is freaking awesome.

 

[MKmods]

thanks pancho.

 

[DanishDevil]

The second one for sure with the blowhole. Amazing stuff man. That front panel looks so perfectly integrated

amd ftw sweet

 

[panchoman]

thanks pancho.

thanks for what? you absolutely deserve it, and its a true fact that every mod i've seen come from you is just crazy awesome! also i think modders mesh looks better and gives better airflow the perforated aluminium.

 

[BrooksyX]

lookin pretty sweet man.
