Arc Mini r2 case mod

[xzerqiin]

Summer is about to come and my system is still not ready for it.

The CPU and GPU is just too hot.

Now I've decided to change my AIO water cooling into a custom loop.

Took me a while to research (1 week) every part and the best priced ones in the online market. Sadly half of it will come from US and I live in Australia. Anyway I'm still keeping money so I'll put this on hold for 2-3 mos. before I start jacking my rig.

I have 1 question which i really need to push this mod plan. What should I use to cut the side panel of my case? as I look at it its probably around 1-2mm thick metal. I'm planning to make a hole there for 240mm rad exhaust. Any Ideas from the veteran experts? This is my first case modding, would like to hear from you.

Here is my mod plan. I think its nice when it becomes real. XD

Things just got better. I've just found a shop that sells acrylic and customization near where I live, I guess I wouldn't need to bother cutting my panel and just replace it. This will also be good for getting a customized box where I could hide my cables. Can't wait to get my pay check. XD

Now I just need to think of color. To repaint or not to repaint the interior color of my case.

My radiators are going to be white as frozenCPU only has white and I guess it looks awesome with white 1/2 OD tube and white 1/2" clamp. I currently have red LED and motherboard has red built in running light.
