[Case Gallery] The Newcomer (WORK ABANDONED) getting ready to mod my CM690

[miloshs]

To view this case mod, go here.



Specs:
DFI Lanparty DK 790FX, AMD X2 6400+ BE,2x1GB OCZ Platinum PC6400, OCZ Game xStream 700W, Powercolor Radeon 3870 512MB GDDR4 - Zerotherm Cooler, Codegen Briza 6099 Case,Seagate 500GB 16MB...
The case came with 2x 80mm blue LED fans (crap), and one more 120mm CoolerMaster green LED fan was installed inside the case...

Mods:
The case side was cut on the side and the top.The cutout part was replaced with a 3mm plexiglass which were screwed on with hex screws.Since the case had preinstalled mesh to prevents dust buildup tho were had to be removed so the case can be cut, after the cutting was finished a new aluminum mesh was installed on all the previuous places and fitted with a plastic frame.. no glue, or silicone was used...

Also the case was fitted with 4x 50mm wheels

UPDATE: August 13. 2008.
I just put an aluminum mesh on the left side of the case to prevent dust from entering the case from behind the motherboard... hopefully it will do the job (and hopefully it will not short circuit something)

So far this is all we have done... it obviously lacks aftermarket cooler but hopefully that will come soon. Also presently the plexiglass currently has no fan holes since i couldn't get ahold of a 12CM circular saw, but that is planned for another date. Very soon im planning on cutting out two 120mm fan holes (one at the side, one at the top), and installing two fan grills for those fans..

Silencing the case is also a tought, but at a later date...

One 120mm fan was meant to be installed at the front of the case in the place of 3x 5,25" bays...

THIS IS OUR FIRST EVER MOD, SO I'M PRETTY HAPPY WITH IT... HOEPFULLY MORE WILL FOLLOW SOON - HOPEFULLY WITH BETTER TOOLS

Just a little update on the project...

Today we started to make a 3x 5,25" bay replacement (130mm X 150mm) plexiglass panel to house a 120mm intake fan at the front of the case. The plan is to have a plexi front side with a mesh behind it and screw on mount for the 12cm fan, also it's planned that the mentioned front panel will be retractable in the same manner as u would take out your CD or DVD reader... hopefully it will be done by the end of the week...

The biggest problem we're facing now is the lack of 112mm hole saw to make a really nice fan hole...

Will update with some photos once it is done...

Cheers, please do post some comments

Danke very puno

Ima tu jos puno posla, al najverovatnije cu uskoro da uzmem CM690 jer me ova kanta nervira i nije dovoljno siroka!!! Ne mogu da zatvorim kuciste od ovog ludog HR-01 hladnjaka...
A i smaraju me zesce ovi 80mm fanovi

CM 690 je brutalno dobar, za ok novce... videcemo kako ce to ispasti!

Just added a Thermalright HR-01 Plus to cool the CPU, along with that 120mm Coolermaster green led fan... @1200rpm cools the CPU to 28-29C on idle

Cant wait to get the 3000rpm FAN

Bih ja uzeo i 590 u obzir, nego nigde ga nisam video bez napajanja... a 690 je jeftiniji nego 590 sa napajanjem! Videcemo ako nadjem, bez PSU, mozda ga i uzmem
