All the parts featuring this MOD:




Summarizing my idea is to lower the HAF 500 to create the tunnel feelling and place a 200mm fan in the rear and the other in the front creating a wind tunnel.

Hi again so today I bring you some updates about the project HAF in HALF.

Resuming I started by disassemble the case, and remove almost all revits, then I cut it and rivet it again but turning it a lot smaller!
Then I made the motherboard holder using the original one.

Hi again everyone!

I've more updates to share with you so lets start!
So I manage to glue everything that I needed and started working in the SSD's support and all the covers to hide the cables.
Didnt made any footage of about the fans cage mostly because I was streaming at that time, sorry!

I will probably add the stream to youtube, I started in English but the stream have more time in Portuguese mostly because I had more portuguese people watching at that time.
