I think the SR1 looks like the better choice as well.

Are 140mm rads out of the question?

I can do one for the back, but it's out of the thought for the top.

Thx CP

All right, Talked with Binge, if I go with a rad on the back, I do 140mm Sr1

ChaoticAtmosphere · May 24, 2010

Wow....you made the rad part of the case...brilliant! What paint chips???

I know...you still know they are there. :laugh:

But nobody can see them now!

Thanks for words. Yeah, I wanted to make it to where it was straight with the top. Now, I gotta think of where to place the Blu-ray drive, and buttons.. I think at the back... still thinking.. Hell, I can even flip this baby around now.. Hmmmm

Cold Storm · May 25, 2010

All right, since I woke up in the middle of the night.. Got to thinking.. Help me out here..

Fan Grill
Should it be going with the Bitspower "rad" style like I have for the 140mm fans? Or, should I do something else for them all? going to be 7-9 outer case fans.. I fell for, Black Tribal Grill or the HC grill.

Now, here is the second thing going threw my mind.. Power/reset/light Buttons. I was almost thinking... Military Switches.. What you guys think?

sneekypeet · May 25, 2010

I liked the skulls the most

Get a remote, screw switches :roll:

Cold Storm · May 25, 2010

Remote does sound like a fun thing to do. Hmm, gotta find a good one..

Thrackan · May 25, 2010

I had a great idea involving car keys and a starter engine once, but that was about 10 years ago and I never went through with it. Starting your PC with keys would be the ultimate for me, though this remote idea comes in close second.

Cold Storm · May 26, 2010

All right, I'm thinking of buying ether the

Logisys 12v 4channel remote

Or,

Logisys 12v 4 Zone Multi-Mode controller

Then, now this is the most important one since I'll be doing it tomorrow..

Should I have the front fans in the middle of the case?

Or,

Have them lined up with the fans on the top?

ChaoticAtmosphere · May 26, 2010

As far as the remotes are concerned, I have no experience therefore no opinion either.

Front fans? Well, imo, I'd line them up with the top fans, especially if they are the same look and size. Otherwise centre them. It also depends on how that will affect airflow. Your call.

Hmmm... You got me thinking of... lol. I don't want to do 140mm fans. I was thinking but It would look stupid.. 140mm everywhere but the top.. so, with that, i'll probably do a 120mm fan, on the back.. I'm still undesided...

Well, two reviewers at TT has told me what I should do with the fan grills.. I think I might do it. Just gotta get off and find out how much it would be.. Hmmmm, those TT'ers... :roll:

Cold Storm · May 29, 2010

Got some spacers today along with some stuff to make the next few cuts count. Also got some J-B Weld so I can make the boxes for both the blu-ray drive and the box for the psu. Don't want it to be showing off.. lol

But,

That came in so I'm a snail now on working on the case.. lol

Ok, so I lied.. I got my ps3 controller working, thanks Dark, and now I added the spacers.

the spacers go..

3/4" > 1/2" > 1/4" > case

I don't know if I'll do it as high as the 3/4.. be playing some more in a min.. IF I do use the spacers, I'll have to cut into the side of the rail to make the rad raise up.. if not.. spacers there also.. lol.. Who knows yet.. I know if spacers are used.. mesh is going to be used.

Now for some 1/2" love..

This time...

1/2" > 1/4" and a nut from M4 screw. > 1/4" > case

I gotta say, I love the 1/2 in the front better then the 3/4" spacers. What you guys think?

i think the 1/2 looks nicer, too. the 3/4 makes it look like the case is tearing itself apart, lol.

Yeah, I think the same thing. But, gotta get it on the table for some other pictures.. Want to see how it does flip flopped around.. Should have a nice update tomorrow. gotta clean up the rad cover area and do the blu-ray drive.

Update: 5/31/2010

Well, there is still a bit to do before it's totally finished. But, very happy with how far it's came.

TOP:

I gotta trim a bit on the bar to get it to be flush. Well, flush for the sides.. Damn Bar.. lol

I've decided that I'm going to do 140mm fans on the front. I'm going to line up the fans with the top, that way I can place the PSU in the front and not worry about anything. The Big task will be the back. Since I gotta worry about the remove-able mobo tray. But, shouldn't be a problem.

ChaoticAtmosphere · Jun 1, 2010

Ok so now it's gonna be a blue tower??? Help me here CS!!!!! :slap:

That's all painters Tape. I needed something to allow myself to see the markings of pencil and marker.

ChaoticAtmosphere · Jun 1, 2010

But judging from the last pics, you put the front fans....okay I'll STFU. :toast:

Yeah, I just taped it all up. the first picture of the post you can see that the bottom of the case is black. Make sure that what I do is lined up "somewhat" right. :roll:

Cold Storm · Jun 4, 2010

Oh, so close

I guess now it's a male/female coupler to finish it off.. lol

So, I'm editing to show this off.

I almost want to see if when I powder coat, thowing the block's top in with the case..

A little bit of a nagging qustion.. I got 140mmx20mm Aerocool Silver Lighting for the bottom of the fans. So, I'm thinking of doing the same. Or, should I grab 5 others? I see yate Loon have 140cfm fans that would be crazy, but probably have to 7v it to make it work without killing my head.. should I go the 140's or even something else?

Let me know.

Binge · Jun 4, 2010

So I got the PM about fan controllers. The San Ace fans need something a bit more sturdy. That Lamptron you linked me will get hot and burn up. How many fans are you trying to power? I have a black Scythe Ultra Kaze fan controller than will handle 4 fans if you need it.

I've heard mixed reviews on that Ultra Kaze controller. Well, I was thinking about the psu.. Since I'll do a "bigger one", I thought to put the San Ace fans back on it.. I remember now that we talked about the Sunbeam Rahobus one being the key player.. As for powering, I was thinking of doing two.. one for the San Ace, then another for the 6 other fans.. The Yate Loons sound pretty good with a fan controller to me.. But, don't know yet..
