Bump! 120mm fan holes coming soon!

Also I plan on getting an antec 20cm fan and modding the front so I can have that as front intake,thoughts?

That or use an 18cm if its better then the antec.

Chicken Patty · Oct 21, 2009

Looking forward to the fan holes :toast:

pantherx12 · Oct 21, 2009

Cool man

Do you know any good 18cm fans or 20cm fans?

not really. Check this store out, they seem to have a few available. I know you are not in US, but maybe you can pick out one you like and see if you can find a vendor that has one close to you

My holesaw arbour came today

I might do some test cuts later, will post pics later!

(Going cut hole in spare side panel)

Only thing stopping me is I've misplaced my drill :laugh:

pantherx12 is gay!

i'm still jealous of all this crap you're able to buy though

MilkyWay · Nov 1, 2009

just checked out the case

got any finished pics? i think it looks good inside now, i like how you used little rubber parts on the cable management holes

pantherx12 · Nov 1, 2009

It's not finished yet, not got a drill to use the hole saw, need to wait for my nieghbour to be around to borrow his.

Also new motherboard and dual gpu set up at themoment so more cable management holes

pantherx12 · Nov 16, 2009

BUMP!

Done quite a lot to the case recently, pics as soon as I find my camera or my new one from aCid comes

Also bought a whole bunch of stuff.

Things that are already done or are a certainty.

1. 22cm front intake : My graphics cards will be bathed in 150cfm of cool air, even in quad fire.
Getting done this week if all goes well.

2. 2 x120 mm sidepanel fans: Strategically placed to allow large heatsinks, had to get rid of the fancy side panel design to do this as the metal exploded all over the place ( and into my foot) as I was cutting it.
DONE

3. 120mm casefloor hole, probably won't use this but a point for a 120.1 rad, fucked this one up and its off centre.
DONE

4. Tripple rad in the damn ceiling! Just because I can, its a tight fit due to top mounted PSU, I imagine only 2 fans will be fitted if I keep it internal, if I have the rad external and the fans on the inside I can fit all 3.
Getting done within the month if all goes well

5. Air flow, finished with this everything that restricted airflow is gone.
DONE

6. Cable management, done, ordered more triming aswell to make it look purty.
DONE

7. PAINT IT BLACK! Now I have a big huge side panel with no black twirly bits I'm going to have to do this, because the HDD racks look shite.
Getting done after the front intake mod.

I think that covers it.

I've buggered up on two things with this though, cracked the side panel when I was filing the new fan holes : [

Is there anything you guys would like to see me attempt with this mod?

I've got the time

MKmods · Nov 16, 2009

Carbon Fiber case! (JK)

I will be curious to see how you stuff a triple rad in the top.

When I have much more money perhaps :laugh:

I'm pretty certain I can fit the rad in,I've measured up and have the space, it is extremely tight though.

Once its in it will be fine and dandy, I imagine I'm going to end up with cut wrists whilst installing it though, PSU support rails are going to be a pain to work around.

pantherx12 · Dec 13, 2009

Bump!

Just finishing up

Got everything painted now.

Current hold ups.

Lack of angle grinder ( get it tomorrow)

Tried painting a HDD cage by hand then decided to finish it with spray, the paints reacted exothermically, heat bubbles all over!

Will clean it with white spirt then-repaint and I'm sorted

MKmods · Dec 13, 2009

Looking forward to the picts.

Oh yeah, I'll need to get a camera then :laugh:

MKmods · Dec 13, 2009

lol, that helps. Check out the FS thread.. I have bought my last 2 cameras there.....

pantherx12 · Dec 28, 2009

Borrowed my mums Camera, still not finished as I done no modding over christmas ( to my own things anyway)

How ever here's a little pic to keep everyone going whilst I take pictures of all the parts that are going in

pantherx12 · Jan 1, 2010

AND!

Finally putting things in

Will do rest of the photos tomorow evening as I'm shattered!

May notice its a bit messy but there was already holes so I can't tidy what's already gone : ]

Asides from the holes other messy-ness is as this is going to be hidden behind a faceplate so does not matter to me.

22cm Free hand dremel circle ftw!

Chicken Patty · Jan 1, 2010

Good job dude :toast:

Liket he way it came out.

pantherx12 · Jan 1, 2010

Cheers man!

Can't wait to share the finished thing with you, not happy with the side panel needs replacing ( cheap plexi broke as I sanded the new fan holes D: ) But that will have to wait til I have money.

Just ignore how the side panel looks

pantherx12 · Jan 2, 2010

Its done!

Needs a few finishing touches, I'll post picsd as soon as I can work out why I can't upload pictures anywhere : ]

I still need to put in the lights, and a rear fan.

Now, one quite important thing, I need a power switch! and reset switch , the ones that came with the case broke : [
