Hi all
This is my Silverstone Fortress, or better, was:
http://www.techpowerup.com/gallery/1849.html
Its a great case, but I am not entirely satisfied by it, especially airflow wise. So I had some ideas what to make with it. And now I finally feel motivated to do it. Here are my three ideas:
1. Stealthing the optical drive using a front bezel.
2. Since I only use one HDD cage, cut a hole where the top holding mechanism is located, so a top HDD can breathe.
3. The middle three front bezels. I want to mod a 120mm fan behind them, so there will be kind of an air tunnel feeding my Xigmatek directly with fresh air.
So these pics here will picture what I will be doing. They were edited with Paint, so sorry for the crappy look:
I'll make a project log if anyone is intrested, with pictures and text and such
If anyone has more ideas/suggestions, feel free to let me know.
Edit: This is my first "real" case mod, so I don't expect it to be epically perfect
