Hey guys im new around here. Just got my new 690 for my new system (though I would buy early to get the case sorted.)
So far ive done 2 things.
1 - Started cutting the fan grills out.
2 - Taken a hammer and screwdriver to the top back left hand corner to bash a dent out after some muppet in the factory dropped the case and dented it so the side panel didn't fit flush and created a terrible rattle that would have been horrific when the system was built.
Case with the first grill cut out.
The damaged corner...
Sorry about the shoddy images I just took some shots on my phone.
so 1.5 mods :P. add me to the list
Also has anyone used the TT Silent Wheels in these cases?
Im fitting a couple on to the top of the case on the inside as exhausts. with rubber mounting bolt, also considering a ring of silicone as there's room for it in the design and I thought it might stop a little more vibration and stop air bleeding from the space created by the rubber bolts.
As I don't think I will be using the side fans I might also stick some sound deadening foam in there. any opinions or advice on that specifically in the 690?
EDIT: all of the grills removed, learned the hard way that those things are bloody sharp after they have been cut out :P
