Default Project: Retro

Yeah, i'm at it agian...

OK, So what we have here is a Full Gateway 2000 AT Tower, I decided to stick some OLD P1 stuff in their to show ya what it was like.


Cooling:

If you notice, I have ALOT of room in this case. I plan to add 2 120MM fans in the front, 2 80MM fans in the rear, and 2 80MM fans up top.

Color

I think Black would be nice for this case (Inside and out) with some RED LED fans.

The pics:







This case use to be AT, so the backplate only had 1 hole... so I fixed that. but I cut out to much so Bondo'ed back on what I took off.









Now, there is room for four HDD's (1 up top, 3 in the rack) but I only use one, so I am going to be removing the rack; I am also removing it so I can add the other 80MM fan.

I need a name for this project, that is up to the members of OC/net..

Well, just to give ya an idea, I had to drill the holes in the Motherboard mounting plate just to HOLD a reg ATX Motherboard, and I had to cut away almost all of the Backplate to hold an ATX I/O Shield.
