Ya you guessed it is a rocketfish mod. Ya another one. Well it seems that i have to cut my case up once again maybe ill add a window this time.

The main things i want to do is cut holes for cable management, mount my second mcr320 in the bottom/cut a hole in the side panel so it can it breath, and maybe a nice window. The pictures below are of my case from stock to how it is now.

The stock case with no mods

Bad angle sorry but heres the the big whole in the top on my case for the first mcr320

The case with both MCR 320 in teh bottom one needs to be screwed down. but i have L brackets that should do the trick.

Yes i know my tubing is gray. The fesser blue i was using dyed it.

Just curious, but are your fans set to pull air? And if so, is that the best orientation to have the fans?

I have the same case, and I have my fans set up similar to yours, although I would assuming it would be better to have the fans above the radiator to draw in cooler air?

Also, I am not sure but is your radiator offset on the top? I am having problems with it touching the top of my mobo coolers. I am curious if I can switch over to the GTX360 on top.

whe3ls · Sep 5, 2008

nope the rad isnt offset. i have a thinner rad than you do. im sure you could put it on the top of your case if you wanted . and yes i have my fan on teh bottom pulling air throu the rad in to the case.

whe3ls · Sep 25, 2008

ok i think i may being making some head way i just ordered some small peices for this mod. its a start right.

well what is it sylrillan ?

Syrillian · Oct 14, 2008

A backgammon board?!??

Lol....

Twin grill for a rad, or perhaps a fan-only grill?...

...I'll go with #2... fans only.

P.S. I see that your cheery helper is as jovial as always.

whe3ls · Oct 14, 2008

well you guessed it, its a rad grill, its going to be going up in the front of the case.

Syrillian · Oct 14, 2008

I almost had it.

I thought "fans only". (

@ self)

Nice-looking design.

As a point of interest: How do you feel about the "dead spaces"?

whe3ls · Oct 14, 2008

i might be a fan only grill im not sure yet.

dead spaces? please explain.

The red rectangular areas are ones that air has the potential of passing through. The solid portions block the airflow and lowers the cfm.

The round areas are moot as that is the (roughly) location of the fan hubs.
