Case Modding

Got the case out and had a look how to fit the cooling inside it.
Going to put a Black Ice Stealth 240 radiator in the front after i've modded the fans to 120mm instead of those 80mm's.




First problem I can see is the 3.5" drive bays.
They're going to fowl on any radiator I try to fit in there so i'm gonna have to zip those off.




-----------------------------------

I've cut a piece of aluminum to size which will fasten the bottom of the 5.25" drives together after i've cut out the 3.5" bays.



Also cut another piece to size, once i've finished with this it'll accept 120mm fans instead of the tiny 80mm fans.



I've started looking at pump mounting, since the Xirex res top is too big it's looking at being a normal DDC top now with a stand alone reservoir.




------------------------------------------------------

Tiny bit done today because I went out and bought a new pack of Dremel Cut-off Wheels.

I've cut the 3.5" bays off the bottom of the 5.25" bays in order to allow me to fit the radiator in the front of the case.




Tomorrows job is to finish off the plate to fasten the 120mm fans into the case!
