Default [Complete] Water Fish updated 12/27/08

As you may have guessed this is another Rocketfish case mod. Not planing to have any outstanding painting or any painting done to the case. Though i am planning to maximise the interior space while preserving as many drive bays as possible and while keeping cable management at a 9/10 or 10/10. Oh and almost forgot there will be 2 radiators mounted internally a MCR320 and MCR220.

CPU temps are real good 41C idle 46c load @ 1.45vcore

Didnt exactly hold true on what i had said earlier but 3 picture update time of both radiators mounted in the case with details on the cut outs done.

Didnt want to remove all the center structure other wise no support is left to hold the case together.
MCR220 radiator


MCR320 radiator


Cut out of top of case for radiator.

Been meaning to update for a few days now but just got my PC back up and running since my motherboard died on me had to reinstall windows and instead of xp decided to jump to vista big update on some of the inside of the case and what is to come soon in a later update.

HDD bays original gap closed up and moved forward


Just enough room for the side panel to slide on


aluminum angle iron what might this be used as....


Size of the angle iron


Thin aluminum sheet metal you should have a good idea where this is going.....

Update again lots of parts and pieces coming together so to start seeing the big picture of how all of the parts look in final placement

Cut out of the sheet metal took 2hr with dremmel


No not just looking at the PSU but look at the angle iron cut outs and riveted to the border of the case


Cut out for power cords and/or sata wires to board


Full side shot of the bottom of the case with all parts in


Inside shot that you couldn't see clearly of the MCR220 rad mounted in earlier post.
