Hey guys started a mod on my Antec 300 case. I was bored and was inspired by a lot of other modders and decided to try a hand at it myself. Just a quick run down on what im planning on doing im going to cut holes in both side panels, attach a h100 radiator to the front of the case where the 2 120 mm fans sit, im going to install a removable mother board tray with custom track, mount my ssd, HDD, in the 5.25 bay. have two 140mm fans installed on top with dust filters.
Ive also bought a bunch of heat shrink for cable management and will be drilling holes and installing grommets for a nice clean looking case
so with out further hesitation heres what i have so far!

Case Stripped Down!

Prepped and ready to go

Top Off, Rivets popped out.

3.5 inch bays need to come out

Drilling out rivets

Rivet heads stuck to drill bit

few more rivets to go then the 3.5 inch bays will be gone

Success!!!

Looking sexy

MOBO tray taken out

Prepping the mobo tray for cutting, ill be needing a few parts for case structural reinforcement!

Tools and saftey procedures

Commence the cutting!

PSU standoff cut and ready to be reinstalled

PSU standoff Rerivetted and installed

Re-rivetting part of the mobo tray to reinforce the 5.25 inch bay area

took out the back panel since i have a removable mobo tray in the mail, ill reuse this part later on!

Its coming together

Top put on to see get and idea of how it will look and stand

My ghetto reuse of my cut out mobo tray and I/O back panel but it works

My homeless computer
i need to move the monster.
MORE to come im just waiting on all the extra pieces!!!
