Curious; how did you cut you fan hole in bottom of case?

raised the case,the fan is moving air..but not the amount i would like it to.

might as well buy a new fan.

i gave my case to a metal workshop,they did it for me within 30 seconds!! :D

you could do it at home with a dermal,but that will require buying one,learning to use it properly(its fairly simple tough) and patience to cut a circular hole.i had neither :p

metal workshop guys have the right tools and skills plus its cheaper than doing it yourself.

 

i modified and painted the case myself tough :D

 

PS-Raising the case height does help in the air flow.thanks!

not trying to be mean, but all this could have been avoided if you had taken the $ you would spend on modding the case and applied it to buying a better case to begin with...

Actually, modding a case is fun. You get to work on it and work on it, and it dawns on you what a good case would look like if you bought one new, and you look for one over the months and years. I modded my Beta Evo with a bottom hole and I removed all the grills. It's actually turned out pretty well.

 

I know what I would like in a case, but nobody makes just what I want. So I wait. In the mean time, I have my modded case.

 

Hmmm. In the 'mean' time. I think that's a pun.

My motherboard blew up today, so my backup is in currently and I don't have enough fan headers with this one. I plan on buying a motherboard on Thursday or Friday and hopefully it will get here next week sometime. So once I get the new board I'll give feedback on the new fans.

Fan headers are not needed for case fans. Get your power from your PSU and don't molest your motherboard.

Looks like you put some thought into it. I like a plain black box case but can appreciate yours too.thumb.gif
