I recently updated some of the computers in our office and ended up with 3 Antec Plus SX1030B File Server Cases. I have always enjoyed the simplistic and understated look of this steel case. With so much potential I could just not bring myself to just pitch these. So I figured why not it's time for a new project. I have spent hours on end looking at pictures of beautifully modded cases, and am now getting bored with my current configuration.
This will be my first full case mod and my first crack at water cooling. I plan to flip the mother board, vertical mount the power supply, add a plexi panel to hide the PS and water cooling equipment, add a side panel window and paint. Feel free to criticize what ever you may like, this is going to be a learning experience!
