Hi,

I am going to start a new build named PST: Project Silicon Talisman. I have received most of the parts and awaiting some. It is a combination of old and new parts.

I am going for 420mm and 360mm rad. 420mm rad is going in top of the case. Phanteks Enthoo Luxe cant take another triple rad in front or bottom. So I spent sometime messing around with 5.25" bays in front. And I managed to unscrew more than dozen of screws to remove the 5.25" cage, which means I will not be able to install my BD-RW drive but I really dont use it much and I have a spare external drive sitting around if required.

So here are a few images of 5.25" bays cage removal to fit 360mm rad in front.





A view from the top



After the cage detached, I noticed that all the case front panel cables were going through it. Took another 15 minutes to disconnect the cables and connect them back properly



And finally success. The cage is out and I can fit the 360mm radiator. Now I need to order one.
