[Project]: Lancool K7 makeover 56k warning

post #1 of 50
Thread Starter 
Hi everyone

Well I decided to try to sell my current stuff on ebay and want to put everything in one package. So I wanted to do a makeover with this Lancool K7 Metal Boned case I bought on ebay from 3dgameman (Rodney Reynolds) This is the same case in this VIDEO REVIEW. I really wanted to put water cooling inside this case, but after receiving the case it was just to crammed inside for a 240GTX standing upright in the front dual 120mm area. So it is all air on this one baby. So I bought a Tuniq Tower cpu cooler, and a soon to be lapped Q6600 Go cpu. And to cool the Crucial PC-8500 a Corsair memory cooler as well. This project buiild will not have much modding going on with it, more like a quick makeover. Here are my current parts list I have so far for this build. I plan on cutting out a window for the case, and change the fans inside the case as well. I am not sure if I should add fans with leds or not? I plan on getting case powder coated Metallic Blue outside, and inside Silver Metallic.

Time for the tear down...


Now for some Painters tape for the side panel to cut out for the side window.


A modders dream tool "The Dremel"


Now to use the small cutting disc to start a hole for the Jigsaw Blade



Now the finished cut not that straight I must of been drunk


I used a file to file down to complete a straight line
