[Sponsored] NZXT BIO-MECHANICAL KHAOS Mod - Page 3

post #21 of 359
Thanks for the long and descriptive video on this case. The center triple fan mount is interesting and should be great for air cooling. i especially lol'd at the 3 feet of front panel wires . Adding that bit about the dual PSU airflow problem was great, i never thought about "how in the hell are these PSU's going to get fresh air". They would probably run pretty hot kissing each other like that. $400 is pretty steep though.

Oh, i forgot to mention about the folding motherboard tray, i forget where i saw the review but because of the angle it causes larger CPU heatsinks to hit the top of the case preventing you from folding it up properly and eliminating the benefit of the tray.

For $400, you have to really weigh out the hits/misses.. I do like that shell design!

I saw the vid on youtube and left a comment saying that a Giger mod would be awesome. Bio-mechanical theme would be great for the shape of the case.

Are you going to make those slit style plate things more functional? looks like they were made for some reason. Maybe they made them for modders to make them into something.


Thx for the vid up

good video.
I like the idea of a case review from pov of modder instead of that of a system builder.

Bump, just because I wanted to know if there's any updates for us about what direction Bill's taking this mod.

Sorry for late reply, I've been super busy with other people's projects, so mine have to wait..lol

I'm definately doing a bio-mechanical with the Khaos. I've been tearing down the Khaos in my spare time. I actually like the case stripped down to it's shell. It's the extruded aluminum surface I dig. I ordered this medical model skull as my starting point. I also contact NZXT about getting another HD cage (shown here). I've got an idea for making machined intakes for each of the front of each removable HD cage.
