please those who have many money there mod a case(Fractal Design Core 1000) please

Funny that you're asking about this. I'm currently in progress to mod a Core 1000. I'm giving it a nice cosmetic upgrade. The front will have (2) 120mm fans, the side custom door panel will have either (1) 140mm fan or (2) 120mm fans, and it will have a rear 120mm fan (that stock 92mm fan is too small for me). Got my parts ordered....just waiting for them to be delivered. Don't worry...I'll be posting the final pics in this thread thumb.gif

Thanks Adridu59, i found the same link as you, and this is exactly my graphics card smile.gif

So next week, bye bye CM690II, say hello to Arc Midi!

I will try to put my BeQuiet fans in it, and improve the filters to avoid dust rings issue. I also have a window to mount, so i guess it will not be ready quickly but it should be nice biggrin.gif

Stay tuned i'll post here when it's done!

Many thanks wheee.gif

One solution would be to take the filter off the front and get 140mm filters that mount to the fans (to the exhaust side of the fan)

I know this is slightly off topic, but I want to make this available to my Fractal brothers first. I'm selling my Corsair Vengeance 16 GB high profile set of ram for cheap. I want to get the low profile version of the exact same ram so I can use two fans on my CPU cooler. They've been in my build for exactly two weeks today so they are pretty new and I've not done any stress testing or anything demanding on them at all and they've worked no problem with just casual gaming on LoL and CSS. Original box and packaging. PM me for price if interested.

Personally I wouldn't take off the filter, just cut rings in front of the fan blades to keep the clean look. But that would also require cutting the frame behind the filter... maybe partially.

Thanks biggrin.gif
I can't hide the front panels wires though the closest hole because all my PSU cables are in the way lol

I only noticed they were like that after I took the pic tongue.gif I have fixed that now

I can't frown.gif All the other good places have been taken up. I might try and move them to where the front bottom fan would be if I had one. There should be enough space there

Thanks biggrin.gif And I moved them because I have a 140mm fan on the front, it's cooling the HDDs down. When I had them in the bottom cage the 3.5" would get to 40C and the 2.5" would get to 35C. With the 140mm fan blowing air onto them it's now down to 30C for the 3.5" and 27C for the 2.5"

it's easier to clean the case every once in a while then cut it. rolleyes.gif

first make a template of the HD's screw hole pattern

empty 51/2 drive bays , tranfer template over and drill
out matching holes

a 90 degree or right angled drill will come in handy

screw down thru drive bay into HD.

use some kinda suspension washer/standoff
to keep HD off of direct cage contact

real simple......but very effective

Just in case you didn't know

You can always simply remove the mem stiks coolers. A hairdryer makes this a simple task.
3-5C's is all the diff you'll see, either way.

Also, you can purchase low profile replacements

....just in case you find selling them difficult. wink.gif
