Greetings Everyone
My last case mod "The Clone" was a major failure. But this one is going to be completed
I want to thank Syrillian for all the support and encouragement he provided leading up to this build.
What is this build all about ?
This build is going to be a simple tech station. I have two more mods "ANT" and "Clone - Resurrected" lined up. I need something to put all the hardware for these mods, test the WC loop and overclock.
Why call it Storm ?
Well 2 reasons actually.
1. I couldn't think of a better name.
2. I started the mod on a day when everything outside my house looks like this ...
Why was "The Clone" shelved ?
To put it simply. I was broke. I still am. but I have now graduated and found a job. So I will have a lot more disposable cash at hand starting next year. (Thats when the other two projects start)
If you are broke, where did you find the money to start this mod ?
Syrillian very very generously shipped 16 pounds of acrylic all the way from CA to MA all free of cost to me. All the acrylic used in this mod is what Syrillian donated to me.
Cant thank him enough for that
Alright enough.. Can we get to the details now ?
Yes sure, This one is a very simple tech station. Its dimensions are 12" x 12 " x 6"
it will be capable of holding 2 independent loops. One on each side. I have configured it to hold a 240 rad on each side. but you can put a 360 in there without problems.
Internally It will hold two harddrives and one DVD drive. No fan controller for now. I might add one later.
I have already cut, sanded and polished all the acrylic needed for this mod. So this log is going to be more of assembling rather than designing or fabricating..
Without further delay lets get to it
