This is my current project... it is a work in progress.


window mod.


Inside case. All IDE cables are now silver and PSU cables are all nylon wrapped.


Baybus shot.


I received my watercooling gear yesterday so this will all change this weekend. I will post pictures of the case when it is all installed.

I plan on painting this case as well when time permits.

OK guys, I am half way finished with my window mod... the window is a huge AMD logo. I have the green cold cathode... so probably before this weekend I will have it completed... I borrowed a fair working digital camera... So, I will also have pics.

Update soon!

Nice mod

I'd like to stick a window in mine, but would prefer some kinda rubber mounting so the glass/perspex sits inside the hole instead of overlapping it - so it all looks nice and level. Anyone got any good links for doing a mod like this?

No big deal.

Before I made the duct I had an 80mm sunon fan there. That side fan and 80mm front fan were intake and top and rear 80mm fans were exhaust. I had really good airflow and great temps. But then one day I decided to try the duct thing. I measured to within about 3/8" of fan on hsf and then cut the pvc pipe down to fit. That left me enough clearance to remove side panel without any problems and yet give a clear intake for the hsf to pull in cool ambient air. I then reassembled and temp did drop by 1c but more importantly, it's one less fan that I have running and therefore less noise. Less noice and better temp = :thumbsup: in shuki's book!

Ok i got some pics but they are from a webcam(really shity)

Alot of the lighting effects cannot be seen with a webcam so i didnt bother taking any without room lights or glow only but in real life its awsome to see in its blue red glow colors.
Its all hand made (no kits) and the only tools i had was a jig-saw and drill with
big hole attatchments ....oh and alot of paint.

MY FIRST MOD


BTW the page is a real hurry job so please dont comment on it...lol
