A little weekend modding

Here's a couple of mods I did to help cool the case a bit, not sure what they were thinking when they designed it lol.
It got very hot since my psu was the only way to get rid of the heat.. As you can see I have moved the psu up into the compressor section freeing up all that wasted room for some much needed fans
Before

After

And last but not least a little something to help with the noise and it really did help. The quietest rig I've had yet!

Well, thats it. I can now run 250x4 sticks or 275x2 sticks with ease. Which way of the two I have to still think about but my guess is that I'll stick with all four

Thanks bud, it was a much needed mod lol. But it wasn't anything crazy to do, just moved the fan to the side and cut out a little from the back for the outlet and power button. Probably took me an hour tops but man did it drop the case temps severly. The asetek guys covered the cpu cooling and said screw it to all else lol
