So I got some time today after writing my exam and passing it (98% :blob7: ) to do some modding on the case.

So first thing I did was bend a peace of metal on top of the case to make a little more room for the radiator.

Which was flat like the one on the bottom of the bays was.

Then I tapped up the top of the case and got my template in place after doing some careful measurements.

So the cutting begins (actually half way there :wink: )

Giving the dremel a bit of a rest

And finally after some more cutting its out

Sies dirty, nothing my trusty leaf blower wont sort out though.

Hes the cut and a lot of sanding down to do to get it into shape.

After about 45min I was done with it and this was the end result

Some casualty to the paint job which isn't a train smash I am going to repaint anyways

So thats it for this update, I have found someone to CNC the front panel for me which will get done next week.
