I got this case a couple of years ago and just painted it black with some fan holes(Don't have any of those pics but here is how it looked untouched) Well I got the itch to re-mod it and have been doing so off and on for a couple months.. I can now pick up the pace as the weather turns good here(Ohio). I have SOO much left to do Heres the case semi primered and the front bezel with 65% of the bondo work done. And heres a pic of the sides and top that still need to be sanded down to bare metal for painting. And thats after I decide what I going to do with the old fan holes! I don't need any of them so lots of windows or.....something else And heres some of the stuff that will end up in the case(about a 1/4 of the stuff I need) After I bondo the rest of the bezel and a couple of spots on the frame, the frame will get primered and painted with the metal cast red. While the sides and bezel will be getting a flat/satin black and the drive bays will be brushed Alu matching the Vandal switches. I'll also be cutting the "slotted" area of the two case sides out(It's up near the drive cages) and put in mirror plex windows maybe... I will be updating this weekly of more.. LMK what you all think, and any suggestions about what to do with all the old fan holes..... besides lots of windows Thanks Kook
You can kinda see the heater core, its to the left under some of the fans I'll be using 2 blowing 2 sucking on the core with two shrouds. And there the 131 CFM 120mm YS Tech ones. Kook
I like the port tubes! /* makes mental note to find some Ooooo... I see Robert Jordan books on the bookcase. Awesome series!
Robert Jordan is T3h R0XX0R I really liked Wheel of TIme, but Conan wasn't too great. www.partsexpress.com has tons of port tubes and crap Direct Link - http://www.partsexpress.com/webpage.cfm?webpage_id=3&SO=2&&DID=7&CATID=48&ObjectGroup_ID=143
Yeah The Wheel of Time rocked!! I still have to read Winter Heart Heres a better shot of the stuff on the bookcase. I will be making a new Alu front to the retro bus using that blue one in the pic as a guide. And I have to finish fixing up those fan filters they looked like that from the store but on the website it stated they weren't perfect. And.....my heater core still needs some attention. And heres a shot of the ports cut to size and the texture sanded out. I'm about to bondo the tubes to the front bezel should be fun! I'll post some shots of that when it done.. bilnv - I just wanted the best air flow thru my HC. I'll be making those shrouds this weekend out of Alu sheets.. Kook
What heatercore is that? I'd really like a single pass one for when I redo my setup. Looks really good.
Heres the cores specs I still have to clean up around the barbs I installed and clean the fins again. I got it at Napa autoparts for 30$ they have it under the same part# 2-342. They had to ordered it, took about two days...not bad. Kook
I've got a caprice core that's about the same size right now. Is that core a 3 pass or 1 pass? I can't tell. What's your color scheme going to be?
Its a single pass HC. My color scheme is Top,Sides and Bezel will be black w/ Flat/Satin finish All drive bays Alu brushed Chasis will be Metalcast Red And all accent parts will be brushed Alu. Various windows(Clear and mirror) White cathod Thanks Kook
Well heres what I got done this weekend Heres my second layer of bondo UNSANDED (Still letting it fully set) Heres my half finished rad shroud still got lots of work to do on it. And heres one of my case sides mostly sanded down to bare metal. Well I'm off to work some more. Kook
