    I'll think about it. that shroud certainly also look very nice. since the case have not been painted yet it could easily fit!

    I agree with Nutman, you should work on quality of photos.

    Have to ask..you really drilled like 250 holes by hand ? I'm afraid that, no matter how accurately you have dotted them and how precise is your hand, it's far from easy to make them evenly. Especially if you used small drill instead of a bench drill. Not to mention the air flow. I know this from my personal experience :) Anyway, I hope it came out well, but imo it would be much better to cut 2 big holes for fans and use some nice grills or the best option - laser cut the acrylic.

    That front grill will starve the fans. A 1" slot in the bottom for 2 120mms is definitely not enough. You will get the dreaded 'whoooosh' noise. Generally you want the intake to be about the same surface area as the holes in the fans used.

    Even pattern drilling can be done if everything is marked out right.:D -I've mesh patterned a few bits of plexiglas in my lifetime.

    I'll figure something new out. Something that looks slick.

    Wait for it! :dremel:

    A little update.

    This week I received my XSPC ram covers.

    They look so slick, simple and elegant. :naughty::naughty:
    actually toke me some time to get them in the right place.
    very picky when it comes to things like this.:worried:


    Hope the picture quality is okay. (Please note a comment below if you have any suggestions to my way of taking photos really want to learn more about it. I'm actually moving to a new place "my IRL house" so thought of maybe making like a photo room with white bagground and good lighting.)

    Not sure i would do that as the Di-Noc is pretty thick and would insulate it pretty well. But if you just do the two outer surfaces it might not be a big deal.

    I was just going to put it on the outer surface (sides).

    But there have been a change of plans regarding the front panel and top.

    I will be making them from the bottom with aluminium.

    Hey hands up people!.

    I have recently had a lot of problems with all kinds of stuff regarding the modding project
    and have come to the solution that it will get a complete twist!

    here is a very unprofessional sketch.
    [​IMG]

    I will be making a top part for the case. containing radiators and fans.
    Recreating the front with a slick front panel covered in carbon.

    Rest will be explained as the pictures will be coming. :)

    Stay Tuned!

    I'm so excited about this update.

    I've been working all day on this, many hours with hand files.
    But this is a little update on how far I am in the progress.

    Decided to make a top cage as shown above in the drawing.
    Here is a teaser for it.
