UPDATE>>>>>>8/18 Well i finally got to some modding last night which was a blast. Not too difficult. Just drilling out some rivets and putting in a Black Ice Pro Here's a picture of the bottom support i had to remove for my pump and radiator. the other bracket i had to remove. My tool of choice : ) Action shot of me drilling out the rivets first cage removed Second cage removed Before and after shot It really opened up alot of space Full on shot The mammoth fan installed by antec. I just saw it when i took it out. It's like twice as big as the average fan. : ) Definately gonna be my radiator fan. Silicon dampners from my unused drivecage. Soon to be used as grommets. But for what : P Where the first radiator is going. And it was a biotch to get in... Here she is Had to drill out the wholes for the bolts to fit Frontal backal sideal well that's about it for now. I'll probably get started on the VGA retention clip today.
Great start Fozzy. This case was on my shortlist so I'm interested to see how it turns out. Subscribed
TY This case just makes it to easy. I almost feel like i'm cheating. They only realy hangup so far is where i'm going to run the tubeing. I'm gonna try to route it along the right side up to the top but if not i'm gonna have to render my floppy unuseable : P. I'd kinda like to keep it
nice case, I'd not seen one before, quick Q tho: How would the PSU fitting work with a power supply with a bottom mounted 120mm fan?
fans only there too pull air through the psu. as long as it spins ( creats air ) theres no problem. correct me if im wrong =]
What I meant was, most psu's have fans front and/or back, but some have a big fan on the bottom, and from the pics in this case it looks like that opening would be covered, I'm sure it's easily done, it's just a bit hard to make out from the photos...
The case was designed so the PSU could be mounted Right-side-up and upside down if that makes sense. It also is lifted off of the floor of the case. I took some pics for ya. Here they have a hole for the bottom fan. here you can see they left the bracket open for airflow and here you can how the fan pushes air directly into the fan.
That's true but it would also be blocking the flow of air which would in turn slow down the airflo. It doesnt really matter though because this case already took that into consideration
That case still looks damn good. Finally case with SIMPLE frontpanel... Internals atleast look quite well-designed too. For sure I'd like to won case like that from somewhere
One of my fav parts is the front. I've thought of modding it but i like the idea of "simple on the outside, modheaven on the inside"

UPDATE>>>>> 8/20 Got my Zalman VGA HS. In the mail a while back and took pictures but forgot to load them. Here they are. Look how shiny thebase is : ) It's very well balanced and the fins are very thin which makes this cooler not so heavy. OOOOOOO look at the goodness Installed. This thing was not the easiest thing in the world to install. But i think i did it backwards. Ohh well. It has one of the best brackets i've every seen. 2 thumbs up. A little bit of advertizeing ohhh preeeeetty Ramsinks i havnt put on yet. Wanna use better paste.
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned but the fans on the radiator should be in a push-pull configuration for bette results. The fan inside the case should suck air through and the one outside should push air
Lookin nice so far. Temps should be alot better with that new zalman cooler but I don't think the ram sinks will give more than a few mhz in terms of overclock timings.
Great mod, makes me wish i had more time an money, or ur mom so she could get me teh stuff. Keep it up Fozzy.
