Case Mod - In Progress Project TwinForceTower

Hello to all boys, here I am back with a new project, very different from my standard made-scale "reduced"
as the PSPC (computer inside a PS1) and the newcomer, the cub8 (mini-ITX case that I upset the inside to mount a 240mm AIO).
I also take this opportunity to say that the project will take inspiration from my current PC, to which I gave a touch of elegance that was missing, Kathrine.



TfT, the name of the new project, to which the name refers to the two "towers" on the sides of the case.

Here are some render illustrating what I want to do.

Hello guys, little update!
To my amazement I present the first sponsors of the project:

Thanks Matthias

Thanks

New entry
Transcend

They give me the SSD's
Thanks Matteo!

 

Great news guys

They are going to get the main components of this mod!


A big thank you to CM Alex that despite all the problems could start officially this mod!

 

Pending the arrival of the latest components, I begin to introduce the new SSD's flagship home Transcend, the SSD370S.

Some features:
Metal body (Hence the "S" placed at the end of the classical model SSD370)
Capacity from 32GB to 1TB
SATA III 6Gb/s



The box, simple and full impact, it shows immediately a picture of the product and its ability



The bundle is complete:



Bracket;
Double set screws (4 for the bracket, 4 to lock the bracket);
User Manual;
And some illustrations on all other products Transcend.

Protected by an anti-static bag we find our SSD




And here's an overview of how it looks on the ssd mounted bracket



SSDs have given me two, will be configured in RAID 0 for even greater performance (Some benchmarks will put it later)




Thank to Transcend for the opportunity to continue this project and for the sample given me.

For now, I leave you with this beautiful photo.

 

Yeah,simply and clean

 

Uh,boxs

 

Meanwhile here is the beautiful cables ModdingStylez being completed.





Thanks again to Mathias for the kindness and patience he had with me

 

BIG ENTRY:
CoolerMaster!
Thanks again Alex for giving me this wonderful product of CM's House .
Let's start off with the fans, the Silencio FP 120.
 
 

 
Ben 15, we find especially in CM aio home just because their "generous" blades push a large amount of air.
 



 
Opening the package we will immediately in front of the fan. The package is very simple and clean.
 


 
But the surprises do not end here, opening further skatole also find a Molex and 2 sets of screws (one rubber and one classic)
 


 
Here we can admire in all its beauty the fan with its huge blades
 


 
Last grains, but not least, the cable is already black sleeved.
 
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------
 
 
AAAH, my favorite.
 
CM STORM MECH 
 
Complete of I/O inputs 3.0, aluminum, mechanical, fully backlit,  fully programmable!
Love at first sight!
 
 
 


 


 
Protected by abundant spongy material located at all sides and from a bag ...


 
Here our Mech
 

 
USB 3.0 cable type A / B to eliminate any possible delay during communication with the Rapid Fire Engine 32-bit 72 MHz processor for playing Macro!
 

 
In the bundle is ring for the removal of the keys and the key to remove the aluminum part
 

 
It is protected by an additional film ...
 


 
We find the CM Storm logo shiny continues on aluminum!
 



 
Mini-USB connector for an additional power backlight, less than 2 USB 3.0 inputs, microphone input and headphone output.
 

 
The mech is also equipped with a useful handle if one wants to carry around (This is to understand how difficult it is be separated from)
 


 
The backlight mode is 3 (4 counting the OFF): Totally off, Led near the controls of the game and the macro keys, Total and a wonderful effect FADE IN/OUT of all the LEDs.
 

 
The back is clean it is appealing, just like the rest of the keyboard.
 

 
Here a programmable macro keys M (i'm already using to insert the IMG tag of the photos, they are tremendously useful when you have to compose more tags same, same thing in games, MMO)

And them? Who is hiding?



Are the holders for mounting HDDs in their cages




This however is the hidden drawer mentioned before



Where we will find plenty of screws, clamps, speaker, an extension EPS 8pin (CPU) and a set of adapters 5.25" to 3,5"



Now begin the work guys!

 

Now it starts to get serious guys!

I removed all the screws conceivable in the case and that is the proceeds



Finding myself the skeleton of the Trooper with his nice handle to the frame of the case




3 rivets on each side and two other brackets with 4 rivets hold firmly this tool almost essential.



Proceeding with disassembly ...



Also outside the front wall containing the box for HDD and ODD cage



Finding myself in this situation



Here's what I find myself at the end of the day.



See you at the next UP!

 

Santa Claus is coming..to town

 

Here arrived directly from Germany leads the good Matthias











The quality is impressive, the cables are very rigid and socks are always clean.

And what do you think?

 

Substantial updates guys!

After dismantling the houses have begun to take steps to turn the Motherboard plate



And with some work of grinder here is the panel take shape to position the motherboard.




Later I got two minimum brackets from the front block to position the radiator



Simple, clean and effective.



Here's what the case now



And here, in brackets ultimate (I served with corners cut to size), the new "front".



With its panel







Let me know what you think, it is important for me to have a feedback from you

 

Work is under way ..

I also drilled the plate behind creating the bracket for the second radiator 360.
Subsequently, an L-shaped bracket du serving me I blocked the plate the motherboard to the rest of the case
















I leave you with a question, how about a 200mm fan placed under the midplate? (With grid)
