Finished case towering over my tiny uni room
Menacing!
View through top window
Lid removed…
Side view
Dual loops: one for CPU, the other for northbridge and gfx
Rather naked looking gfx card! I’m still not used to seeing it without the massive heatsink attached.
Hard drive/lower compartment access hatch (same on other side).
Behind the front panel, power/reset buttons and front USB visible.
Case put on my desk to get an idea of its size next to my 19″ TFT which it dwarfs. Come to think of it it rather dwarfs the actual desk too.
Rear view (need to get hold of some blanking plates for the rest of those motherbaord slots really)
Pretty tubes
Hard drive access hatch & mounting bracket
And the other side…
Looking in through the hatch. PSU & DVD drive mounting visible. Can also see the hard drives mounted on the far side for a good idea of how open and airy the lower compartment actually is.
Well thats that! All thats left for me to say is another huge thankyou to my dad without whom none of this would’ve been possible.
So what’d you guys think? Not bad for my first modding project i reckons…
looks great man looks like there`s plenty of room in there. maybe if your looking for omething to do now (us modders usually are) keeping it in the theme maybe a full smooth over with body filler.
love they cable managment and how you sectioned every thing into its own areas
wow, that is awsome, and i dont hink i belive tht its your first mod. im starting my first mod soon and u have inspired me to try something much……….more eligent then a moded lian lie. great post
