Here's my first case modding attempt. Wish me luck! I'm kinda playing it as I go, but I had a few things in mind, WC for one and the placement of equipment, but I'm sure some things will come to me as I get in the later stages.
It will also be painted.
I'm going to number every picture so it's easy to reference if you have a suggestion or comment.
And btw, I don't have 3 arms, my dad is doing some of the work so I can take pictures of the process, but I am doing most of it. I just wanted to get pictures of the actual n00bie techniques I used for this project.
Here's the before and what I'm working with:
#1
Stripped down:
#2
#3
#4
The Gear:
#5
Let's get this show on the road!
First off, I want to turn my 80mm top exhaust into a 120...
The PSU cage was going to be a problem because the fan will not fit in between the gap. Don't worry about the cut in the top of the cage already, I was experimenting with a dremel bit, lol.
#6
Next...
#7
Now the cutting process starts.
#8
Remember to measure! I didn't show that pic but it is measured to the center here!
#9
#10
Sorry about the blurriness, I didn't have my DSLR on me. Future pics won't be so bad!
#11
#12
#13
Remember to get squared up!
Obviously what we are doing here is getting the hole's centered, we mark them and drill the holes, I didn't think it was necessary to picture that.
#14
#15
More to come, I have most of the radiator done, but I'm really tired of image codes and want a little bit of feedback before I start posting more.
Thanks!
