Hey pals !
I've got a nice case a few weeks ago, and started modding it to fit my current comp :
P4 2.8 + ABIT IC7
Radeon 9800 Pro
2 * 160 GB Maxtor SATA hds ( soon to be bought )
Antec TruePower 550W ( good old one, but works great and whisper class noise )
+ couple of 5.25 drives and crap
so here's the beast !!
It's a Dell Poweredge 2300 case, used to house a dual PII 400 setup, SCSI all around the place, but I got the case empty, and since I like the looks & it's big enough to fit all my hardware and watercooling components, I decided to give it a nice overhaul.
First is making it ATX compatible ... Dell thought it would be a great idea to fuck things up and design a backwards mobo, so I kinda had to cut a new back plate out of aluminum pannels I had for years.
there's the replacement pannel next to the former one. I'll finish that back plate when I get the removable tray I ordered from mountainmods - I'm lazy, but building removable trays is a pain in the ass ... especially for PCI slot openings.
neway, next will be some modding to fit all the watercooling rig inside ( dual 2*120mm Blacklords, Aquatube ( shown on pics ), waterblocks for CPU, vid card & northbridge, dual CSP-750 pumps from C-Systems I should receive in a week or so.
Finally, I'll do a complete custom automotive paintjob with high resolution onclear vinyls ( inserting vinyls inbetween clear coatings ) kinda like those displayed on : www.tekido.com
This said, I'll looking forward to your (positive?) comments
