I just had a brilliant idea. To make the entire cover flip up on hinges. Let me see if i can make a sketch up

Oppinions? (the drawing is not dimensionally accurate. its a quick sketchup )

Will definitely be a good way to work on the thing

EDIT: Will you have the figurine in the corner? Won't that block the motherboards mounting?

AAAAHH Nooo! not the idea squirrel! its too late, its stolen my idea and sold if for profit on ebay.

I was actually considering going for something scifi on this mod, a few stasus chambers and such.

Choo doing in Alberton City?

Prime, it's against forum rules to get to page 3 of a mod log without giving your mod a name, m'kay?

I'm house-sitting in Alberton North at the moment Stu Until Jan 6th

Alberton North? You bring your armoured car with you?

Thats what i did today. tom i grind or file it away. and do the other side.

I also cut off the bits on the bottom inside that are meant to keep the cover in place. Now the cover fits on nicely

Not very clear, sorry it was taken with my phone but those are what i cut off from the base.

I guess i went through 10 discs today

Just look for the church with the rodent problems.

Right, so an update


this evening i started the finishing off on the first side.

One Rotary file and 1 ordinary file



equals to





some places still need a bit more filing, or to be filed. And yes, the paint looks weird cos i rubbed it with sand paper while neatening the edges. But that paint is coming off anyway

Sorrry the third pic is not as clear

Tuesday i'm taking a trip to Greenside mica to buy myself a dremel chuck and a box of cutting accesories.

So here is what i was thinking of for the vents on the sides. (not quite sure how I'd make yet them but i have a few ideas i'm running through my head )



Your thoughts would be appreciated

I just thought of a name: Arson


Yes/no?

I don't think you'll get very good cooling if the slats are angled like that. What fans are in the chassis?

Looks like *****!

Abomination?

a noteworthy post as usual..... the skill involved is mediocre at best....

No thanks, stuart.

Well the psu has a 120mm fan which draws the hot air from the cpu and ram and nb up and out the case and in the process new air enters the case; and then the other side because the gpu cuts the case in two, has 2 fans on the top that will blow air down, rather than up because otherwise the gpu may end up in a low pressure zone. And i'll add a third fan to that.

There is also a fan over the hard drives. But the drives block the air flow quite substantially so it hardly makes a difference.

Right, so after a trip to buy some dremel accessories, including a pack of various cutting disks, a dremel chuck and 2 rotary cutters (a conical rotary file and an endmill ) it was back to the modding:

Holes are now both cut and cleaned and straight. And although its not in the pic, i have begun rubbing the case down for priming

yes we know thats what you see in your mirror...

Now either be helpful or stfu and gtfo!

Dude, please do a sketchup of that, will make it a whole lot easier.

Also, I'm not sure how much pulling power the PSU fans have, as the air has to move through all of the PSU components/wiring...wouldn't count on that one doing all that much cooling.

Right well i'm going to go make you a sketch up then
