My computer build...

[Skillz]

Here is the case modding I done, nothing major; just wanted better air flow.

Here is the front of the case, before.


Here is the front of the case, after.


Here is the side of the case, before.


Here is the side of the case, after. This is the side that would be behind the motherboard, on the right side. (when facing the front of the case) The left side has two 80mm fan holes on the opposite side, as well as two 120mm holes above the expansion slots and the CPU; that I wont be using; for now.


Here is the top of the case, before.


Here is the top of the case, after.


Although I only plan on using two harddrives, the main focus was to push as much air as possible from the front of the system, so I can get good air flow going out the back, pushing (hopefully) all the hot air out the back (and the top)

I got to get some molex splitters though I am sure, because I am going to end up having way to many connections, and not enough places to plug everything in on the powersupply.

For now though, I'm going to use this spare PSU I have to power just the fans while I play with it.

Here is the case with all the fans installed.

This is a shot from the back.


This is an inside shot of the back.


This is a shot of the front, with the front cover removed. I am probably going to hack up the front plastic, to open it up more so I can get better air flow. Still undecided on that.


This is a shot of the inside front. You can see all 6 fans that will be blowing in from the front, over where the harddrive cage is.


This is an outside view of the side.


Shot from the top.


I am pretty sure I will be going through a lot of dusters, especially with a cat. :noes:

I think I am going to paint it.

Wow that looks good, very nice cuts Skillz
I have often looked at those 8cm fan holes on cases and though "the holes are far too small, I want to cut them out"

Im looking at buying an 8800Ultra Graphics card right now, curently I have a 6800Ultra its awesome but new games are finaly starting to slow it down.

If your on a budget, just get the 320MB 8800GTS video card. You can get one for around 200 - 250 bucks, just gotta find a deal.

They are great cards stock, but can easily be overclocked.
