Thank you sir. I wanted the rads to be visible and everything else as well. More to come.

Some more sanding today.. I hope I get it all done with and pain in the weekend. I will make sure to upload pictures of completely sanded case parts.

[Hero1]

Hello everyone. I would like to let you all know that I will be painting the case tomorrow so lookout for an update with some photos.

The painting of the case has to be pushed back a bit due to some inconveniences caused by the front mount. Here is what I am talking about.

[Hero1]

Other than that, I did sand most of the case and put it together. Taking it all apart tomorrow.

Wow, this is a LOT of work with sanding. Looking forward for more pictures of work in progress!

Yeah it has taken hrs and some areas will not be sanded due to the lack of tools that can get into those tight areas. On the other hand, I fixed the issue that was caused by the bottom front fan mount. Cut it off thus leaving me with only one 140 mm fan for intake, but it means the rad will now fit without a problem.



And this is what I am gong to use to mount the PSU. This used to be the larger of the two HDD cages. I have L-shaped aluminium bars that will be used to mount the PSU bracket onto the case.

[Hero1]

The bracket appeals to me but not as much. I might change it later to the original design. However, I have also been thinking about switching the orientation of the bottom rad to TJ07 style and have the PSU right next to it. This is what I mean and the work will be easy to do.

This is tight fit!

Throw that idea out of the window because it will not work due to the cut I made for the window (pun intended) on the left side panel. Simply, to make this work would require me to raise the rad 3 inches from the case floor which means the mid plate might interfere with the MB tray. Whew!

I would have to cut the MB tray and create a mid plate and that should work, but the fact that I have to raise the rad 3 inches from the case floor makes me think twice before I take that route!
