Redemption

[Hero1]

After a lot of thinking, I have decided that I will go with the TJ07 look. I will switch the panels , the current window panel will become the right side panel and the right side panel will become left side panel. I will be cutting the "new" left side panel to make room for the rad guard and window. Yes, I am going crazy here but I love it. I can't wait to put my dremel and jigsaw to work again

So I went ahead and cut the MB tray and everything fits like they should. All that is left is closing the bottom of the case with a new steel sheet and cutting the back of the case so I can fit the power cable through!




Then tried the PSU and bottom rad (the fan behind the PSU will be coming out)

I had issues with the Koolance radiator shroud where the side that the top fan wires were didn't screw in properly. So I had to make some changes. The first photo shows where the problem was and the following photos show how I fixed the problem. I am going to have the case powder coated, but that will be next week on Monday since I have a few things that need working on.

Yesterday I made a PSU cutout so that it will be easy to plug the power cable and exhaust hot air from the PSU. Here's what I did, now I just need to make the bracket and find a 1 mm steel sheet to close the bottom of the case where the rad plate used to be.

That would do but I need to make a cover for the original PSU cutout area too. I'll grab steel sheet and go at her!

Guns a blazin Sir.

Thanks guys. I have been able to get couple of aluminium panels, 2 mm thick that I will use to close the bottom of the case, make PSU bracket and close the back, and make one more rad guard for the window side panel. Tomorrow will be a busy day for me.

Cool, take your time and measure twice. Did you get shelf ? If not, it better be there today or I'll go postal !

I just picked up the panel and I am very impressed. Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it.

Definately some high quality modding going on here.

Great looking build. Following along. Even if I'm not posting as much these days, as I used to. I'm still watching.

I just sold my Audioengine A5+ speakers since I don't need them. We moved to a new place and I have to give up my office/gaming room because we are expecting. Therefore, there is no need to have 2 set of speakers and we still have one set of same speakers in black in the living room for HTPC. I am cutting some pieces and thinking about a new MB and CPU (possibly MVIF and 4770K)!
