Here is my ongoing case mod. I'm putting together a couple of CM Elite 330, creating one full case housing the mobo/HD on one and the psu, water cooling rig for the cpu and the Nautilus for the gpu. Here are some pics.



I took off the cdrom drive bay/hd bays and reduced the cdrom bay to this.


With the hd bay, I cut it to size for the 4 raptors, and used the same material from the cut off to create this.


This will house the h20 rig and PSU.


The Nautilus rad will go here, the rez will be taken out of the loop and replaced with a fill port.


Now, with the front panel, I'm inclined to use the same ones with a bit of modding to make them fit together because it is easier to do, but if anyone have any ideas it will be greatly appreciated. On the hose connections I intend to use this type of connections http://www.hothardware.com/image_popup.asp...ticleid=789&t=a between the blocks and pumps/rads for ease of use when taking either the gpu or the cpu block off the mobo. Interior will be painted black and maybe some lighting too.
Thats it for now:)

I took the Nautilus apart and will take the rez out of the loop and will integrate a fill port instead.

Both of the cases have been riveted together and done some priming on the interior.

I know its been a while since I updated but here is the final product. Its not the prettiest but it will do for it is my first case mod and I plan on modding my other case too.




I have the Gigabyte P35 DS3-R on it right now and I am trying to see if I can take the e6600 further than I had with the 975.

good start Voltes! As far as the front panel goes, I'd fill in the gap in the middle with bondo and paint it all... the rest looks pretty good, I like the mesh... oh and maybe bondo over the unneeded power buttons and LEDs etc... unless you plan on using one of the switches to control something else...

NICE! cube case on the cheap!

very nice, any more pics with some more light perhaps?

wow, it looks like you said 'screw the front panels' lol looks good, better than my first case mod... Probably a good thing I don't have a single picture of it! lol

Where did you find those two sweethearts? Very nice! I'm surprised that you're still alive man! Good hearing about your mods, i knew you would never stop.

Nice. Very nice :cool:

Good job; got links to a worklog?

I'm also working on my first mod ATM; hope you like yours as much as I'll enjoy mine.

No man, sorry, I did not have time to do a worklog. This things was done in a hurry. I have been following your project and mine compared to yours, mine would be in the elementary level and yours is way above that. I am excited to see the final product.:nod:



Thanks for the comments guys. There's one thing that I have been looking for, see this picture here of the Nautilus? On the bottom left you can see the quick connect/disconnect between the hoses. I was trying to find something similar to those so I can put them in between the cpu waterblock and rad/pump. It works great with my gpu block. It makes it easier to remove the components if you need to remove the mobo. Any help from you guys will be much appreciated.

Looks great, I love cube cases, sorry about the pics.

No problem dude, but for some reason that one pic is odd. I guess the resulution is flip flopped around like 8x6.
