R1P5AW Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 (edited) Well as most of you know I'm in the middle of my HAF 932 build. Well my brother had an Antec 300 laying around and offered if I took him out to dinner I could have it (how could you turn that down?) So after the purchase of 12 boneless wings and a 32oz Dortmunder I found a new case in my hands. Current parts: Bitspower Multi-150 reservoir Black Ice X-Flow 240 rad Laing D4 Pump This build is going to move a lot slower as I'm planning a lot of case mods. Plans include: Black/green theme Side window Inside painted matte black (or kawasaki green ) Cable-management holes Fill-port mounted on top and more..

Jenova69 Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Where do you plan on mounting that rad? Looks interesting, can't wait for more updates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1P5AW Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Where do you plan on mounting that rad? Looks interesting, can't wait for more updates. I'm chopping out the 3.5" bays and plan on mounting it right up to the 2x120mm fans on the front of the case. I'm de-riveting it now and need to get to sanding Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenova69 Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Kind of inspires me to do some modding on my 300. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

R1P5AW Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 what interals are going in this one That's a great question and one may say the most important in a computer build. To be honest I'm not too sure yet. I'm just gonna do a bunch of case-modding to it and then either go i7 for my main computer and give it my old mobo and such or just pick up some older cheaper parts and play around with it.

R1P5AW Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 (edited) After some fun with the drill de-riveting: Now onto sanding and the auto parts store But I'll wait a few days to paint for both warmer weather and I need to cut some holes first..

Queenz Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Why not just have the case powder coated? It will be way more durable than using spray paint. My local shop offers $150 to do it in any color. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizzlenitch Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Why not just have the case powder coated? It will be way more durable than using spray paint. My local shop offers $150 to do it in any color. I'd find it hard in my mind at least to justify a $150 powder coat on such an inexpensive (relatively speaking) case. As R1P5AW noted, $150 vs $20, kind of a no brainer, unless you just have money to burn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And someone else doing it takes all the fun and pride out of it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
