jpiccolo Posted December 17, 2003 Posted December 17, 2003 well since i cant post all the pics at once, and i cant post twice in a row i have to wait for someone to reply. so reply!!! This is pretty much the stock case and my 2 120 mm mechatronics fans. It will soon be completely transformed into my creation. It was the cheapest full tower case that I could find. Not bad for 45$ shipped. You can really tell how cheap it is once you start messing around with it, the steel is thin and can flex pretty good with little pressure. The case will be reinforced as needed. If I could do over again, I would buy a better case to start with, but being my first water cooled pc, I didn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpiccolo Posted December 17, 2003 Posted December 17, 2003 Here is a shot of the fan mounts being measured up. The holes for the mounts have already been drilled and one circle as been drawn for cutting. FYI 120mm fans are the same size as a cd. I masked off the top of the case to prevent my unsteady hand from messing up to much when dremeling. Here one fan hole has been cut out already. I found it easiest to drill holes all the way around the outside then cut the little parts out. This saves a lot of time for me and my dremel. I really would have liked to use the plasma cutter but I didn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
