Morning
I can finally say that the case is done. Not a lot of modding but made it much better. Although bulldozer was a massive disapointment and not worth switching from X6 i am still going with amd for now. Considering Ivy in the future.
Anyway, here's what i've done and how it looks now, will upload a vid in a bit:
Front of the case - iCage and Coolermaster SycleFlow with Silverstone Fan Grille and Filter, also Fan controller. Also stuffed sides with foam like material that you get in thermalright fan boxes, pinched this one from tescos
Side with the case closed, added 5MM light tint acrylic Perspex window:
Thats the side with panel off:
GPU side of things, custom grills:
Bottom intake, made a hole for 140mm fan:
Rear and PSU (Akasa PowerMax 850W), which was replaced by Akasa Viper 1600 PWM and connected into CPU and not the PSU:
HDD side, which is based on iCage:
Sinks which are thermalright, HR-05 IFX Northbridge, HR-09S Mosfets, Ultra-120 eXtreme Rev.C CPU:
Wires at the back:
Panel, had to cut a bit off in order for wires to get through:
And thats basically it, feel free to comment, would love to improve it if possible, cheers
