antec 900 cable management

[evulboo]

Was getting pretty hacked off with the cables and the amount of dust the antec 900 collects.

So today as i had nothing planned i got out me old tools and got chopping.

Not finished yet as still to come is a new corsair 850w, antec kuhler 620 and some edging trim to finish the holes.


The psu hole was cut over size to accommodate the corsair when it arrives.

what do you mean by cpu lapping? and what is the purpose?

sorry i'm a noob at modding.

most cpu's will have been made with a slight concave or convex finish so using wet n' dry sand paper start from 400grit and working through the grades to 1500, you get rid of any imperfections and get a flat finish.
