Thought id show you what ive been doing with myself this afternoon.

Was fairly straight forward, the only bit that caused me to have a smoke break was the edge trim as took forever to get it seated round the curves.

All in all im very impressed that I did it and didnt write off my side panel.

Ive read in some peoples instructions that if you dont have a jigsaw to use a dremel to do the whole lot, dont do that !, I cut about 10cms with the dremel as I didnt have a jigsaw then realised things are going to get messy and a bodge was very highly likely, so a trip to B&Q it was for a jigsaw.







 
well done my friend! im impressed ! looks like you did an excellent job. extra kudos for doing it yourself and not sending it away for someone else to do it for you like some so called modders do! you're the real deal !!!
 
Just out of intrest how are the temps on your GPu's/case since removing the side fan? Looks amazing :D

Note: I cant stop looking at that new window! Makes the case looks 10 times better! Id love to get that case and do that my self! (knowing my luck id **** it up and waste £100! lol

beofre doing this mod i ould have all case fans running high, it was audiable but nothing too bad, the ati's are on a fan profile and never get about 45%

since the mod i have turned all case fans to low, ati's are still on same profile.

as for temps the cards idle @ 27 top 29 bottom, cpu is at 33 34 36 33. with this mod i can only say that the temps have dropped by 1 or 2 degrees ( with fans on low as appose to high )

if you have an antec and want to do this mod, do it, s long as you watch tjharlows youtube vid and follow his directions you CANT go wrong.

+1 I did this back when i had a 1200 and tjharlows youtube vid was my inspiration aswell. I like this mod for the 1200, simple but effective
