Hi guy's
Just started on my A30 closed loop cooler case mod, so i thought id post some pics of wip.
First off i cut the off the 3.5 cradle bay shown in the picture, sorry its not an original picture as i cut it before taking a picture
The bits that i cut off,
The areas that have been cut will be smoothed out an sprayed the same cooler to give it that smooth finish.
Next is an old closed loop cooler ( not the one i will be using in final build) and a cut peace of cardboard for the mobo.
I used these just for a rough mock up to make sure the rad would reach.
Il be having the rad in push an pull, on the inside il be using a Venom 25mm and on the out side of the case il be using a Scythe "SLIP STREAM SLIM" 12mm.
The out side fan will be covered by one of these to give it a cleaner finish.

Im also thinking about putting a 120mm Venom at the front for intake as i now have the room now part of the cradle as been removed.
Il post more over the week end as i do more
