Case Complete

chiLLZ · 27 Jul 2009 at 19:33

This is a modded pc7 case for my i7 system, I have used Lian LI pc7 cases for years because I like them so much. I wanted to modernise it a bit by getting rid of the floppy drive spaces and creating a 120mm fan space at the top and improve cable management. Also the hard drive cage is gone to allow the videocards to get air. The four hard drives are in the DVD drive bay turned to the side.

thanks everyone, the videocard temps are fine now as they are undervolted, i have not seen them go above 90c but when they had the origional bios and i first put them in this case one hit 115c before the system crashed, then i found i needed to cut an air exit below the pci slots because the bottom videocards air exit was blocked because the case does not have enough pci card spaces. also the bottom card gets air from under the case through a filter. - really hard work lol :eek:

There's got to be somewhere to hide that 24 pin cable though.

yeah it does, i am thinking of getting some 1300 rpm yate loon fans, these are 1700, its not too bad though, you can hear the air being forced through the filters at the front more though

yeah thats been bugging me, its too thick to tuck behind the mobo tray because it just bends the motherboard and the tray and the side of the case, also theres just no place with all the hdd cables and gpu power cables. i guess it could be done if the cable was modified with more felxable wires but i hate messing with power supplies. oh well

Impressive! And very tidy!

Hughsy · 28 Jul 2009 at 03:17

I did not even reliase there were 3 cards in your system at first, thats how tidy it looks.

CreAtiv3 · 28 Jul 2009 at 10:20

Im doing somthing similar to an old CoolerMaster ATCS 200 but cannot find any mesh/grill for the front that looks half decent.

Is that the AC Ryan meshx stuff you've used?

jamesgoss · 28 Jul 2009 at 10:23

That looks absolutely amazing, really original

chiLLZ · 28 Jul 2009 at 10:28

I used a sheet of perforated aliminum from here, cant remember which one.
