I current have some icute thing, Imach white case from some high st shop. Look ipod style with a side window.

Just wandering if i can chnage the mobo layout and back plate around. Currently psu is at top etc etc

I wana do it so psu is at the bottom and you vewi into the case via the left not the right...

Will need to take back of case off and rotate over and remove mobo tray and refit....just a case of drilling and re riverting right/??
 
May be a bit more complicated than that, is not worth it at all either really on a case like that.

The work you would need to do would be huge, much much quicker to turn it upside down :p

(I am being serious, turn it upside down and mod the bottom and front panel to look good :))
 
You got it to fit in the top, so it now fits in the bottom ;)

Just put it on raised feet to acomodate the rad, or buy a proper case ;)
 
No no no, i want to fit it in the top of the case right now in the 5.14'' bays going along, but need to move my psu to do so so i thoguh if i swap the back plate round and the tray it will work right!

This is a tempry case till mine is made and is a proper custome case.
 
Current case made by Icute and i belive the same layout is used by many other case manafacutres. This is what i wana do

PA120.3 in the top

Remove mobo tray and back of case and turn the back upside down and move mobo tray to the right hand side of case :ie:- look in from the left as to right

The above will put psu at the bottom.

Remove the 3.5'' stack for the floppy and HD drives. This will allow more room for stuff and my pumps

Elastic suspesion for my HD below the DVD drive in the 5 1/4'' bays

Thing is it's looks easy, drilling out of rivets and re-riverting the stuff back in place.

Need someone to drill my top to fit the rad as i havent the tools to do so.

This is all a temp soultion till my new new case is made and will be dead handy to have for a spear pc that im going to build.

^ de riverted and new layout

Need to drill 6 holes to get it all back in and then go round and rivet the *ahem* outta it.

Always handy to have old kit for this kinda thing. Rad will sit infront of pci cards, lucky i dont use any!!! Think it's gonna be pretty cool like.

Yet to remove the 3.5 bay but im gonan go do it now

Edit: 3.5 bays gone and wow looks so much better now, uber happy with it.

Tomorrow should start the riverting exercise then checking all out then the task of trying to get the rad fan holes drilled!!!
 
Had to get the mining gold ''bling bling'' thing a si blew up my osu when i made the jump to 4.2ghz!!! Now i have a lovely PC+P 510 and it's going under modding to make it silent

Taking the gold lump back today as it goes to get me £40 back
