Thought i'd start a thread dedicated to Storm Enforcer. Will be tweakin it over time so might be of some use to someone

Case suffers from terrible filters, especially on the front where its needed the most. I've removed the grill, wrapped it around in alluminium mesh, and now have mesh, grill and a filter, filter is just a piece of plastic mesh but does the job

Looks much better compared to the standard version. Also i have replaced front 200mm RED 1000RPM led fan for 200mm BLUE 700RPM led fan

I've also made a hole on the side panel for a 120mm fan, which will be updated to 140mm akasa viper and 140mm akasa filter next week, but so far, thats what it looks like

Case comes with a removable hdd case, ssd slot and another embedded hdd case, all were removed for better airflow

Ssd and hdd were moved to the dvdrom bay. Scythe himuro hdd enclosure was used on hdd and akasa bracket was used to accomodate ssd

Case comes with only 1 frontal 200mm fan, 120mm rear fan was removed as its useless. Extra 200mm added on top. Also rear slot is taken by antec kuhler 920 with dual akasa vipers 120mm

Will update on the side door next week

As promised, I've modded side panel

used a holesaw to make a hole for the fan. Also 4 holes for the rubber mounts to go in

secured fan and filter using rubber mounts. used a thin layer of the see through glue on a speaker mesh

After which let it set for 1 min then applied on top of the hole. End result is this

Feel free to comment, else feels like i am talking to myself

idle gpu temps dropped by 10-15c

Looks good, you doing anything else to do?

CivilDrone · 15 Jun 2012 at 15:02

Can't really think of anything else to mod, as everything is in top form now. Might do a psu dust filter mod as the current one is a bit of a joke
