Hey all, wanting to do some light modding to the 650D when it becomes available to me.
I would like to stick the Koolance 2x140mm Fan Radiator Shroud on top of the 2x140 slots on the top, but I worry the actual mounts for it will stretch beyond that of the holes provided. I'm not too keen on drilling to many extra holes, but it'll help with space and airflow on the inside, so I see it as being worth it.
I'm also putting in a Silverstone 5.25"-3/5" drive bay in the 3 lower 5.25" bays, leaving the top one for my BluRay drive. This bay holds 3 hard drives and includes a 120mm fan and I will be replacing it with a Bitfenix Red 120mm fan. This fan is taken into account in the airflow diagrams.
Here I have a few diagrams to help show what I mean, including airflow directions:
In the pictures with the cover on, you can see two 140mm fans next to the window. These are to help cool the hard drives.
In the pictures where the cover is open and you see a fan behind the CPU hole, this is actually a fan mounted on the outside of the back panel. It pulls air from underneath the motherboard and pushes it out of the case.
I would have done this in Google Sketchup but the 650D wasn't available, and I'm very new to Sketchup in general so I couldn't just make up a new model.
Let me know what you think, I'd particularly like to know about how the Koolance 2x140mm rad shroud will work.
