Heres my new case that tom has modded for me to start a new build for myself.

Orange powdercoat:drool:

2 X Thermochill PA 120.2 rads and the option to install a 120.1 if needed :drool:

2 loops will be run in it.

1/ Cpu on its own
2/ Mosfet/northbridge and southbridge,maybe the videocard

Top window panel cut out the middle section to make it one big window,was going to fit dark plexi on there but now i think i`ll get some more mesh and maybe fit 2 120mm fans blowing onto the motherboard.

Both side panel have a mesh grill cutout to help with air flo,fitted with dome head black screws.

Rear panel has had the top rear rad barb holes cut bigger so that i can mount the fan inside the case for the rear rad.

On the rear lower 120mm fan hole ive had holes cut to take a 120.1 rad if i feel the need for it.

Power button is being replaced with a black bulgin with orange led ring.

Fans are Ultra Kaze 2000rpm :scared: 38mm and they look the dogs,wires will be braided black.

Had my D5 pump tops modded to take barbs.

Thanks mate

Small update as im waiting on some mesh coming for the top panel.

Rear rad fitted with the Ultra Kraze 2000s to the inside with black wire grills,had to file the barb holes a bit to get them to match up to the case.

Got some XSPC 1/2" Hose to put in the loops,room is tight in this case as its quite small.

Had to cut up my mouse matt to put under both pumps

Looking really nice so far. Subscribed.

What the kaze fans like in terms of noise and airflow? (I have a Panaflo 12cm Medium 38mm deep fan as one of the fans on my pa120.2 atm and it's a bit too noisy for my liking, even at 5v on a fan controller

)

Not had the fans working yet but they will be run @ 7v.

You going to sort out that other t-line mod clone?

misterPK · 11 Apr 2008 at 09:39

Thats a funky little case, looks like there's another interesting thread to watch. I like the idea of using an old mousemat as dampening material, I've got a few freebies going to waste so I might make use of them. Orange seems to be becoming a very popular colour recently, though I'm not sure it goes with your sheets!

PK!

^^ lol.

looks great - anticipating the final result.

Thats the wifes fault

Small update got some mesh for the top panel,was going to get plexi but im going with mesh as it will let heat out,had to buy silver as black was not in stock this will be no problem as i can spray it black later

Cut 2 holes for the Fillports.

Was toying with the idea to have a 120mm fan mounted in the top panel to blow cool air over the motherboard e.t.c good idea or bad??

Azza · 15 Apr 2008 at 14:54

Wouldnt have the fan grill on the top to be honest.

Some clear double sided sticky tape to hold the fan against the mesh. But a black fan may make it look very strange.

misterPK · 15 Apr 2008 at 15:21

I'd agree the grill on the top doesn't quite look right. If you were going for a retro style case then maybe, but on there it just looks like a magnifying glass on a bug cage.

I'd see what the temps are like first and if you need the fan you can add it later.

PK!

Not going with the fan now,gona keep the top clean

clone · 18 Apr 2008 at 16:37

Some more work done today

Mesh now installed instead of plexi window,and top silver mesh sprayed black to match the rest of the case panels.

Fan filters fitted now and black bulgin with orange led ring :drool:
Had to fill the brive bays with a MM plexi plate to clean up the front.

**Picture Removed** Sorry - Rules are rules - no competitors, even if its just a decal

Rear rad with filters.

I can use my black tygon hose for the build.

Need to save some pennys up to finish.

Stelly · 20 Apr 2008 at 13:55

Jokester · 20 Apr 2008 at 13:58

Nice work, the mesh looks infinitely better than the plexiglass.

clone · 22 Apr 2008 at 14:59

Wee update changed the grill`s to Thermochill with mesh on the back sprayed black,also changed the way the lower fans work now to help cool the pumps down the rear blows air in and the front fan sucks air out.

Also fitted some Lian li mesh drive blanking plates.

misterPK · 22 Apr 2008 at 15:10

So you've got the air coming in from the back of the case and blowing out the front? I'm not sure thats the way I'd do things, especially if I was going to be sitting near it, cos it's not that nice having warm air blown into your face!

I do like the look of those grills and blanking plates though, very nice!

PK!
