My Project For The Summer!

good guess lol not bad considering its free :) and very user friendly :)

I was thinking about buying a swiftech kit or the cooling, is the radiator best outside of the case or would it be possible to mount it inside? will it geet to hot in the case?

How are u going about it? are u making a door? what thread is your case in? thanks :)

I like the PSONE idea looks a bit tricky, but its a mint idea! u can get them for £28 aswell :) dammit i cant wait for uni to finish so i can get stuck into this!

I'm not making a door for mine, don't think I'm going to have a window either as my case sits on the floor and not the desk - so its out of the way. Here is mine: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17706343
 
cant understand why no one has suggested using a hole saw to cut the holes, would be much easier than hacking away with a jigsaw and dremel.

hole saw and some sand paper, job done
 
ive looked on the web but i cant find a hole saw big enough :( i dont know if they make them with a 20ish cm diameter, so i might just have to use a dremel god knows how many blades i will go through! :S im gonna make the make the metal trims out of the panels off an old aluminium case :D also butchered power buttoms and the usb plugs to :)
so my next steps are.

1) Remove any unwanted stuff from the case and remove the drive bays.
2) Take off the front and measure up for the metal for the door.
3) Take a dremel to the side panel for the windows and find some window material.

Im having a few issues tho, can i mount a pump at the top of the case?, thee motherboard will take up most of the bottom, and the only space i can see is at the the top above the psu hole :S and do you think it will be ok to cut a hole out at the bottom out of that front pannel, it looks pretty strong, just so my windows wont be blocked?

i think two are 92mm and an 80mm. I payed £10 for it :D Already started removing the paint and half cut 1 of the circle windows, proving rather difficult with a dremel.

I paid ten for mine too, about 3 years ago hehe. Looks great that case for working on. See theres the difference, you are straight in there and already working on yours I still haven't started :mad: I will have to this weekend!!
 
lol u should! i need to get some of the stuff so i can measure out the holes on my new front panel. Yeah it doesnt look to bad, i need to cut a hole in the front where the two fans would go, as im putting windows there and it would spoil the view :)
 
ive got my dad on the case, he works as a maintenance engineer at a grain store, and they have lots and lots of sheet metal :D so ive ordered up some 2mm steel, which if i ask nicely will be cut to size :)
