My SuperLanboy Case Mod (Pics)

I'm not sure about you guys, but the window on my Lanboy scratched really easily. So i went about replacing it. I decided to use mesh aluminium this time though.

Very tidy, mate.

Well done mate, looks very nice!

Nice one dude. bet that helps with air flow and case temps currently!!!

Like the fact you have used

Metal fixings on the mesh
Trim for the fan
Alloy fan
The fan block thing (forgoten name) is perfect

Only thing is the white nylon plasticc 2 bit holding it on

They are the standard case ones
Clear fan
Standard fan guard (which I suggested

)
They are rubber mounts to lower vibration and noise

I'll stop answering for Benjo now

Lol thanks guys

whats the noise levels and temps like now? looks great

benjo · 24 Jul 2006 at 21:35

I cant really compare the noise levels at the moment, had to RMA my arctic freezer

But the noise is a bit louder yeh. Temps on the NB have dropped about 5c, and the graphics by about 3c. But my graphics card isnt in the line of airflow, but when i get my pci-e card it will be

CPU is around the same temps as it was with the arctic

Nice, that look really good. i bet it would look good with the lights off and some cathodes inside.

Did you use springs to hold the mesh?

Nah, the delivery came earlier than expected, so i popped down B&Q and use some felt sticky pads, then just screwed through them

Looks very nice. Out of interest how much was the mesh you used?
Has anyone ever seen that honeycomb style mesh in the UK?

Nice work, might have to try something similar

The hole lot cost me £28

£16 for a 500x500mm mesh panel, £9 accousti fan, then the extras like the rubber screws, rubber edging and fan grill

nice work man

benjo · 24 Jul 2006 at 23:00

The only thing i'm annoyed at though, is the definate line going across the center in the mesh. It isnt bent or anything, so i dont know what it is :confused:

Most of you probably wouldnt have noticed if i didnt point that out
