after installing my 9450 and new cooler

and the previous incarnation

Excuse the carp phone pics.

MATX board is temporary till my Asus board returns from the land of RMA.

Cable managment is terrible I know, I need to get a modular PSU and sort it out, no Hdd bays makes this a difficult task was much neater before I went down the water route.

Will have to post a pic of my old set up for now, but I'll take a new pic soon (I have a different mobo, PSU, GPU, and ram now).

koolpc · 20 Dec 2010 at 20:20

300 is a great case. Nice pics

C.K · 20 Dec 2010 at 20:58

I really want to watercool this rig with a triple radiator sometime soon!

Frozennova · 20 Dec 2010 at 21:00

Theres no where to go with a triple, you can get a double at the front though if you remove the HDD bays

C.K · 20 Dec 2010 at 21:02

I was planning to drop my dvdrw down, and mount the triple rad at the top inside...

Then install my HDD under the dvdrw, remove the hdd cage sides and install my res and pump there

Frozennova · 20 Dec 2010 at 21:27

Sounds like a better plan than my way using a dual bay res/pump. Oh well I now know I can fit a 140.3 in the roof when I see fit.

C.K · 20 Dec 2010 at 21:44

I don't think a 140.3 will fit? I 120.3 definitely will though.

YoungOzzy · 20 Dec 2010 at 23:56

Very nice C.K. did you just paint that case and install the gromits yourself ?

C.K · 21 Dec 2010 at 00:19

Thanks!

I got my case powder coated inside & out matte black.

Yep, I used a 25mm bi-metal hole saw and then used grommets to line the hole.

Cheers

How much did you pay for Powder Coating?

blitzyuk · 21 Dec 2010 at 02:32

The latest pic of inside my case, hard to take as its under my desk and a bit of a squeeze

modded front

Before i moved house so now under desk.

koolpc · 22 Dec 2010 at 00:49

My top case.

C.K · 25 Dec 2010 at 15:01

Although I am pretty sure I could make a 120.3 rad fit in the top of my 300, I have decided to go with mounting the radiator externally on top.

I have some ideas in my head how it will look, and plan to start modding my case again when my radiator arrives.

Can't wait

Just wanted to ask.

Do you notice much difference in the noise with that noise dampening kit installed im thinking of getting it.

Muel · 12 Jan 2011 at 08:32

This must be the hundreth time of posting this pic, but I'm going to post anyway.

I chopped down the 5.25" blanking plate so it's flat, then stuck it to the optical drive to hide it, removed the HDD bays, suspended the HDDs reverse mounted in the empty 5.25" bays to hide the cables, chopped loads of holes in it, and used the casing from an old PSU to create a cable hide box thingy. It also has Xigmatek White LED fans, 2x120 in the front and 1x140 in the roof. (They look orange).

Nope...it's ******* useless.

I got the dampening kit for free though, so I can't complain too much.

Save your money mate
