Summer time is here, and although I planned to start this mod in the spring a few things got in the way, (mostly Mrs Dubs).

First off a big thank you to all who have been following the lead up to this project log in the case central part of this forum.

It's taken a bit of planning and inspiration, and the input I've had from you guys has been invaluable. Keep up the good work guys, this is where the hard part starts.

this isn't going to be an uber quick project, I like to take my time and see how things develop. Heck I haven't even decided what hardware is going in yet. The only thing decided is dual loop, perhaps triple!!!

Things got underway early this week with a quick tidy of the workshop (apols if these seen before in old thread)

And before you get too jealous of the workshop, take a look at what happens when it rains.

Going to be stripping the case right down tomorrow so shold have some more pics to come soon.

Thanks for taking the time to look.
 
Wow, i feel quite humbled by all the supprt this project is getting. Many thanks to all, and especially to those who have subbed. I'll try not to let you guys down.


OK so onwards and upwards

Case is now pretty much stripped down, didn't take long, but a bit worried that i'll forget where some of the smaller parts go when I come to put everything back together. Still if you didn't have bits left over at the end it wouldn't be a proper project would it :)

A few pictures of the strip down.


Front off and hard drive cage out. Lots of 120 fan placements on the front, most of which have filters.

Front connections wiring loom stripped out of front panel. This is a really nice piece of milled aluminium. almost seems a shame to paint it, but painted it will be.

Right side. HDD bays in top (removed as per first pic) and Mobo etc in bottom section

Top rear section, where the 2 rads will go

Roof from the inside looking up. Perhaps some fans on extract in here?

Taking the Perspex and the locks out, had hundreds of these fake rivets to remove. Came out not too bad, but will not be going back in!!!

Perspex windows out, Rear panel, filters and locks etc removed

Any ideas for colour scheme?

Personally I'm liking the silver that's currently there, but the black doesn't suit it imo :p

Colour scheme is pretty much decided, and as much as I like the grey silver it's just not me. Exterior will be more of an anthracite colour/dark charcoal.

Interior....Well wait and see.

I would go two dual rads and a triple rad at the front :)

And some more if you can fit them... What sort of hardware you gonna be putting in? I would say you could mod it for an SR-2 ;)

Front downstairs there's not a lot of depth so I run the risk of compromising my GPU if i'm not careful. Have given it some thought though.
