That is a bloody great mod, excellent looking case!

caeteez · 8 May 2007 at 15:59

Looks brilliant. When do these go on sale Mish!

Jonny L · 8 May 2007 at 16:28

Awsome job Mishima, I hope you don't mind me asking, but how much approximately did the whole project cost you?

Thanks if you can answer the question, im really tempted to get on the bay now and find me a beast.

Yer its aging now but I love it, its never let me down, i thought it died a few weeks ago because it went all slow on me after I gave it a thrashing with orthos but within a couple of days it was fine again, its a bit like Herbie I suppose

Server cases for the win

Well I used

£25 (£5 each) x5 paints inc. varnish
£4 - mesh
£10 - x2 Yate Loons
£8 - x3 Fan filters
£3 - HDD bracket
£10 - Akasa card reader

There are probably other things that I have missed out, but roughly it would cost you:

£50-60

Well worth doing, I would research into the paints a bit more if I was going to do it again as I would probably prefer to use a gun next time.

Thanks a lot guys for all the nice comments, I appreciate it.

mishima · 9 May 2007 at 12:31

Took a few more pictures as I sorted out the dim Yate Loon with the expert help of w3bbo and Delvis asked for some interior pictures

If that was mine I would have a stinking great window in the side, but thats just me!

Pulse · 9 May 2007 at 16:10

you know that case is just asking for a large amount of watercooling

2 120.2 rads maybe?

malfunkshun · 9 May 2007 at 16:16

his case is about the same size as mine, so it would take 2*240mm rads if you either move the bottom drive cage or use the 5inch bays with adapters

Thanks mates

your comments are overwelming really appreciate it.

I was hoping to post up some temperatures but I seem to be reporting Orthos errors when I load the system which is worrying me. I'm sure I will sort it soon enough.

Starzy · 10 May 2007 at 10:55

Amazing job mate, I'm not really into things like this but for some reason your project opened my eyes a lot more. n1 dude

mishima · 10 May 2007 at 13:17

Ok I have managed to sort out the problems I had. I can now show you the temperature improvements I am now experiencing (E6600 overclocked to 3GHz). In my old Akasa Zen I was reporting 36C idle and around 50C loaded:
