Super Tower **56k Warning**

[newfan1985]

Hi

Just joined the furums... This is taken from another forum i use.

Ok, so i work at morgancomputers... Anyways we're due to move to another store soon.

I Suddenly come across a nice case (well, imo anyways).

So my manager sold it to me for a MASSIVE £10! (RIP OFF )

Yes, it's got green bits in it... Yes, it's not to the best build quality in the world...


Plans are as follows:

2X 80mm

All the green bits (including them little Green grommet things) Will be black (painted inside out). Please note: The side panels will remain White.

All 3.5" HDDs will be bungee modded to the 5.25" bays.

2X PSUS - Cheapo one will be powering fans, Floppy (yea, i still have one...) Optical drive And my volt meter.

My Tagan 580W will power the rest.


Please - if you have any ideas let me know... i will be starting this soon. i have the paint here already it's just a matter of getting some free time and motivation.

Cheers People!


Liam


PS


Case i have now is this one:

Ok, I went out today to get some paint and start on this bad boy...

Please note: I can't stress enough the purple you'll be seeing is not for real! I can see black in real life but my camera can see it as Purple!

Anyways, I went down to Halfords got my stuff came back and started Prepping!

Then Got Painting...

This picture shows a few finger prints... But soon polished them out.

Reflection picture:

Anyways - I also got me some Cable ties from Halfords for the HDDs. So decided to give that a blast too...

They're in fact three rows of these.

...

As shown in these two pictures it's black paint that was used...

Ok - so the paint job that's been done today.

~

I was going to keep the side panels White... But have now decided against that and they'll be black tomorrow.

Plans tomorrow:

1: Paint remaining side panels black.
2: Order 2x Green LEDs
3: Order 1x Green Light
4: Order some 80mm Silent Fans

I'm unsure if i'll move the computer parts over just yet... But this is turning out much better than i first thought.

Cheers

Ok - Got the side pannels done today...

Only thing is this time they've come out a purple/ blue colour for real!

Soooo i'll have to spray the outside next week to get it all Black.

Cheers.

Ok - i'll ask... What do you think will be better for the case.

5x 80mm fans
Or a few 120s / 92s?

**UPDATE**

Ok, so I've now put my stuff into the case... it's very crowded at the moment and when i can be bothered I'll do some cable management.

Anyways, Pics... Taken with my new Fujifilm Finepix S5700

I have to say the HDD mod is very good... they're super silent now!

I used to have one of those cases in the late 90's. I think it was called a 'Juno'. It was very, er, plasticcy and turquiosey looking, so in respect of that, you've done a fine job tarting one up. Nice 1!

 

[PhillyDee]

Looks better than my beige monstrosity. (Mind you, mines black now too . . . i went for Matt black). Well done. Looks the part now!

 

[yantorsen]

nice, you've done a good job.

it looks very top heavy though with those two psu's at the top.

Good work man

You've totally transferred what was a dog ugly case to a quite stylish looking rig.

 

[ChoÞÞer]

[InvaderGIR]

Good work, but I can't help but think it was a waste, the PC7 is so much better...poor case

Why 2 power supplies?

 

[longshanks]

Well done. I like your cable management!! lol

 

[newfan1985]

Thanks for the replies guys…

Cable management does need sorting yea.
The two PSUs, I have them because I can I guess… However they need re-wiring I May get another 580W Tagan soon as I’m after another 2900XT and quad.

I do keep looking at the PC7 as it’s still here… Thinking of modding that now.

Then put my Emachines database rig into the Super tower hehehe…

Juno P6 - I used to have one as well. Mine had two extra holes cut in the side for two more 80mm fans. The metal was solid, but the plastic was tacky.
