Thunderbird 2 Case Project

Just curious, but is the air being sucked in to the PSU then to the rest of the system? Or are you going to flip the fan?
Apart from that this build looks great

Depends really, i will have a fan on the top of the plastic top, so maybe i will have that pulling air out, will have see how it goes really, hopefully wont be to hot anyway.

I need one with fan on the bottom

Just put it in upside down - like you have to with a normal power supply in an Antec case.

Awesome idea btw, like many here I can't wait to see this when you're done.

I got another psu hehe went for thr 400watt Ocz stealth. Seems pretty quiet from testing it.

My question for you people is:

Can my hard drive be placed here? thinking of any sort of magnetism or anything like that.

Ok well a tiny bit of progress. will see how solid the plaster has set tommorow so hopefully get a bit of the top done.

get 2 fermi cards on the wings, let it fly! fly away with the wind!

Would body filler (car) not be a better finish and easier to work with when it comes to painting? Just an idea.

Awesome idea, awesome build though, fair play!

Ant :cool:

timmymeuk1 · 29 Mar 2010 at 00:53

That's the point, they're thrusters

Woah, awesome project. Look forward to seeing it when finished in all its glory!

timmymeuk1 · 29 Mar 2010 at 18:43

Just wondering if anyone knows where to buy certain paint, like this colour hehe

Also Green 30cm cathode, is £9 ok for 2 30cm ones? its including postage.
I will be making hole into the side of the thunderbird and hiding these out of view

This is going to be epic, I'll be keeping my eye on this one.
