Hi all,
I've been bitten by the case mod bug again, I started a project in 2006 because my bro said it couldn't be done. (I proved him wrong)
It all started with two EYE-T cases, which I wanted to fit water cooling into.
This was my first build and I learnt a lot from it.
There was no way I could fit a loop and rad into one case so I improvised!
Case A:
I removed the drive bays, motherboard plate and back plate.
I cut holes for 80mm fan and fill pot on the top of the case.
I made and fitted a mounting plate for the rad.
I inverted the motherboard plate and back plate (placed it on the left hand side)
Case B:
I removed the motherboard plate and back plate
I then bolted them together, made the front panel, back panel and the top panel.
I then sprayed it yellow which pealed so I sprayed it with silver hammerite which didn't set so in the end I had it powder coated.
TIP: Check oyur local phone book for powder coating.
I spent £20 on yellow paint (Didn't work)
I spent £20 on hammerite (Didn't work)
I spent £30 on having it powder coated (looks mint worth every penny)
