needed an exhaust fan...
though the 120mm on the rear of the cause exhausts some of the hot CPU air, i decided this would be better since it will help with the graphics card too and be less restrictive. Took me about an hour, just need a dremel. I always cover up the edges of the hole after sanding with a 1/8" audio cable split along the length with the internals removed...

Looks like a neat and pro job, inflames988
 -- For edging, I sometimes use vacuum tubing from the auto store; works pretty good. I'll try that wire trick one day.

Never thought of using that door trim you mention. Good idea! It's pre-slit and is flat so everything you do isn't 100% rounded. I like it. (plus, it's cheap... not as cheap as vacuum line, but still pretty cheap.)

and here's the inside. the wiring is bad, but not as bad as it could be. 4 SATA hard drives, 1 IDE hard drive, 2 DVD+-RW drives, and a bunch of wiring for my two E-SATA connectors on back, all crammed into an Antec Super Lanboy mid tower...so its not too bad.

here are some pics of a case i bought....
This is an Raidmax Ice Cube case from newegg. This case is very solid and very thick....as you can see from the photos it's well constructed and the bay drive brackets are heavy die-cast aluminum.... this thing is a tank...I modded 2-92mm fans in the floor of the case to blow cool air up the to hard drives....I also plan to have the fire design water jetted into the side panels and then put window glass in... PC pictures

That's an impressive setup. Are you running your new Radeon 4850 with stock cooler? If so, what are your temps? |

Ok I got a Raidmax Sagittarius case with a tri colour 120mm fan at the back, a red Zalman 80mm on the side, and 1 raidmax blue fan at the front. I got a blue orb CPU cooler. I got a Razer Diamondback 3G mouse [Earth Green]. An Antec external light [7 colours]. I got a Logitech rumblepad 2. The creative Fatal1ty gaming headset , the creative T6060 Inspire 5.1 speakers and I got the logitech momo racing wheel. |

Built a new system finally. I used my old Areo Cool Engine ll case. Wanted to get the HAF case but was out of my budget so I compromised. I did a red black theme with my old case. Blue was getting a bit old. I think it looks great. Also added some LEDs that glow behind the doors when their closed. Moved the clear side inside of the panel for a cleaner look. Don't know why areo cool had it on the outside?. I still need to paint the back panel and the top underneath. Also waiting on my sata extention to move my 1TB down from the 5.25 bay area. Let me know what you think.
As for the pictures I took it to my work where we have a photo booth Here she is

I didn't built it for myself, but wanted to built for sale.
It started out as walked to the computer store one day, few years ago and saw a custom built gaming PC for $2,000. It was AMD system with 4GB RAM and skeleton case with no lights... I thought I could do better and cheaper, and I did. I built Intel system with D865PERL, 4GB RAM DDR400, 3.0 Ghz hyperthreading processor and best Radeon videocard. Also had firewire and gizmoz lights... Asked $1,000 + cost of the OS or provide your own. A lot of people looked at it, but nobody ever bought it. I managed to sell just a videocard off of it and that's how I still got stuck with it. http://keep4u.ru/imgs/b/070709/c553f76e3eb30631f9.jpg http://keep4u.ru/imgs/b/070709/3632a9da44000ec190.jpg http://keep4u.ru/imgs/b/070709/d05004fbacff691011.jpg http://s50.radikal.ru/i128/0907/a3/f6b1c4e77994.jpg Last edited by glc; 03-14-2012 at 10:34 PM.
