A fix for those darn latchs on Antec cases

[64Thunderbolt]

Hey Everyone...
Iv been asked many times if there is anything we can do about the latchs on the Antec and clone case panel doors.. Here's the answer...

Im going to make adjustments to the size of the window, this was just to show what can be done with the latch.. The door closes just like normal.

I'll be posting "relocating latch" as a service on the web site shortly!!

yea, I know the case isnt the cleanest and I have to move some wires... oh, and the switch for the CC is temporary

for the full tower this would be really cool :)

NICE!

[rugbyroy]

That looks really good. Did it take much work?

[64Thunderbolt]

not much... its programed and ready to go... I can do the latch and make any shape window you might need!!!

[64Thunderbolt]

It works for any size case....

[sandman001]

I am going to do this, but oh no you had to beat me to it!

j/k

I'm actually going to and have been planning to do this.

[64Thunderbolt]

yea, its not hard, but its alot easier with the waterjet!!!! lol

So can you do this for a full tower Chieftech Matrix jet black, put a window in and relocate the handle up a bit so it's by the PSU? not al lthe way at the top tho vcaus it would make it a bit lopsided trying to open the door of that height.

[64Thunderbolt]

Sure, I can put the latch anywhere you want it... These panels are very well made and stiff. The latch seems to work just about anywhere along the same line up or down the panel..
Can you image the window shapes you can do with the latch out of the way !!!

PS.. BTW, the "Liquid Thunder Creations" IS CUT OUT!!!! of the panel.. thats white paper taped from behind

:eek: The waterjet at work....

OK, Iv received a few emails and PM's about how the back of panel looks with the relocated latch. The new hole for the latch looks just like the old hole..

ack, I thought it was stenciled on! lol, but I should have expected that they were cut out whenever Charlie's around, hehe.

Hrm, wish I would have known about reloacting the latch earlier, it's kind of blocking half of my motherboard in my window, hehe.

that was the idea to relocate the latch.. to give more room for other window shapes and to show off the MB and CPU..
Hey, if you cant see the cutom fan grill on the cpu why have one!!!! hint hint

Speaking of custom fan grills on the cpu, when are you going to have some copper ones ready to sell?

[diggingforgold]

Looks nice. Those things always get in the way. I would have never thought about relocating it. :D
