Thanks guys! Im currently righting up the work i have done over the past week, It's still not finished yet so once I have caught up with what I have done so far it will turn into a journal and the pace will slow alittle.

You might be new to watercooling, but you seem like a pro. Great looking so far, big thumbs up over here. Keep us updated with pics!

Far from it! This is only the third case mod I have attempted, 1st was blow holes and cut them by using thousands of tiny drill holes and looked like a termite infestation and the second was installing a window which having bought my Black and Decker actually turned out well.

Although reading these forums really helped me prepare for this project and i would like to take the time to say a thankyou to all the modders who have gone before me as you learn the little tricks and also how to avoid some of the mistakes they made, while making your own and allowing others to avoid yours!

Wow just gained another star!

Thanks for the compliments, If you follow the links it will take you to aqua-comuters website, although it's in german it's quiet easy to navigate around. The case in US was around $190 and although it's a well made case it really could do with more extras like removable cages to justify the price.

I feel insperation setting in! Great cuts with the black and decker, i have the same one, but couldn't make a straight cut to save my life.

Orange Fire. · Apr 8, 2004

hey Practice make’s perfect, I think it all revolves around patience and a steady hand for accuracy.

matttaylor · Apr 8, 2004

my hands are anything but steady, i guess im outta luck.

Sentential · Apr 8, 2004

My...god!

Thats the most professional setup I'VE EVER SEEN

!

Damn....I really need to mod out meh case

fletch · Apr 8, 2004

Looks great. All clean and professional looking, keep it up

Scary_Penguin · Apr 8, 2004

This is really impressive, nice work

I've yet to mod a case yet, but this is just inspiring

I like the Aqua-Computer components, I'm not a fan of kits because I feel they don't tailor to the specific customer, but what you've shown with this company far exceeds my expectations (and thoughts of difficulty!) to watercooling. I may go for the full boat when I build my new PC and get it watercooled too

Technically it is a kit, but if you go out and buy all dangerden then I suppose you could call that a kit too?

Aqua-Computer I think was started by two guys and It quickly turned into a company , you can mix thier products with anyother water cooling product as all the barbs are interchangable. It just worked out that I bought all of thier products for my rig as i wanted a product that went well with the design and layout of my case.

Thanks for all the comments guys .....keep them coming .... I will be showing some of the accidents I have had too and the possible work arounds I did to keep this project looking clean.

Earlier on i was talking about these larger blades that I found at my DIY store for rotary tools. They are perfect for straight line cutting, also If you have the same tool use the flexi arm as this is a whole lot easier to use than holding it in the hand... I never use the main body.

When I start on the window for this case I will be buying some more of these larger blades and I will take a photo of them compared to the standard blades. Another thing you can do is get a peice of scrap metal and practice on that until you feel ready to go at your case.

matttaylor · Apr 8, 2004

Thanks, I'll see if I can find the larger disc's. It Probiably wouldn't hurt to buy the flexible piece also. Mine didn't come with one.

FarEast · Apr 8, 2004

LOL no wonder you can't get a straight line! I can't even take a straight line using the main body, It's like trying to hold on to a nuematic drill that thing jumps all over the place!

I would recommend that you get the flex cable and also a hanger, the hanger takes alot of the vibration out of the main unit and also helps keep the flex cable in order when working. The working end of the flex unit is about the thickness of your thumb and very easy to work with and should help alot with the straight lines.

I tend to select an one area and cut straight through the case without moving down the line you intend to cut, Then now you have your pilot hole and i slowly work down the line away from me... I found it isn't so stress full on the disks and also helps keep the lines straight.
