Project 28:06:42:12

[Denbob99]

Hi guys, this will be my first ever mod, and its gonna be a full case mod I've won this:


Off Ebay, its yet to arrive (still unsure whether i've been scammed) providing I havn't been this will be the project log. The plan is to paint it black, internally mount a WC system along with a 240mm rad and add a large vinyl decal to the side. The decal will be a red Frank head (seen above in black) should be interesting.

Here is the image, i've got it on that paper as a rough size and placement guide for the vinyl pieces, next to that are the vinyl pieces I cut out:

Classic. I don't know why I haven't seen anyone use that mask before.

Its a great film and I would encourage everyone to watch it Get the directors cut if possible, its great.

 

[Denbob99]

Case arrived today at my dads, will inspect it to tomorrow to decide on everything.

 

[inkfx]

This is gonna be cool. I absolutely loved the movie. You got my subscribed.

This thing is going to look great, once finished.

 

[Denbob99]

I have 2 options for the rad, if there is space I will mount it vertically at the front and have it pull air directly in from the outside. The other option is that it gets mounted in the roof. Its possible more options will present themselves once I see the case. Will post pics of the case as soon as I can Stay tuned...

Put it outside it's cold here remembr

 

[Denbob99]

I don't like the look of rads on the outside ;P

 

[Denbob99]

Update! The case arrived and its a beast! More than enough space for everything and it seems to be brand new :S I've decided to mount the rad so it blows air in from the front and then make a hole for a 120mm fan at the back. Still gonna paint it black.

Here are pics of the case (i'm crap with camera ):

Yes great mod.



The movie is...DONNIE DARKO!!!!

I will hijack my friends netflix as soon as we get into the new appt down at school.

 

[Denbob99]

Plan changed ;P Due to the logistics of mounting it in the front the rad will be mounted in the roof. I'll lose a 3.5" bay and a 5.25" bay but meh, I never have more than 2 opticals and 1 HDD. This should help dissipate any heat thats trapped up there and force it downwards into the PSU fan and exhaust fan.

By the way Steve, don't you dare come back to these forums till that film is watched!!!!!!

 

[eternaljammer]

He he, awesome, rad on top, sweet.
