Here I began a project Themed for the USAF Thunderbirds. I am a huge fan of the Thunder birds demonstration team. I probably seen them 10+ times at air shows and while I lived in Las Vegas got to watch the practice all the time.
The chassis I'll be using is In-Wins B2. http://www.inwin-style.com/website/pd/pd_detail.php?iw_lanid=0&iw_name_id=11&iw_pd_id=13
The B2 is themed for the B2 bomber. I know what your thinking, the Thunderbirds do not bombers... well they were part of a bomber squadron some time in the early 50s. I feel this chassis will take the modding well.
A quick video to take a look at to see the door function. (this is not my video, and not my youtube account. give them good stars )
only thing to note here is the red button on the front its not a button its a piece of metal hooked to a sensor and just requires a touch to activate the door. More on that later
(below) the inside of the side panel has a neat duct that can be used to channel lightly filtered air to your CPU cooler. it also has an extension for lower profile CPU coolers and can be adjusted to the left and right.
(Above) The door with the 2 fans for the GPU/s tips down. Its hard to see but there is a push down piece of plastic were the exhost fan and the door meet.
(below) The right side of this door uses a left to right lock.
(Above) once the door is down we can get a better look at the 2 80mm fans.
(Below) one of these fans dose a little trick! though it looks like it would be a tight squeeze for a large GPU if positioned out. I'll get some measurements for GPU fitting later.
