NZXT Tempest modding

[Prime]

So I finally cot the lasto component for my SB build today. A bracket!! Exciting huh? And I promised Earthdog I'd make a build thread just for him.


Here we are all broken down.


Just for this


Measurements for a CPU back plate cut out.


Fast-foward about 15 minutes and we have a nice new hole sans directions for Flex ATX boards. Do they even make them still?
Also I was planing on making cut outs for a few extra things and paint the interior of the case but i ran into an issue for the cpu power cut out and figured itd be better if i did it after I buy a rivet gun so I can do it right.


Bracket installed



I thought these looked pretty, readyfor new thermal paste.


On his way in


All Wired up and ready to go



And there we have it. After I get a rivet gun Im going to do another break down and paint the cage and install the NZXT led rope I won here at Overclockers.

Thanks for looking guys!

Looks good Am a big personal fan of NZXT products. That cutout will save you lots of time when doing upgrades.

I have a NZXT alpha which has the same side fan design as yours. I though large heatsinks like that didnt fit without removing the side fan...

I've been thinking of doing that to my case. Makes it easier to work with. Very nice job!

Thanks a bunch guys. Its very much a measure twice, cut once sort of project. Although I still dont know how im going to get the cpu power hole cut.
