I don't see your error, but I am curious about the long grey thing at the bottom of the case...

The long grey (brown-haven't painted yet.) thing in the bottom is a house floor heat register that I cut in. It's not hard getting good air flow out of this thing but there isn't a lot of room for air to come in so with that on the bottom and adjustable,I can get any amount of incoming air I want. I'll add about 2'' to the bottom both in height for flow and width for stability and that will be good to go.

Looks like you are missing some 5 1/4 drive bay covers.

I didn't think any one would spot it because of this cheep camera but with the guess going to drive bays, I have to show mercy. The panel has been off for quite a while and I could mount it the way I wanted so I mounted it 180 degree's out so it would blow onto MCP & GPU. I reversed it and that putt the fan on the bottom moving 1 1/4in from the top of he HS fins to the bottom! OOPS! ![]() That could have been bad-relay bad. I've found it's difficult to work with material that has been cut out! ![]() But I can remove some of the material just below the fan, and should be OK. @robbie If I'm getting you correctly-you are in reference to the top front. There I've taken 3 bays and installed a 120mm Blue fan for exist. Layered blue wire holds cheese cloth. I still have three 5 1/2in bays to work with. There is also the other HOD enclosure I could hang-4 more! of what? There is a BLK DVD Burner-a blk memery card reader/righter, and below that is a Blk fan enclosure for a 90mm.

I just got the plexy molded. sorry I forgot to take my camera with me but this is what i did: Plexy was rough cut to fit the whole panel. I put in enough screw holes to secure the strategic spots. I didn't want to do them all yet, Didn't know if this would work! I used a propane forced air space heater. Close buy was a 2x4 block that i had rounded the edges with a !/2 in router. With a prayer on my breath, I put the panel about 1 foot from the heat, blowing directly on the area of the HSF. about every 10 seconds or so I would flip 180 degrees. About two minutes could see the plexy starting to warp so I brought it up and placed it on the 2x4 and applied pressure. I now have a well formed edge rounded rectangular bubble that fits my HSF!!!! ![]() ![]() There is still a lot more to do and even a couple of hurdles that might not let it fit. BUT IT WILL FIT! ![]() I'll send a couple pics tomorrow- _I'm to tired now.

I tried to get some shots but i couldn't get any shots that would show the bubble. I'm going to start the finish cutting. The steps that have to be done now will take about 3 days and I can sit down to do most of them. I'll be able to take some progress pics. There is one small hurdle. On the back edge, when I stretched it over the mold, a small portion of the back edge curled up. I didn't notice till I got home-I've got that to figure out-but I will. Time to go to work!

What case is it, out of interest? It looks like a LianLi, but I could be mistaken.

This HSH is the one thing thing that has never fitted. I'll never be without a full tower. If I wanted a LAN machine- a milk crate works perfect. With the parts there, I can do a build like that in about !/2 hr. Velcro and wire ties rule! Another milk crate to Cary keyboard, joystick, game sand a cold one! It's all grab and go!

Here are a couple of rough install shots- Needed to see if mold was adiquite-and if it would fit all to gether!! Went in like a charm.. Now it's tome to take it off, file the openings and apply the black trim and black screws =paint is matched the same. I have two card readers and and going back in and there is an exrernal intake fan in the middle and an interna 1200mm ![]() Geting close! ![]()

Well, booman, it's not 100% done but the rest is minor stuff-Straiten out the cables agian for a mor perminent configuration. Re arange some fans, but , this is what your designs evolved into. It's about as complete as it's going to get for some time to come-Thanks for the ideas- I like it! I owe ya! ![]() ![]()

![]() Way too much work for me...I would look at it & just see PAIN as my back would have been killing me the whole time working on it. ![]() I would have looked on Newegg & got a new case like an Antec 900 that everything easily fit into without having to mod it much like my current case. But that's just me... ![]()

100% correct, Muff!n, except for one point. I knew I had to have projects That I could do after surgery. So I lined up a few,not knowing what my limitations were going to be. Mareen ROTFL after I told her I could buy a kit for and the amount of hours I spent on this-but she also knew tha I had to stay busy. 90% of this i could do sitting down but Even so I might have done a littlle damage. And yes it put a stress on my back, But do you remember a clothles lin you put in so you could get something for your rig? Layed you up for a few days if i remember right. At this stage in my mental facalties I can't watch T.V. or read books, or the ovious, doing something physical. I Am blesse to hace my computer & a couple others a month come i fo me to fix-I'm busy w/o doing * to much* to put strain on my back. I know myself pretty well in this regard-If I hadden't lined up projects that I thought I could do-I'd just do something else w/o planning. That would not have been good! ![]() If i did a little damge-it's minor. a litle syatic pain in the rt leg on occasion. nothing I can't handle-so all is good in the world-Except my bencmark scores!

![]() God Yes, I remember the cloths line! It gets used now every summer instead of the dryer. But it was worth it to me as my computer is running smooth & cool! ![]() I guess the same holds true for you on your case project. The reason I don't like "Projects" is that ever since I was very young my Dad or my Mom ALWAYS had projects that they did & ALL of them included me!!! (For free of course) ![]() I very quickly learned to HATE Projects!!! ![]()
