Case Mod - What Do You Think?

A HDD doesnt weigh that much anyway - do it it doesnt take long either its just taking the harware out is the annoyance. TBH tho a 120mm fan at the front will probably not show you any decrease in tempeatures at all i would have thought. As there is much air it can push if its connected to a wall.

Do it and show us pics

BTW did you get that fan vent?
 
Yeah, I ordered that fan duct, thanks :) I also ordered some cable sleeving :D

There's is a gap for the 120mm fan already... Also, there is a vent, a small one, but other people that have the case say they have put a 120mm fan there.

My only two concerns are that, in doing this I will not be able to add another HDD as I won't have any space left to put it, and also, when I take it out there will be nospace for me to tuck un-used cables.

Just had a thought, if I kept the cage, I could screw it in again at a later date, right?
 
For me to remove all of the rivets in the cage, I'd have to take the front pannel off, and to do that, I'd have to take both side pannels off, however, I cannot get the one behind the motherboard off... It has screws in the back (exactly like the other side) and it's meant to slide off, but it won't budge, I don't know why.

After looking in the case, I've relised that I'd have no-where to put cables that I'm not using.

I'll see how it looks once I've sleeved the cables...

looking good

Hi,

I've had an idea for a case mod, here it is...

Old PC I know, but it's the case I'm using at the moment...

I want to drill through the rivets int he bottom cage, the one that hold the floppy and the HDD. Would I be able to remove it and how? Also, if I did, would the top cage be Ok, it isn't resting on it is it?

I then plan on buying a convertor to mount my HDD in the top spare CD bay and have a 120mm fan on the front of the case in the gap you can see...

What do you think?

One more thing, I've getting cable sleeving for the PC (see pics in sig) and they only have red, think they'll look Ok?

Thanks! :)

could I have the 3.5 inch bay thing when your done with it I would be perfect for a mod I'm doing on a antec 900

Sorry, if I decide to go ahead and do the mod, I'll be keeping it to put back in if I ever needed / wanted to.

Also, You've got an Antec 900, leave it alone, it's great! OR, trade cases :P I'd be more than happy to do that! :D

black absorbs heat more but also realises it faster once the heats source has gone :)

black doesn't absorb heat more, it absorbs LIGHT more. if i light a match to a black wall it doesn't absorb more heat than a white wall. if i wear a black shirt in the sun it'll heat up faster than a white shirt.
