welcome you guys.
here i am going to post some pics of what i changed in my case. i bought a premod case because then i didn't know anything about modding en stuff.
now its a year later and this is what i did.
(some things are done in the beginning, some today)

i removed the grill of the intake en outtake.
ugly, flow limiter





i put some custum 1.77" rims under it



so now more up to date pics.

here we go, the standard sidepanel goes ATI




so when i was thinking to put my watercooling back in my case, and some decent cooling wanted. lets put that radiator in the top of my case.
but i wanne have a good flow so build an fanduct like the coolance cases on it.



after some sawing this looks allready better.



plexi with 2 x 80mm holes in(plexi is now sanded, and non cracked )



so this is the rad i am going to use in my WC





k, the rad need some place in my case, so use the jiggysaw and make a FAT hole


inside pic


after lots of vile work, this is the result


the duct has to mounted on the case so little profiles must be mouted( tec7 was not good so i used the "poprevet")





then the cutting of the place where the rad is going to be mounted.




so the ATI logo must be cut out too
some preparations first



looking good so far








so to have a nice effect, i am going to use some plexi (dont be scared, its going to be sanded)



so this is the result og the sanded plexi



lets put a light behind it



ps=> after the cutout, i figured out the logo whas upside down :grin:

so what now :grum:
i had a solution

cut out the cutted logo and turn it upside down
oke here we go



looking good so far, i am convinsed its going to be good



i know it, it is done, just some perfection must be done



hold it still simon :grin: , i 'am making a pic (looks cool, don't you like it )







so now build in that rad, some tec7 wont let any air trough







this is something that come's in handy sometime i think



now you prolly know that hdd's get HOT :grin:
so lets cool them a bit of with a 120mm fan

now these are all pics of my case, but there is also something important to show.
the cooling in my case

the drawing of the going to be milled out block



some pics of the milled block





lets heat this baby up



tinned and ready to close this baby



tight and polisched up (some liquid"pakking" left on the connections, is going to be removed)



we didn't have the hole day to polisch the blok because i have a deadline (thuersday)


my friend "simon" did a good job (tnx man)



my x800 xt ask's cooling too so let's satisfy him too.(this block has cooled 9600pro,xt, 9800 pro, and now the x800 with a 50w plet on it, next week an 90 w so )



the mirror polisching is for next time




hope you enjoy it

update tomorrow

Looks mighty cool now with the line around it
Keep up the good work

kristos

that ati logo came out really really great

and you're rad and block look the works too I don't know howcome but whenever I see brazed and copper tubed wc settups, it just screams "performance"


I'm very much interested in the finished setup, both visual and performace wise.


nice work indeed

it's good that you mistaked yourself and put the ATI logo upside down. The way how you fixed it makes it look much cooler

Bosw8er

Great work !

Looks you had some quality bricolage time !

well if anything, it's not your cooling holding you back
