To view this case mod, go here.
Specs:
Mobo-Asus P5K-SE/EPU
CPU-E8400@4Ghz stable
RAM-Dominator 1066@1260 5-5-5-14 CR2 timing
Video-GeForce 7300 overclocked (yeah I know it sucks but I really dont game)
PSU-Logisys 550W Transparent
Cooling-Evercool WC-202 w/9 total case fans
HDD-1: Maxtor 80GIG Sata, 2: Seagate 60GIG IDE
Case-Logisys Acrylic ATX Tower
Mods:
Just overclocked as far as the board would push.
Well honestly cooling was a joke in this case. It came with 3 80mm fans with the exhaust being on the bottom front. Now correct me if I am wrong, but doesnt heat rise? Anyway I removed the side and top panels and cut holes for 2 120mm intake fans on the side panel and 1 120mm exhaust on the top panel. I reversed the fan on the bottom front to be an intake fan which actually cooled my HDD's dramatically. I then took the casing off the Evercool system and replaced the fan inside it and directed it up toward the top exhaust fan to remove the heat from the radiator and case. On the second radiator I setup a push/pull airflow on it to remove heat off it and out the back. I tried as best I could to increase the airflow with cable management but the PSU wires were a flat out nightmare, just so many of them and so little room, but it works! All together this was just supposed to be a "budget build" but ended up being a tiny giant. Honestly one of the faster systems I have built, considering the hardware.
