Hey J0d3r,
first of all, welcome to XtremeSystems, I am sure you will enjoy your stay!! :toast:

That case looks damn awesome, I have the little bro of your case (PC-65B) and have been thinking of what I could do to mod it. I msut say I totally love the new power button section with the litle fan switches, very sleek!

I am thinking of maybe popping a window inthe top of my case with some fans in and maybe make a new side panel window which is smaller so i can have some exhaust fans in there. Maybe also adding some 80mm grills to the front of the case, over the two vents - I held one against one of the vents and it looked pretty sexy :D


Thanks so much for showing us your amazing work, it has motivated me to mod my case :woot:


See ya around!

Alec

Hmm just went to view the movie and got this... "Unfortunately, the link you have clicked is not available."

maybe ya could upload it to the forum or maybe i could pop it up onto my server.

[J0d3r]

Hello!,

Very very very thanks for the welcome Alec.
I`m sure I will enjoy at this forum :).

The PC-65B it`s a damnit sexy case, I like it a lot. I like too your idea about the two grills over the 2x80mm case fans.
Im working now in a similar idea, but based on a single 120mm fan and a 120mm alpha-cool grill. I think that could be nice.

The exhaust fans at side its too a good idea, I think in my mod Ive got a poor ventilation, maybe I should write it in the to-do list :P

Thanks you for the comment, and for offering the hosting, I put the file at "google video", you can saw it here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3390696148765058815

Thanks again :) (and please forgive my poor english :()

[Alec]

Hey again dude


Im working now in a similar idea, but based on a single 120mm fan and a 120mm alpha-cool grill. I think that could be nice.

So your gonna cut a 120mm hoole in the front panel inbetween the two 80mm vents and have a fan mouned behind there?

Sounds pretty awesome! Just got my 120mm fan out and held it against the front, looks beastly haha


The exhaust fans at side its too a good idea, I think in my mod Ive got a poor ventilation, maybe I should write it in the to-do list :P
heh, well might have like two mounted vertically further to the back of the panel so there is some good air flow over the graphics card.



I put the file at "google video", you can saw it here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3390696148765058815

Great vid dude, really sums up the time and effort that you have put into the case, it has definatelly payed off :cool:


See ya around!

Alec

I'm afraid axion's right,

Very nice work btw. Love the little touch you added to the back panel on the inside.

[J0d3r]

Very nice case, clean and crisp look. I am thinking that perhaps your case will look better with uv lights inside especialy with uv reactive dye in your tubes.

Which tools did you use to mod the case?




Bien hecho y saludos de Inglatera:)

[AeroSquid]

great job on the wiring, case looks good

[J0d3r]

Hi,

DFI pit bull: Thanks!!, Ive got some UV catodes inside, but as you said, no dye at all in watercool, I must make sense and use some blue UV dye. Thanks, and saludos ^^

Aerosquid: Thanks too :)

That kind of handles can be bouht in your ordinary homedebot or PA-related shops.

I dont know where he bought it though :)

[J0d3r]

Hi!

The handle comes from a on-line shop here in Spain, in fact I didnt found it at local store in my city, so I bought it via internet (5€ handle, 11€ shipment :nono: )

The light its done with UV reactive blue acrylic that i sanded, and two UV catodes.

Thanks ^^

[OV3RCLOCK3R]

That looks excellent, I love the window and the tribal design:)

[bullit]

Every thing it´s very well done and with good taste(for me off course) the only thing that i really don´t like it´s that awfull gatewatch from Aerocool that seems like a e kitchen clock :toast:

[J0d3r]

yeah, you right, it will be sold soon, and I will put instead:http://www.alphacool.de/xt/product_info.php?products_id=3720&cPath=
black painted :P

[Kizz]

Love the work, the combination of the clean lines and artwork offset with the 'industrial' looking handles and case window is hawt
