finally, was able to squeeze an update on the project. been working on something that i've been pondering about for sometime. got the idea first time from xs a build by alex of petra's tech shop and another one done by elusid, they called it paraflow. cool air goes into the front of the case and the 2 rads mounted adjacent to the intake would be exhaust. this setup would allow the cool air to be pulled between the 2 rads and hot air will be exhausted at the sides.

borrowed graphical explanation from coolmiester (in alex's build log)
but for my case, instead of using the front... i've decided to get it setup at the bottom.


anyways, for those with weak heart for silverstone cases being 'violated'... turn away now. you've been warned!

got the bitspower radgrill for this operation


mock placement and markings


case bottom masked up and feet removed


the carnage begins


and it ends with a heavy ka-plunk


view from the top


edges cleaned and filed


case feet repositioned to outer edges... should have better clearance from the tabletop and center of gravity


the grill mounted using m4 socket screws


it's gonna look awesome from the bottom... haha.
