Sneak Peak of in progress mods to "Main"-Update: Side Panel (56k warning)

Looks good.

"oops" is not the word for when i thought i destroyed my v2000b side panel modding it. I put two 120 intaks on the left side just before the mobo tray.

It's a dodgy photo (out of focus), but there is a subpanel, lower right, that houses two 120mm intake holes. One for a fan over the PCI slots and the other for the CPU HSF intake.

(haha, my wife just popped by and had a look at the sidepanel. "What have you done? That looks st." LOL, well it does at the moment, as it is still covered with various protective/guide tape, pencil/texta lines etc. )

The following shot shows the original sidepanel mod where I cut a 120mm hole for the CPU intake and a 92mm hole for the GPU fan. I had the GB GA8i945p-Pro in the case at that time and the CPU was located a good 25mm or so further back. That hole well and truly took out the latch. I wanted it back (as I seem to open and close my case all the time ), hence all the fiddly, trial and error, work refitting the latch into the window.

@jimwah, I love powertools , but I get a bit carried away sometimes .
@smopoim86, there were a couple of occassions where I thought I'd totally ruined my sidepanel, like the first mod which took out the latch, and during these current mods. I've managed to recover though, fortunately .
