Cooler Master Stacker

[Tweezy]

I am going to be purchasing a Cooler Master Stacker 810 similar to http://images10.newegg.com/NeweggImage/productimage/11-119-093-02.JPG.

Can anybody link me to mods involving the cooler master stacker or just give me some ideas for the case. Thanks.

That side cover looks like you can have a subwoofer in it! Then again, that's not a bad idea. Put a car amp in there, a psu puts out 12 volts like a car...

Possible.

As far as a theme, I can't think of one off the top of my head.

Don't subs have big magnets?

Search the forums... there are alot of mods using those if I can recall rigiht.

i used to sell this case at compusa when i worked there

im goin in there in a couple days ...ill take a good look at the insides of it....see the possiblities for it


would help to have a general idea what you would like to do to the case....youve explained a lot to me on aim.....what kind of color theme you lookin for it.. are you lookin to put a window in? lots ofthings to consider when you are coming up with ideas..

That’s a great idea! I bet I could fit at least a 12” if not a 15” sub in there. Heck I could even mount my hard drives and my RAM right inside there. What a great idea. Thanks for the genius man…
Yes, Subwoofers have magnets. The bigger the sub, the bigger the magnet, but all subs have quite big magnets in them.
Thanks for trying, maybe you truly didn’t know this, but big magnets in big speakers mean big problems for computers. Computers+Magnets=DO NOT MIX.

I think I have most of the front panel worked out. I’m going to stealth the entire front, even the power switches. I’m working on an idea using two different colored plexi windows alternating in a pattern for the side window, ill do a sketchup when I get home maybe. On the top I know I want at least two 80 mm exhaust fans, probably 1 120 mm intake on the side panel, mesh vents in the front? Crossflow fan? More ideas to come soon hopefully.

Lol yeah I already knew that magnets aren't good for computers. If you'd put a sub in there, you wouldn't be able to make it a comp, just portable bass, maybe for your iPod? lol That'll be a hell of a patent. Portable boom boom bass for your iPod. Do you know how many rappers would show that off on MTV Cribs?

[Tweezy]

looks like ur on to something... not too portable though, that **** is heavy

EDIT: back to the topic however, i do believe you when you say there are probably a number of mods involving a CM Stacker however I have been browsing and have not run into any, thus my reason for wondering if anyone knew of one or two off the top of their heads.

[Mitternacht]

Well, maybe instead of leaving that side cover a vent, maybe you can put rotors from a helicopter there, or from an airplane. functional or not. I dunno, it'll take a powerful engine to turn over the rotors if they're metal.

I've finally decided on a theme... it is going to be a water/hurricane/typhoon type of theme. I will do some mockups on sketchup probably tomorrow instead of calculus homework. Can anybody tell me a link to a tut on constructing your own reservoir/water cooling system. Where can I get copper heat pipes? Also please throw out some design tips on the case. As soon as I get the money for the case I will buy it but I dont have any of the tools. Anyways... Design tips, watercooling tuts. Thanks

Okay, originally I was going to do the Cooler Master Stacker case as my first mod project ever, I have now come to the conclusion that this would be a very, very bad idea. The case is a $160 case and my designs are fairly complex so I have opted to instead modify two of my in-house cases first. These are fairly cheap cases and I am going to do some pretty simple modifying. Thank you for your contributions to this thread.
