hey decided that a antec 900 case looked decent but i could make it look better so this is basically an assembly guide and a few minor mods. I would do more but i cant think of any. all ideas appreciated

[MaxOC]

okay now that i got the pics uploaded

and my custom fan filters made out of some kind of cheapish a/c filter, went with cheap since it was thinner layers and still had almost 0 airflow restriction and had like 20 layers

i would have the other 2 side panels but i have to finish painting them and there's really bad wind right now

[MaxOC]

cool, i really like the color

[Spawn-Inc]

yes nice colour. how many coats?!?!

[MaxOC]

uh total i probably have 6 in some areas, however where metal hits metal like the drive trays its already chipping, but its not noticeable behind the drive

[DaJe]

Are you going to put a grill over that fan?

[MaxOC]

the sied fan? i could but its this sheet metal that covers the plexiglass entirely, i got a filter on the inside but i dont have a cover on this outside no. its kinda dangerous but i shouldnt be putting my foot in there too often, plus i have the side off half the time

also i need a little help, i have/had an arctic freezer 7 pro, worked great until i dropped a light in the fan and broke a blade off. anyone suggest either a decent watercooling system or a good/better cooler?

[sirkillalot617]

that was a pretty good cooler and you should try and see if you can get another fan for it as for watercooling mix and match part yourself will probebly make the best system.

[MaxOC]

yeah since my parents dont trust me with watercooling that much after "the incident", cpu block blew blue coolant, carpet, 6 hours.....
so ill probably either pick this one up again or an all copper zalman, supposedly they work better.
i have done more work, starting to assemble it, but i cant get the pics right now, tried taking off 8800 coolerblock and replacing pads with as5, didnt work so i had to put them back onand could only replace the gpu stuff with as5

[sirkillalot617]

Your parent are probebly like mine always saying whats wrong with how its is. My dads addment you dont mix water with electricity even if a bezel covers missing he freaks.

I can only imagine. :eek:

Coool. . went with the 9 Hundred! Im in the concept phase of modeling a case similar to that. With some eclecticos upgrades :think:

I'm Standing by for updates.

[MaxOC]

okay its all put back in now, will take some pics and put them up, have some good mod ideas on the way, even though im focusing on a diff project right now

[MaxOC]

okay so decided to put as5 on instead of those stupid little pads on my 8800, yeah bad idea didnt space as well
