well that was quicker than expected,:banana:
yea i know its not the best job ever
heres where im working from, thats my dad bending over
now all i have to do is get paid,get a motherboard and order my watercooling parts, so thats going to take a while
do you want this moved to the "works in progress" forum?
nice work, i never realized this but thats exactly the same style (front fan, hdd, dvd mounting style) as my old enermax case.
+rep for so.
yea it might be better in that part of the forums, so if you could move it please
Edit: thanks for moving it
Yep, another "Chenming"-style case, identifiable by its circular holes in the drive bay sides, toolless installation, and (usually) side-mounted HDDs. (These are great, as you can hide the ribbon cables behind the drive, where they'll be practically invisible.)
In black, this'll be particularly fine. My backup PC is a silver Ultra Aluminus, basically the 5x5.25", aluminum-bodied version of this. I love these things.
tomarow after work there is a slight possobilty i might be able to cut out the hole for a 120mm fan in the top of the case to blow some air through the rad
YAY another LEXA mod lol. Looks good so far.
I noticed something different about my LEXA. The alu used was raw not treated like yours.
Can't wait for more.
+rep for being another brave LEXA modder lol
EDIT:
Just warning you that you may have trouble fitting a 120mm radiator on the roof of the case. I have an 80mm rad up there on mine and it finishes less than 1 inch from my PSU (Antec Neo) and pretty close to the disk drives. Perhaps a rear mount would be better, like my config.
Yay for update,
first thing i did was marked it off and drilled holes
then used a jigsaw to cut it out
and finally smoothed it out with my knock off dremel (thats me) and drilled the holes for the fans screws
Afterwards i gave it a fresh coat of black paint.
I will hopefully be getting paid this friday so i might be able to order a good chunk of my stuff. Till then all feedback is welcome.:devious:...By the way my dad thinks im Nuts!
in response to tb4o: yes i know that room is goin to be tight, im installing a dual 120mm rad on top of the case not a single.
