XC Cube practical mods

The AOpen XC Cube model EZ65-II is a nice little box but as all micro-ATX cases do, needs a safe way to carry it, and auxilliary cooling. I added a chromed 9" safety grab bar from Home Depot building supply to the top, bolted to 1/8" x 1 1/2" aluminum flat stock inside as stiffeners. There was NO space inside for a decent fan, so I bolted on an aluminum framed 92mm fan and grill. The fan fit over the existing cooling air outlet on the side with only one extra hole to drill for the fan wires.

Nice...

Bombproof. Cool case. +rep

Welcome to the forums.

That's a pretty solid looking bar, and I like the way the fan fits in with the shiney silver already there. Good work.

What specs are inside, what do you use it for?

Very sleek look. Nicely done. Welcome to the forums.

I have also downloaded NoLimits Coasters rollercoaster simulator that is a real hoot on the big screen with the sound system cranked up and sitting in the game chair with the powered speakers and butt kicker. :eek:
