Today i started the ST-550EAG MOD, and just realize their coolers are soft to replace, so i decide to replace de 92mm for a 120mm.
It was a hard work today, cutting with dremel and soffering with Dremel Router, but i learned something today and tomorow i'll work better. (i hope)

I decided doing some tests with leds ligthing before going on with the project.
These rivets are for tests purpose only.
Seems the idea works
I was running up to do some soldering works when the UPS arrived, damn ! For one second i thought the CM WC had arrived, but was another Dremel I've bought to do engraving jobs(this one is diferent of mine because it start at 5000 rpm and goes to 35000, the other one i have goes from 10k rpm to 33k rpm)
Dark photos are not what i can do best...
Some news at the font modding... (still leaning to use the Dremel router, if anyone knows where i can find any kind of tutorial, please, tell me where)
Doing these borders results in a very nice finishing.
I reached out a very nice fit on this piece
Some hand sanding with 360, 600 and 1200 sands, respectivelly, to acomplish the final results...
Dust, dust2 and dust2007... :)
The concept:
Now i'll do a 120mm hole at center of the top and put an nice one cooler with leds on with. (i'm thinking put blue light inside to contrast with red lights an red UV reactives i'll use inside de case.
It's all for now, i'll put more soon...
Coments are very wellcome...
See you and happy new year for everybody !
