thanks to stempel hauser for getting some parts laser cut

so this is it, the i-need-your-feedback thread for my newest creation,
may i present you

Q-VENT 900

yes, its an antec 900 ill mod, so what do i want to do?

• Rebuild the front so it works as a watercooling reservoir (blue part)
• fit in a 360 Radiator
• cover the front in black mesh (i guess hex)
• make a cover for the motherboard and the PSU (shown below)
• Remove drivebays (done that already)
• make a custom hdd bay and attach it to the top
• remove the top fan and replace it with a DVD drive
• water cool almost everthing, including:

CPU, GPU, voltage regs, northbridge and the southbridge.

some more pics of what i thougt (the cover part where the pump is located is NOT final)

and some pics of the beta cover

and that was my first cover layout

thanks for looking

You are off to a killer start already! Lookin forward to more updates on this one. :)

This will be amazing.

Can't wait to see those reservoirs filled up - it'll be like the X-Purity look, except real... Love it.

I'm a sucker for motherboard/VGA covers, too. This is gonna be good.

more sketches:

im going to rebuild the top so the dvd drive fits in nicely

the watercooling hoses:

made some paper progress, the cover with sidepanel on

and the new top

the top, ill redo the layout though, dont like its look, to messy :/

Drive open

Drive closed

i guess this could be moved within the next 2 weeks

so, hi again with some new updated and more final sketches of the soon to start mod, the new top

and i also redesigned the front, which still works as a WC reservoir

the outer shell is made out of black acrylic with little windows in and behind them is the actual reservoir made out of clear acrylic

the harddrive cage will be custom made and fit under the top of the case

ill also make some memory coolers for the video cards

and the best part at the end, the cover ill make out of aluminium

theres also a 120mm fan added in the bottom

with its own fanduct :up:

ill also get some custom made water blocks for the mainboard

and now, random shots:

rendered with kerkythea plugin

im currently in the stae of drawing the cover onto the aluminium, but im working now which.. sucks.. very.. but i get money to mod, thats the positive thing, more pics soon, stay tuned

this is looking really cool. i like the flow to the case.

pimpin' mockup! great design too...

lookin sick :up: off-topic, but where do you get that kerkythea plugin and is it easy to use? makes the sketchup look amazing!

looks amazing, Sub'd
