    Default Q-vent 900

    In physics, heat, symbolized by Q, is energy transferred from one body or system to another due to a difference in temperature.
    Supported by:

    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

    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.

    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


    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
