    Did a bit more work on this, unfortunately I didn't get much done on said warranty voiding above lol so that will have to wait.

    anyways, lets get to it!


    This is what happens when you have a 3 yr old and you leave your drive cage within reach.


    case window drawn on the side panel


    Drilled a hole with a cordless drill and started cutting away with the jigsaw.


    All cut out...


    With a lot of filing left to do.


    using tape to keep my edges straight... it works fairly well.




    And more to come! so stay tuned.

    I'll be watching..


    Looks like a great start.

    Just keep the 3 yr. old away from it when there's fresh paint on it. Kids have a way of touching fresh paint, walking in fresh concrete, and sticking stuff into electrical outlets. Or... maybe that was just me.

    Did some more work on this but didn't take pictures lol. Just finished cutting and filing cable management holes and re-primered the main guts of the case with high build primer. I couldn't believe how much thicker it goes on than regular primer lol. should have bought that first and saved myself some money! Oh well, the more you know right? Lol

    So while stress-testing an overclock my PSU decided to die. NOT cool.


    The culprit capacitor. Gonna try and switch it out for a good one.


    gonna have to desolder this, as I cannot for the life of me get these plugs out of the back of the PSU. Anyone have any tips? lol


    The shiny part in the corner is the liquid the capacitor pooped out.


    also, there was a dead fly in the bottom of the PSU case. Culprit of the cap blowing? perhaps.

    More to come of the inevitable fixing. Also I am going to try to work on the paint tomorrow morning.

    I de-soldered my power connector and switch on the ones I've done. It's either that or cut the case apart

    Yeah, I am planning on desoldering it. I cannot for the life of me find my desoldering braid though.
