    Default HP Resurrection 1 -Resurrected-

    This case was built almost a few year back now! bit since i recently needed a new desktop to house some new hardware i thought i'd bring the old girl out of retirement


    The orig chassis was paint stripped and resprayed with 4 coats of 2pak auto GMH GTS silver.





    The panels where all rubbed , high filled and also painted in 2 tone silver and black






    a side hole was also cut and a custom side grill was shaped and added.



    2 years on and the paint still holds a perfect shine.

    the first thing to do was set the Rad up, for this i guttted an spare 120mm
    fan and used it as a mount.

    Again nice quality mods
    Did you have any problems getting the video connector in behind the Radiator... i know you've left room, but it still looks kinda tight.

    thanx guys

    Just to finish the old girl off, ive made a custom support bracket to support the quadro card, turned the side fans around to make them more usefull, added a CCF to light them and added some UV action internally.





    Cut and checking for clearance.



    Holes



    A bit milling to miss vital caps






    Sanded edges polished and fitted up.



    Card sits nice and even now.





    The fans.








    They now blow air in and across the pump.
