What of my pentium??

 

[Motopsychojdn]

I just realised while reading the thread about ur gfs machine that the reverse hdd wouldnt work as i have a fan in the front as well XD

If you use right angle sata leads it should work, I didn't have any to hand back then but its reminded me to check

For an ITX case it seems so inefficient with space. Counter intuitive in my opinion.

The big space in the top is for big air coolers I think
240mm rad means you have to lose the 5.25" bays though

Very nice. Say what you will about those coolers, but they clean up the build nicely.

Thanks! I love how the build turned out, H60 has been working perfectly.

 

[Motopsychojdn]

I'm impressed, for a first build thats awesome, heres the deal,
Turn the H60's rad 180' and get those hoses off your fat DCII, so they won't melt
and you get a cable management award from me,
awesome job man, well done

Thanks Moto means a lot coming from you, I am kinda picky about my cables. The H60 actually has a good amount of clearance from my graphics card it must just have turned out to look like it is touching by the angle the picture was taken. There is about an inch of clearance do you still suggest rotating?

 

[Motopsychojdn]

Yeah, its only four screws on the radfan, clear the gfx card up so you can see it more, and when you decide to W/c it, give me a shout, I have a nice mod for those cards

[Uther39]

Lovely build buddy, only thing is now, you need a side window for your 500r, so you can see it.

 

[saint19]

Hi guys again...

A new picture of more "experiments"

 

[Robi_g]

what's being 'experimented'?

 

[Motopsychojdn]

Freeform C.m.?

Looks like a gfx cooling ploy to my eyes

THE BitFenix Prodigy Mini-ITX Cube Case - Midnight Black PROJECT CONTINUES

So as you chaps probably remember from previous posts ive been debating what to do with the side panel, should i leave it grilled or should i window it or fir dust filters etc etc.
If you didnt know the original looks like this..

So as you can see its just grilled with no dust filtering, so i decided i wanted to some how see inside my case but at the same time provide clean air to the GTX660 thats going to be fitted soon, i trawled the internet when i came across these...

There made by a company called DEMCiflex and come in every size and shape possible, here just have a look
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/search_results.php?sortby=&groupid=701&search=DEMCiflex
There also magnetic which helps greatly with fitting and cleaning.

So i bought myself the one for a 280mm rad set up in black, when it came i was really made up with it as not only is it great quality but the mesh is very fine stopping dust but also as you will see almost completely transparent, BINGO. So i set about cutting the grill wholes out of the side panel to fit the new filter and heres the results...

What do you guys think of the result?

 

[Motopsychojdn]

I'm not normally one for gloss plastic, but it seems to fit that case beautifully
Moto

 

[Uther39]

Its more like a soft rubber than plastic, its not rigid as such but kind of semi rigid....
EEEEk that sounded pervy. haha.

 

[Motopsychojdn]

As long as you don't drool all glossy-eyed whilst running your (latex-gloved?) fingers over it, you'll be fine mate lol
Moto

 

[Proximon]

The pics look great
I'm guessing the mesh is not completely flat? Not sure how I would feel about that. Really, just not sure. I think I might try to run a thin strip of metal across the inside, just a bit too long so that it bows out... just to see if I could make it look more uniform, or tighter if you like.

Maybe that's just me though.

Because the Border is not rigid as in where the magnets are you can actually pull it so the mesh is taught which is what ive done, also the magnets are very powerfull which helps.

Ah cool
