814345 2009-11-23 05:09:00 Yeh lian li wheels just bolted on to the case without drilling any holes was a easy mod that part. Inside of case is going to be cover with PSU and mobo and also looking into doing sum panels inside the case to cover the 5.25" bay holes.

Thanks.

Did sum work on the 5.25" bay side cover. Had to cut the alloy sheet down to fit and notch the little holes in the side.

Test fit is perfect.

This is what the notch's are for. To clear the rivets.

I was black hammer hard paint on it. cool effect.
i713.photobucket.com

Installed. no more fan wire flying all over the show.

After thinking and looking at the case i removed 5 of the Scythe hdd coolers and now only going to have 3 as I couldnt ready install much hardware in the case.

Dont think anyone has ever done this with a hdd cooler. Installed all 3 into the 4 5.25" bays under the dvd drive standing on there ends so the wires go out the bottoms of the hdds.

Made 2 brakets to stop the hdd coolers moving and installed so soft padding on the tops on the brackets for the coolers to rest on.

Drill the holes for the middle hdd cooler mounts.
