I'm using Powerlogic Atrix 5000

If there are metal replacements then it'll be even better.

Inverted ATX + 1 Super Fan, another mod on a boring sunday

omara86 — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 17:49:43 +0800

here i go again... when have nothing to do... my hand become very gatal to cut sumthing... so i take my another "terdampar" case... termenung a bit, thinking of what to do.. and i dont want to do the same thing over and over again..

so what i think of for this case is...

1] inverted ATX coz i never done such thing....
2] top blow hole coz also i never did that...
3] super cool with less fan, so i decided to use juz 1 fan at top and use a powerful one.. 240v fan..
4] custom front panel... havent started yet, still using ori front panel, will do it later...

so here's the case...

First attempt on modding, cheap casing

hazardcradle — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 03:47:40 +0800

Okay, this is my first attempt on modding and it's my brother's rig. its only cheapo casing.:

top view:

so what i'm trying to do right now is put a handle on top of the casing so we could lift the casing easily (?)

next, i removed the top cover:

and mark it for drilling:

get ready for drilling

Two holes done:-)

attached the handle:

two handles attached:

completed:

i think the handle is strong enough:

by the way, this is on-going project. next, maybe top hole for fan.. any suggestion is appreciated.
by the way, just asking- what tools do you guys use to make side vents?
