hey all,
first and foremost I would like to thank Bitfenix for this case that I won in a contest.
Second I would like ,as a man, to keep my promises and show to the Bitfenix company how this case can be improved
it's a great case , all-around black , with many many features.
first of all I really like its design which is simple , neat and stylish and provides great ventilation with mesh on the front panel and top.
many nice touches that make the difference, such as the rubber stands for the psu , much space for cable management behind the motherboard tray , all cables r in black ,nice stylish rubber/aluminum feet , 4x usbs 3 for speedy transfers , many black thumbscrews for the panels and pcie slots included, 3 great silent fans ( 2 at the front, 1 at the back) and the most important : all of them controlled by a fan controller located at the top!
besides all these great features there r few minor/major disadvantages that need to be fixed/improved/modded
1) mount place only for 200m fan at the top
2) not enough room at the bottom of the case for a 120mm fan after mounting the PSU
3) not very strong side panels
4) flimsy front and top panels mess
step 1 : creating 120mm fan mounts
as u can see in the following pic there's only a 200mm fan mount at the the top of the chassis
we are going to create 2 x 120mm/ 240 rad mount and keep the 200mm fan mount as well
downloaded a template and located where it will be set
cut it with the jigsaw
opened new holes for the screws
done!!we could easysily cut the chassis for a 360mm rad too.
step 2 : creating room for a 120mm fan at the bottom
I was really dissapointed when finding that my power supply unit covers 2 of the screw holes in the bottom of the case and there was not enough room for the fan . only 105mm distance from psu to hdd cage
the bottom of the HDD cage is not used so we can cut away most of it and leave just the necessary for standing part.
also opened new holes cause the others were on the removed piece
mounted it back with black rivets
done!
this is what I've done so far..
thanx for watching people
