Well luckily I took some pix of my build while it was in the customization process...
Here's an introduction to project Ph34r & L04th1ng.
Project Specs:
PC-75B
2 x Laing D4 Pumps
Thermochill HE120.3 Rad.
6 x 120mm Panaflo M1A Rad. Fans (push/pull)
Swiftech MCW6002-64 CPU Block
DD Maze 4 GPU Block
DD Maze 4 Chipset Block
Let's take a look at modding the case to fit the ginormous 120.3:
(Sorry for the first few low quality pix, I forgot to bring my digi cam that day and had to snap shots with my phone )
Here she is, the beast of all beasts stripped and ready for modification.
First we had to drill out the rivets holding on the top panel of the case so that we could work on it "outside" of the case. I measured exactly where the rad. needed to be placed and then layed out the mounting brackets as a template for drilling on the top panel.
Here's all of the pilot holes drilled to perfection Notice pilot holes were drilled in the center of each bracket so that we could take a 4.5" (114mm) hole saw and cut 100% perfectly round holes in the top of the case.
I then took the hole saw and scored each hole to make sure everything looked correct before continuing.
Voila! Three perfectly round 114mm holes which were then filed out to 115mm.
