How the 480mm and 360mm Radiators are connected









Modded back of the case for easier routing







Feser X-Changer 360mm








Feser X-Changer 240mm






I put an old sox around it to protect it agaist unwanted scratch




Side Panel Mod

Reservoir has a fill port on top of the case





Connected directly to the pumps via a fitting




Pumps are easily accessible from the front panel for easy adjustments

CPU Block and Motherboard Blocks













Quad Fire 7970s Blocks (EK FC 7970 Nickel/Acetal)

I put only one Temperature sensor because I just want to know the water temperature, its no use for me to install many temp sensors because I don't really care if my water temp is 24'C at one radiator Inlet and 23.5'C at the outlet. I just need to overall to compare between my Ambient temperature and water Temperature.

So two months ago, I decided to make a big mod on my case to match my theme: Quad Damage. I wantedto make something different. I asked Dwood for this kind of work since I don't have any laser cutting company close to me. I messed up a bit with the side panel measurement so I had to file the fan intake holes for a couple of hours. It was long but I wanted it to be perfect



Side Panel:






I also wanted a 5'25" Bay cover with a Quake Logo on it and Led Lights behind it (with plexi spreading the light)


5'25" Bay Cover I offered to put his name








While I was there, I asked him to make me some nice backplates for my 4 x 7970s, I decided to take three in black and one in red, again, to match my theme.


7970s Backplates





Again, I decided to make another mod, now on the front panel and again, asked for Dwood service

Front Panel mod (HDD bay)

The front panel is just like the 5'25" bay plate, I put a plexi underneath it with Led Lights






I wanted Fan grills with no frame and with this specific Quake Logo that I really love



Fan Grills







I also asked for OCN flames because OCN is my best web site (one black and one red)



All Parts before painting

I designed them my self for a custom height and I add a shim to give an angle to the speakers. Also add some protection holders.
I spray painted in black (two layors)

I bought a kit from Ebay (5050 RGB Led 150 (5 meters))

I had to modify the 5,25" Bay plate because I forgot a little detail when sending the measurements to Dwood. The side panel mechanism was in the way.
I tried to find plexi #2447 (which is a white translucent Plexi that let only 47% of the light go through, it is generally used in lighten signs (store sign) or for X-Rays pictures. I coulnd't find any supplier in Canada or USA supplier didnt want to ship over here so instead, I decided to get clear Plexi from local hardware and sand it. The plexi was used to spread the light and to make it glow on the side, like a "3Dimensionnal" effect

I also used a Ghetto Method to fix the plate to the case, I used heavy duty velcro for easy removal in case I need to mess with the HDDs.

I also used 3M scotch #4010 to glue the Plexi to the plate








For the HDDs plate, I used again heavy duty velcro for easy removal of the plate, as you can see, I routed the LED lights through the last HDD tray, removed the tray and routed the wires there

Acrylic Scoring Knife




Bitspower Mesh (I used only the mesh and not the frame)













Dust filters








OLD SIDE PANEL

Bottom Radiator Grill






Of course with a Dust Filter.






And the hidden side Panel mod

I made a cut using my favorite modding tool: the Dremel

After that, I used the file for a straight cut. Then I used U-Channel to hide the cut and protect the tubing and wiring against sharp metal edges.
