Good idea, honestly depending on case orientation it may not even be noticeable if done on the rear glass panel. Other ideas I have in mind of varying cost and extremes:
Create a Plexi/Acrylic ventilated rear panel replacement for the tempered glass.
Similar idea I came across on Instagram, but...
Ok, a little lower than I expected, but it seems to match the issues people have with the other popular Enthoo Evolve cases and airflow issues. Unfortunately some of the simpler mods to those cases don't seem like options here short of removing the dust filters on the sidepanel which it seems...
Cheers, I have been following the thread the last few days and have read it all, just hoping someone has such measurements. I may take a stab at it and have the alu panels CNC'd to allow airflow if the temp difference is dramatic enough, say 10C? Otherwise I'll have to look at the Shift X I...
Can either of you attempting a custom loop take temps with the alu side panel off on the fan side? Curious how much that air flow restriction is affecting things.
Thanks a bunch, the ziptie through the PSU bracket is rather brilliant, but the one on the sata cable I feel less sure of. That said I definitely see why you feel confident, the hard tube support will help as well. Would love to know how you get on once you fill it up with water as it will weigh...
That's an impressive price. There was no waterjet places in San Francisco, so I had mine lasercut and it cost $100. Though I had him cut my black side panel as well within that price; just in case I ever switch panel sets in the future.
With time and money to make something in a metal shop with perforated sides or something you could probably make some sort of base or something that looks okay, I think it would have to come to that though. There's no good off the shelf feet that look good.
Could also get crazy and cut out the...
I've played with designing different feet to accomplish either a push/pull slim fan or a 25mm out of case fan and haven't come up with anything that looks good. I think just given the dimensions of the case low profile feet are the only way to go. I did see someone using 'riser' feet but it...
I would love this, I currently only have the audio headers hooked up and never use them (lots of electrical interference killing audio quality), the USB3 cable is crazy annoying to tuck away, but I haven't the heart to cut it off. Would love a clean front I/O with just power.
