I think I may eventually mod my case.

I'm thinking of a 92mm Tornado mount right above my hsf or maybe right under it, so I don't have them right on top of each other (Alpha and the Tornado are very tall, let alone alpha then 2 Tornados).

I have a question about modding sides though... How do you extend the wire long enough to allow you to open and shut the case without cluttering?

I've seen that a lot of you have cases with fans modded to the sides, although I can't figure out how to get the wire goin'. :p

If I do in fact do this mod, my case will in end be 2 80mm Tornados and 1 92mm Tornado. :D

I think it'll be time for a Rheobus for my 3 Torandos then. :D

This is what I did for my Black & Gold Case.
I extended a two wire fan an extra 10" with a molex connector on the end. I had another molex connector going into my Baybus. When I removed the side panel there was enough play in the wire to move the panel to the front of case or under the computer stand. If needed to I could disconnect the molex connectors.. ;)

K, thanks. I think it might be time to breakout the drummel tool.

Oh yeah, how do they work for case-cutting? I want something that'll give me a clean cut. :p

Skil Saw, if you don't mind throwing money around a bit.

But Dremel's are good if it's all you got. I only use mine for smoothing things out and opening up start holes.

Nice room. I thought you owned everything SONY, then I saw your TV. Why did you get a Symphonic?

I think my father might have one, I'll have to call him today.
Also, how do you know how much to cut for the fan you're using (I'm using a 92mm), like what should I use for the trace?

I know drilling the holes around it wouldn't be a problem since I can just use the fan itself as a tracker, but the sizing the circle around the fan seems like it could be tricky. :p

You can get templates for all the fan sizes at HiTechMods or just use the fan grill & trace around the outsides.

Just use the fan grill, as Taz said.

Seriously :p . Man, I gotta haul this thing all the way to college.

Nah, don't feel like spending anymore on fans, but if I do I'd want to get some higher out put fans for the rears. Preferably the sunon extremes like tho one I have on my ax7.

Thanks...that was my dorm room at college. Next year my room should be much nicer since I am moving into a house with 5 of my friends. The TV $90 for a 19" and that was the cheapest thing I could find. I bought the TV just to play PS2 :)

Those are the main three, but the rest (five more) can be found on that link so I don't kill any 56kers. Please take into consideration these pics were taken when I still has my 1800+, 8KHA+, and 8500. Enjoy :)
