Time for a new mod. This is a present for my Brother-In-Law who is a HUGE mopar fan.
He's been drooling ever since I built SuperbeePC for his parents and now it's his turn. In the same spirit as Superbee, he
does not know!
So now we begin:
This vent is the dumest thing ever thought of. It's nearly totally useless, minus it's "cool look"
Fortunately, it comes right off!
This is what you're left with
Here's where I'm cutting. This case needs a window with an intake fan, not a vent.
The drive bays have a bit of mesh on them, but not the see through kind.
I've already taped off the panel where the window will go
And painted the bays. I'm not sure what I'm going to have besides a DVD drive, so the painting is
"just in case"
I put the bays back in for now....
I added the first DVD drive. I say that because there may be more.
I got my Motherboard
And added the Phenom x4 9150e
Here's the 500GB My Book I got at Office Depot for $39!!
And in the flesh
There were no obvious screws so I had to pry it open
And there you go, a 500GB internal SATA drive
I cut out the window too. I will clean it up tomorrow night
I cleaned up the window. It's ready for the plexi
Now to do something with the right panel
I taped off my drawing surface
It's gonna look a hell of a lot better than this, but it helps me visualize the goal
I received my fender logo. Oh, and it's real not a reproduction.
Here's where it's going
These are the marks for where I'm drilling the holes
I got the 4GB (2x 2GB) of RAM
And I got the Coolermaster V8 Heatsink
It's pretty Frickin' BIG!
Hopefully, here's about where it will be in the case
I put a few CD cases under it to replicate the height off the bottom that a mobo would create. It's
about a half inch from where the window will sit.
The emblem is now on too
So, on to the system prep
Here's the bracket that connects to the heatsink and the motherboard backplate
All mounted up and shiny!!
She's ready!
Mounted and gigantic!
The 4GB of RAM
My ghetto test setup
Everything seems to work
