Ermm.. Sry to ask, but how did you cut the round hole on top of the casing. I thought after you cut the plastic still got the metal thing inside to cut?

There's no plastic up there. Just aluminum. So I just cut the aluminum n voila a nice round blowhole.

It's a full aluminum case including the internals. Full aluminum is totally bling bling enuf. I only paint the internals if it's a steel case with ugly grey internals.

Now, y wud anyone do that?

I purposely changed the hoses to UV green hoses to highlight that the rig is watercooled. If u sleeve the hoses it'll just look like a bunch of wires. Also, with watercooling u always need to check on the hoses, joints n blocks every now n then to make sure no leaks r developing. If u cover it then there's no way to check on the watercooling system for leaks.

Not really. Y wud u say that? There's a big 120mm intake fan for the HDD cage n the Raptor actually runs cooler than most HDDs. Ppl think it runs hotter due to the higher speeds n performance. On the contrary, it runs cooler than most HDDs coz the build quality is so much better n the HDD casing is made of really heavy stuff with cooling fins on it too.
Like in my own King Kong rig. The Raptor is about 10C cooler than the Caviar at full load.

The top blowhole improves case temperatures a whole lot. Hot air is trapped up there in that cavity. The top blowhole blows it all out. U can google it or read sum magazines on case temperatures. In 1 of my Custom PC magazines theres an article on case temps using a heat sensing FIR Camera like what the military uses. U can clearly c in those pics that the top of the case is all bright red with heat compared to the rest of the case.

It is because of the hot air is less dense compared to cold air and that's why it flows upwards?

Here we go. I'm finally starting on it. I was supposed to finish off another mod called Tribal Dragon but that mod is delayed by a slight problem with 1 of my suppliers so I started on this while waiting to sort out that prob.

Anyway, this is how JAWS came home. Empty case.

N here's the big huge box of hardware that came with it. New owner with new hardware. Check out the HDDs. There's a full 2Tb there!

The work to be done is a full hardware install, sleeving, wire management.

Woah... 2Tb?! Not to mention the number of 5 1/4" devices there! The wire management for this is gonna be interesting.
