huhuhu poison is on the way~~

Finally had some time to do some mods to the case which I think is worth posting. I'll first introduce the case in some pictures before we get down to business.

The case (and other cases), stripped and ready for modding. It's the one with the hippo for those that don't know.


The crazy hardware that needs to go in. I had absolutely no idea how to fit it when I bought the hardware.


Dremel! My very first cut with one in fact.


After torturing all my neighbours for a good hour or so, I destroyed the mandrel! Lucky neighbours!


Was stuck here until I got a new mandrel.


Next morning, work continues! I know it's not the best cut in the world but who cares? Project Ghetto remember?

Bought a new PSU this morning and got right down to sleeving. Covered the ugly cuts with U-channel rubber.


Teaser for where I'm going to mount the motherboard.


Will continue sleeving the 24 pin connector tomorrow and hopefully find some time to mod the cooler.

huhuhu~~ mana update boss?
