Not sure failure, you get more power, buying same case , though you might want to use a fan controller.

Made a couple changes to my rig recently.

1. Removed the big heavy X plate on the front door.
2. Removed the side fan and covered the hole with a piece of OHP film under the laser cut grill.
4. Installed a Sunbeam Rheobus today. This thing kicks ass.

Here's the side window.
I mounted the grill and film using some bolts, nuts and spacers from my old Tamiya collection. Those small things are handy.

Sniper wanted to see the front plate, so here it is.

It came with the case red, but I painted it blue to match my color scheme.
Originally, I did it very nice and smooth with a lil mirror reflection to it. But previously the big metal X plate was installed onto it, so now there are those marks you see near the screws. Thankfully, they're hardly noticeable under normal lighting.

Ya know what Nick.... You can mount a mirror of something there on the front plate.

Good for fengshui.

nice, you've removed the fugly X label

Yeah haha, it looks better without the X plate.

How to get a mirror in that exact shape with the curve at the bottom?
Bah, I'll just repaint it later during my holidays and it will be a mirror finish!

the case is red? You painted it silver? Did you cut the window there?
Cool.

Haha, nope. The Xaser2 came already silver with the window.
What I meant was that the blue colored plate you see on the door used to be red.

New Casing...

i think..

shark, yes that is new, if you like the design

pipe 101 and xb pro user here..

wuts the different if i do lapping to my pipe 101?? better performance??

xb pro kind aa lousy... changed to tornado.. used to the sound d..
now xb pro become my casing fan

new combo cool fan for thermaltake... very cute and fancy lookin'
twin blade also... like tt ufo

lapping, just lower temp 1/2C thats all. Better use AS5 with that.

That fan is just a rip-off CM dual Storm, Dual Storm looks nicer. but suprisingly, THe CFM and mmH20 is meager. The ttblower has one of the best mmH20. CFM, just get a tornado.

anyone know what good stuff I can place in a 5 1/4' bay. After careful inspection, the Tt butterfly knob is not good for the case, even though its placed back, view sideways, can see the thing trying to push the case. the inside now has a minute scratch. I don't want to place a speaker system, a lighter, a fan controller, and those hd thingy.

What good stuff can I place. Wanted the watercool, but needs two slots. Any LED or something there. For next mod project

hey i've mod my TT casing.
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=96053&st=40

nice mod rezz.. well done..
for this club contribution, i'm using pipe101, & butterfly 480w w/ x-blower..

rezz what is that red light coming from below the graphic card?
For some reason I think that mod will not work on my case, any kind of wallpaper to mod silver case? I could try to sand it till get mirror finish.

It is very difficult to sand i think, you don't want to ruin your nice casing, do you?

LoL i really reckon u shouldn't sand ur silver case... unless u're planning to "overhaul" it and respray everything back from groundup..
usually all silver cases comes with special coating..
