Cool, i was going to just mod all cooling, but now i am considering doing a window with a cold cathode...

here's mine

</edit> that is actualy directrons version of the sx1030b in true black.. they are all made by chenming(sp) Antec / Directron/ Enermax/ Chieftek.. all the same cases.

There are quite a few posts on hardOCP forums with 1030s.. might wanna look there if you need lotsa pics.

Ok Zach, thanks for the heads up, by the way, how did you get through the top, did you take out the top panel?

 

[BChico]

By the way, sweet mod job!

very nice Zach29. I was going to move the latch up on the door for more window but the little punch out was just too intricate. Once finished in stock position I liked it though. That was a tough decision. But the original punch out was a little close to the edge and would have required some extra bezeling to make it look right.

Thanks!

On the top panel, I just cut through it.. I didn't remove it or anything.

I finaly got the 92mm fans in the front too, last week. The drive bay actualy fits right around it, just had to bend the little lip straight with a pair of pliers.. I left the 80mm fans in the rear, because it was going to be a very tight fit. (I know other have put 92s in the back though)

set screw, way to get the 120 up front with vibration isolation!!!! Wow That just must ice up your vid card!!
I dropped the middle drive cage too. Had to because of full length AGP. Check it
HERE turned the original cage rack upside down. But velcro is probably better, for alot of reasons.

zach29. I was trying to mimic the arc detail on the Antec bezel? Your angled one looks racier, that seem a pefect match for for the tru black version.
