Fan Ring Mod

A little fan ring mod for AF 140, I buy the led version that unfortunately doesn’t come with a ring fan

Looks great. I think the fan ring mod is an awesome idea.

 

Looking good. Especially because your doing everything the hard way. See lots of people do stuff like this but always guys with big shops using cnc/water jet etc. That stuff kind of takes the skill out of it. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.

 

Thank you,

I'm glad you guys like it.

Fan Controller Mod

 

The reason I put Sentry LX in the side of ODD bay, because it doesn’t fit at the front panel.

Sentry is to big for 650D front panel , I make custom mounting to stick it at ODD bay.

 

Fitting test

I'm curious, did you use a window from another Corsair case to modify your 650D window panel? It looks just like the original, but bigger! I've really been wanting to put a bigger window on my 650D and Im trying to find the best method to do so. Any advice would be appreciated.
