arg-ist Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Transformer 1 TRANSFORMER CASE It is time to make some hardmods .Name of the new mod is TRANSFORMER. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/801/zwqf.jpg There are alot of woklogs named as TRANFORMERS… influenced from the films transformers… But ı want to make a case that really can transform.. not only as name Transformer… My aims to build this case are as follows: I was fed up with PUTTING MY HEAD IN TO THE CASE when mounting in it. Therefore, I decided to build a case that would allow me to install everything from outside. There are alot of cases with Removable Motherboard Tray.On of the best and the largest is CASE LABS Sth10 http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1280x1024q90/538/FT1gvd.jpg But you cann t remove the tray if it is watercooled. Cann you do it… For this purpose, all parts of the case , were planned in a way that they can be taken out and they were attached to the case with hinges. Mainboard, radiators, HDDs, all were built in a way that they can be taken out. It was easier to do that with an air cooled case, but it was rather difficult with water cooling. Another problem Mounting fan controllers, control panels etc. on the unseen side of the case was among my primary goals. If we built a case where the front side can be seen, it would be meaningless to have side windows that would show inside of the case , all of our watercooling parts and lighting… For this reason, I decided to combine the front panel with the side window. Everything needed to be in front of my eyes I built a case like these http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/822/3iu4.jpg and these is the result http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/194/nfrj.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/23/zqxb.jpg At last ı must say THIS IS NOT A SHOW CASE !!! Show cases are different. Thıs is only a prototyp to make better cases for me… useful and functional… I shall write and show my erors, and my problems . I would be glad if you can help me with your thougts. I wannt to see , what cann ı transform on a case. arg-ist these are some of the parts that ı have used MB Asus Rampage III Extrem Black CPU İntel 960 RAM Corsair dominator VGA Evga 680 Classified Waterblock MB EK fullcover Waterblock CPU Swiftech Waterblock RAM EK Waterblock VGA Evga Rad 2X360 Thermochill TA + 2x120 120 EK Rez. 2X250mm Pump 2X MCP 655 wit speed adj.

For the best solution for cooling. (Aircooling or watercooling.) all the cables exit from the top of the case. Therefore , ı made a plexi cover for the cables.
