Sooo, finally the first update!
🙂 Let's start with the case - Phanteks Enthoo Evolve ATX TG. For me one of the best cases I've ever had. But still will be modded
😄 Phanteks gear – case, RGB lighting etc. I am not sure if I will put the RGB inside the case, but for sure it will light up background behind the LCD monitor. Also Phanteks fans with high static pressure ideal for water cooling radiator.
Also thermal paste from Phanteks. With that I have no experience, so I hope that will be good
🙂 There is case stripped off all demountable parts.
I will put inside the case 4 plates new steel sheets, which usually have only aesthetic - interior cleaner, hiding unnecessary openings, etc. Measuring and drawing phase for all sheets took me about an hour, I'm a perfectionist and I wanted it all precisely, and most nicely
🙂 The plates are laser cutted and bended on CNC press brake.
The first plate inside, is mounted in to a case with 2x M3 screws. But lacks a hole for the radiator (which is 360 mm) because I did not know until the last moment if I will be using 35 or 55 mm thick rad.
For the needs of a measurement hole, I used an older radiator (which is pretty old :D), so I will not scratched new one from Bitspower.
Hole for the radiator I had to do a little bigger. If I did not do it I will not be able to put in radiator or the plate.
The cut was done fairly level, but it was still necessary to grind it.
Before drilling the holes for the upper part I mount the second plate, which will also be on M3 screws, but countersunk head.
A lower part of the case ready
🙂 Then I took these plastic caps from positions where are positions for HDD brackets.
Plate with smaller holes for cables. A bent about 27 degrees - according to the original frame.
Current status
🙂 More soon!
