I know it's a bit off topic but this is for my WC project. I know you guy's will want to see this.

What the hell is that, a 3 bladed fan?

mpfos-
thanks

ocpunk-
I didn't SuperMicro did, I just made their holes bigger?

iceheart-
thats a Nidec off a Compaq Prolinat 3000 server, this thing is POWERFULL. However it's too lound I'm only using Panaflo's in this case I just put that one there for sizing.

Kevin-
thanks to you as well. I HATE those huge holes in the front of the case and I thing that this will sufice I mean I'm water cooling anyways so I don't need that much airflow and I'll be running the H1A's at 7 volts anyways.

Sorry I took so long to reply, my company is moving to a bigger buliding and I have to plan everything as far as the Servers, workstations, and frame relay curcuits go.

I have a quick suggestion: You could use the two sets of small holes that you haven't drilled out at the bottom (because they didn't go all the way to the top) and fit LEDs in them to make a CPU usage display. That would look pretty cool I think.

BTW great job on the bezel; that sort of modding takes much larger balls than you'd think

decodeddiesel · 10-29-2001, 05:55 PM

Yeah it does, I think it looks better with the bigger holes than stock.

Thanks for the comments. I dunno what I'm going to do with those small holes my idea for now if to fill them with Bondo.

I love the front cover on the Dell Servers with those big square holes and I'm going after that kind of look.

I think I'm going to be doing a two tone paint scheme like HP does on their Kayak series.
HP X Series

As for the balls. Well I have had this case for about two years and I have always wanted to mod it. However my best friend let me have this and I REALLY didn't want to screw up this case. He let me have this while I was a Senior in High School with no job and I couldn't have afforded this on my own back then. (Never mind that now I'm an MIS Director and give him nive gifts.)

Now I have practiced on a few other cases on my own and I'm confident in taking on this project.

Wait till you see what I did to the chassis
