grab faceplate. attach included hole template. drill some holes. wire fans into unit. mount unit to faceplate and attach knobs. plug into PSU and slide unit into empty 5 1/4" drive bay.

so yeah, you'll need a drill and 1/4" drill bit to finish them (whether its the PCmods or Caseetc unit). everything else you need is included.

A quick and dirty instruction manual?

Cyco-Dude · 06-11-2002, 02:54 PM

yeah, thats the jist of the instruction page that came with the unit lol.

anyone know of a place (USA) that rents out tools? the only time i'll be using a rotary tool will be for the rheobus and maybe chopping a 120mm hole in a lian li case, after that, it'll collect dust.

Cyco-Dude · 06-11-2002, 05:42 PM

home depot and lowes rent out tools, and most likely other places if you look in the yellow pages.

GenGoku · 06-11-2002, 07:03 PM

hmm, i must have talked to a new guy at home depot cause the dude laughed when i asked when i was there a month ago. i'll scope out lowes, thanks

Cyco-Dude · 06-11-2002, 09:28 PM

yea, he mustve been a newb...my dad recently rented an insulation blower from home depot...:shrug:
i dont think they'll have a dremel or rotary tool for rent, but im sure you could get a drill and some bits. maybe a holesaw to cut your blowhole (dont forget cutting oil!).

GenGoku · 06-11-2002, 09:36 PM

cutting wha...ERRRkkkkKKkKk oops
<-- finds another Lian Li top

but seriously, is it difficult to use a holesaw? i'm more of a geek than DIY kinda person.

I'd just go buy a Dremel (or cheaper immitation). I bought mine for some case work, but keep finding little uses for it. It's just like the commercials - it's good for a damn lot of things. And though it's not the best tool for much of anything, it can do at least a decent job of pretty much everything.

Cyco-Dude · 06-11-2002, 11:46 PM

look for a guide over at Virtual-Hideout or maybe Case etc. it shouldnt be too difficult; its probably the eaiest and fastest way to cut a neat circle.

the dremel is a great tool for case modding. i used it to cut and debur / sand all my holes. i use it to polish, as well as clean. useful tool to have if you want to mode your case all out.

bigben2k · 06-12-2002, 07:48 AM

I use it to sharpen my lawnmower blade, without removing it...

jtroutma · 06-12-2002, 01:44 PM

I used a dremel wanabe to make all the cuts in my case. It took me almost 2 days , 4 hours each, to make all the custom cuts that I needed to fit the AquaCoil in but it was worth it.

Luckly I just had to borrow the thing from my brother ( and replace all his disks and sanders when I was done)

My roommate thought I was on drugs the whole time.
