Hi gents and ladies,
I ummed and arh'd other whether to even display this project as its a bit old school really and I like to think I've moved on from those days but I decided to show it and let you lot comment anyway.
On that note I should explain what I am wanting from this project, it is based on the Coolermaster ATC 500 case. This is one of my all time favourite cases. It looks ace and is a very well built case. I know they have been discontinued so I took the opertunity to get one while I still can.
The only drawback with the case is that the psu goes over the cpu bit this will not matter with this project. My aim is to have a completly water cooled system so only one fan is required.
Here is a few shots of the case (Click on them for full sized shots)

I have stripped down the case removing any parts I am not going to be using, these include the 60mm and 80mm fans, the case speaker and usb cables.
I've not had a chance to get all the parts for the project yet so I will leave the wc kit as a surprise for the time being.
I have sourced a couple of bits though:
The grill is a lovely bit of ally and the fan is a 120mm ally fan, for some1 used to 80mm fans its huge. This is the second one as the first was broken in transit, but thanks to http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/ I got a replacement 8am the next day.
Its going to be a squeeze to get everything crammed in but if my scribbling and measuring are correct it should go in.
Here is a rough idea of where the rad is going to go
I've taken stacks more piccies of the case so if you want to see more pop along to the gallery here http://www.gordonhandley.co.uk/php-c...ry/Watermaster . As I've said at the start this project is a getting back to my roots mod for fun. I'm hoping to make it nice and clean and not spoil the lines of an already bootiful case.
