[Fudsey]

Hey all, My idea was to take a Thermaltake Tsunami and change a few things in it to make it more to my likeing.....

This is what I came up with....

Next idea is to turn the HDD cage 90 degrees so it loads from the side...

Next time.....

Nice job. I got that case about a week ago.

I have that case as well, my mod of it is under the Cowboy Bebop Mod. Good Job so far, and good luck.

OK here's what I did on the HDD cage.....

I want to take the original and turn it 90 degrees but wasnt sure how to keep it on its tracks. I decided to cut the top and botttom off the cage and reattach them so I could still slide the cage in and out...

Here's the original....

I cut out a side panel so the fan would blow more air around the HDDs...

Now I just have to wait for my new processor and motherboard to arrive and continue.....

Until next time.......

Nice job with the HDD cage, it looks pretty sweet. I just wonder how it will affect air flow for the rest of the case.
With mine I didn't put the HDD's in the cage, so all the airflow from the 120mm fans blow straight into the case.

OK I finished except for getting a 92mm blue fan for the door and putting in some spot lights in the front to light up the drives when you open the door...
