Arrow WORKLOG: GAM's HTPC - Simple Modding Make-Over

G'day fellow modders

Well, after much effort and aggravation, I have finally put together the complete worklog of all the mods I've made to 'HTPC', to date.



This is a work log illustrating how I've modified my HTPC's generic case.
Some of the mods include:
  • Front panel intake with MeshX grills and moulded fibreglass duct
  • Top blow hole with anti-spill cover
  • Noise dampening using adhesive foam
  • Cable management mods to motherboard tray
  • PSU cable alterations
  • Interior paint
If you are interested, then please read on here...

Further mods to be performed include exterior paint job, maybe handles, side panel dampening and possibly small window (don't want to defeat the purpose of the noise dampening foam now, do I?), some subtle lighting 'bling' (at least behind the new front duct/grill) and any other good suggestions that people can come up with.

Updates, if they happen, will be posted here.

Cheers
GAM

ps. I've been working hard on this site, making lots of changes, additions and small enhancements, but it is still a work in progress so please PM me and let me know of any issues you discover.
