I've sent one as far a England............. :lol: But I've really only made a few, not really pushing them, it's been to cold out in the garage to do much work lately.............. :wink:

Where did you get the window side pannel, or did you mod the one you had..............Looks great.

yeah I see that but the top two 5.25" drive bay covers look like they flip down as they are kinda stickin out.

Sweet mod playafly187! It looks like it just came fresh off the assembly line (minus all the installed hardware :P ) Looks like I might have a project for my Centurion 532 :wink:

lol

yeah I really love the Centurion. With some minor dremel work, you can have one powerhouse of a cooling system (120mm up front and in the rear, cut out the fan grills = free flowing cooling goodness).

I was thinking about cutting out the fan grills and putting in the standard chrome grills but I don't have any lying around. I might cut the intake one since you dont see it. I didn't notice you had your exhaust cut out in the pic.

WOW!!! Nicely done, playafly187!!! I really liked that "windowed" centurion. I like that case, but after you made it "windowed", I liked it even more!!! :wink: :mrgreen:

I also noticed you modded the HD cage. Did you just unscew the stock cage and turn it 90 degrees? Looks like a different HD cage to me.

yeah it is a bit different. i dont have an updated pic, but its basically the same as the pic below, just a different fan...

the drive cage is actually mounted to the fan, which is then mounted to the case...

i think the cage came from my old pc60 case... not sure, been a while since i messed around with it and my memory is horrible...

Thats sweet and I like that fact you have an intake from the bottom of your case too. DO you have an exhaust at the top?

playafly187
03-01-2006, 04:15 PM
well that picture is a bit outdated. i did have a dual 120mm radiator mounted in the base of the case... and had cut two 120mm holes for fans... but that is no longer the case, so the holes are just kinda sitting there doing nothing now lol

nope, no exhaust in the top of the case...

Typical Cooler Master 530, 120mm fan in front low and 120mm fan in the rear high under the PSU. Ther is plenty of room for a blow hole if you want one, but you need to space it between the support cross members................. :wink:

My Cooler Master 530.
