Thanks FastEddie, I have seen some of your work before. I should have know you would have been two steps ahead of me:) I would like to see some pix of your
mod if you have them.
hman, just like FastEddie said, removing rivets is an EZ task. The hardest part is the cleanup! You can checkout this brief
thread where ToXiCTHL gave me some much appreciated info on the subject.
ToXiCTHL, thanks for the praise and the advice on rivet removal. Im not done yet but basically when you look at the case now, you have to look close to notice anything was done. The all steel HDD cage is securely back in its original place held there smartly with one thumbscrew.
Let me just say that these cases seem to have very good airflow without the
mod. The Xaser III, Enermax and some
Casetek versions of this case come with a translucent purple, blue or clear side fan holder. The rear fans and blowhole in combination with two side fans seems to be more then enough. I just thought a quick release cage with multiple orientations would be that much better.
BTW, the Casetek case seems to have the same rigid feel to it. Its structural integrity has not been compromised by this
mod.
Be that as it may, I knew I should have bought two or more of these cases when I had the chance,
