I recently purchased an EVGA Superclock CPU Cooler and finally decided to join the Mod Rigs community! I should be doing my first side panel window mod in the next week or two. This video and forum thread made it look easy. Tips and suggestions are welcome. The cooler looks and performs very well. I didn't have any trouble overclocking my i7 930 to 4GHz.  Here's my primary system and Vantage Link. Please rate and/or comment. Antec 1200 Gigabyte X58A-UD3R Intel Core i7 930 @4.0GHz BFG GTX 295 x 2 EVGA Superclock CPU Cooler 120GB OCZ Vertex 3 SSD 1TB Seagate HD 12GB OCZ 1600MHz DDR3     I have 3 more systems for Folding@home but they're not pretty. I need to give them a little TLC before I post pictures. ;)

I like it!
Nice and spacious, I bet you've got tons of airflow.
Very clean and colorful, and I'm happy to see GTX295s represented.
I have an old one - dual PCU BFGversion - that finally lost its internal SLI...
May try to revive it one day.
Heading over to ModsRigs to give ya one.

It's too bad the company went under. So much for a lifetime warranty. lol Chaos_21

Thanks! The Corsair TX950w's huge single +12V rail design didn't help. lol It took a lot of patience but it's definitely worth it!

Sorry, please forgive my bad MODS RIGS etiquette. I'm new and a little slow. See how long it took me to get my system on here. lol The Top EVGA Systems are partially to blame. I wasted a lot of time drooling over them and daydreaming. Still waiting for some supplies to start the side panel window mod!

It looks so nice that I decided to mod my system.  I used this video as a guide. Case Mod Basics: Case Window Install, [link=http://www.mnpctech.com]www.mnpctech.com I decided to order most of the supplies from MNPCTech.com's Case Mod Store because the videos were so helpful. Although The videos should have a warning because Bill makes everything look a little too easy.  I put some extra tape on my case because I was terrified of scratching it. It really wasn't necessary.  Here's some before and after pictures.     Now I just need to do something like this to hide most of the cables.

Antec 1200 mod
2011/10/22 13:52:37
(permalink)
I finally finished my cable management project. There's still a couple loose wires but it's a lot better than it was. I only had to purchase a PC Cable Sleeving Kit and 2" Rubber Grommets from mnpctech.com's Case Mod Store. I started by sleeving the front panel wires and the exhaust fans' wires.  Here's a closeup of the fan speed & LED controller wires. There's normally 4 more (2red + 2black) exhaust fan wires there.  It's very easy to turn upside down. Remove two screws and swap the cables around.  I drilled a 1/2" hole in the side to keep the cables out of sight. You can see the sleeved fan power cables and how much better this looks. I'm surprised the folks at Antec didn't design it like this to being with.  I drilled a 2" hole in the top and in the side to hide more of the front panel's wires.   Here's the before and after pictures.   Now I want a new case.
