  • “Project CITRUS” Lian Li A05N PC is UBER Clean.

    Updated: 2012-01-20 23:53:46
    When Mike Henry (aka ikem) isn’t extinguishing  fires or rescuing people as a Fire Fighter, he enjoys case modding as hobby. The canvas Mike chose for “Project Citrus” was  Lian Li’s A05-N micro tower. It has become very popular among PC build and mod enthusiasts.  It features a small, all aluminum design that provides excellent cooling with two 120mm fans and enough room to support two 5.25 devices, a 3.5 device and 3 hard disk drives. With the built in rubber rings, the hard disk drive noise is kept to a minimum. Of course Mike is never satisfied with factory stock options, so lets what he did to his A05-N. . . .

  • Chopped & Twisted Cooler Master Case Mod, “00 InfiniTiS 00″

    Updated: 2012-01-16 00:18:54
    Doug Gambor wanted to view his system and optical drives from one point of view, so he chopped and twisted his Cooler Master ATC’s bezel a full 90 degrees. He also fabricated a new back panel, so he could add ducting for the Corsair H70 radiator and relocate the  power supply to the bottom.  Progress of the twisted ATC 220b chassis. The entire system was later enclosed under a hinged window frame. Doug – “It seems to me, it’s better to have the processor, video card, and hard drives separated as much as possible, for what I think think is better cooling.” Doug’s customized grill looks like a Turbine jet Engine. . . .
