Hey Pimps and Pimpettes,
I had so much fun with my case modding last year, I could not wait to start a new case mod this year, and capture it in a worklog. So with that being said, lets get into the fun stuff.

Its Summer again, and time to start another case mod [IMG]http://forums.pcapex.com/ />
- Totally Pimped Out
- Killer Paint

Deadline: End of August for ShowDown Lan. Yup, about 6 weeks to do a fully modded case. Lets see if I can pull it off.

First Post / Case Overview:

Here are some initial images of the hornet, as I disassemble all the parts and measure the pieces. My Dremel went MIA, so cutting updates will not be shown till the next post

Here is a picture of the 2 Hornet cases side by side in its stock form:

Here is a picture of the 2 hornet stacked on each other from the front view. Two full size hornet on top of each other is just too tall.

Here is a side view of the stacked hornet.

Here is a picture of the rear of the hornet. As you can see the hornet is designed for a mATX PSU. Hmm.. running SLI and Watercooling, a mATX PSU wonÃ‚â€™t be able to meet the power requirement. So I will be increasing the POWERAGE of the unit

Removable motherboard trays are always great to work with.

Here is a picture of all the internal guts of the case.

Here is the just bare frame after all the side panels and internal components have been removed.

Well, that was a little intro to my upcoming case mod. Since this mod needs to be done by the end of next month, updates should be coming up fairly quickly.

Any comments, suggestions, or input would greatly be appreciated.

Regards,

SAD
