Project Smoker


Mickee Boy

Recommended Posts

Hi, my name is Mickee  from Makati City, Philippines. This is my first full on case mod and work log. I would like to thank you in advanced for spending time on this.

 

I will be using an old Cooler Master USP100 handed down to me by a good friend. 

 

There is no specs for the PC yet as I am still looking around for good deals.

 

 At the end of this project we will be looking at a Military Themed BTX form factor chassis, top mounted GPU connected via PCIe riser and DIY computer peripherals there are still more modifications that I am unable to explain as of the moment so I will just update this work log with pictures as the fun progresses.

I will put the power supply and radiator in this new compartment.

The bottom part of the chassis will be replaced with a flat aluminum sheet so I dremeled out the bumpy area, the cut does not need to be perfect because it will be covered anyway.

So I need something thick for the panels of the bottom compartment :) It is broken and was thrown away by the owner.

Cutting the panels to fit I am doing it way off the line as I do not trust my unstable hands.

This is the final mounting formation for the GPU, many thanks to LiHeat for the 380mm PCI-E 3.0 Riser I tried Battlefield 4 on the test bench and it was amazing, it's like the GPU is connected directly to the motherboard.
