Project NONAME (for the moment)

Since this is the start of a new build I guess this is the best place to post it.
My brother and I are going to transform this ordinary HP case into some thing more "custom" .





I started by removing the grille in the front to make room for a 140mm fan, as you can see in the pictures below.





It turned out great imo, but now I have to find a way to mount the fan. I am thinking of installing a sheet metal piece to the front and cut out a hole for the fan, but then I have to find a way to mount the sheet metal to the case. If any of you guys have ideas please let me hear!

This is as far as we have gotten right now. We still need to cut out the I/O panel in the rear because it is a non removable one and paint the inside black. I will post updates here as we make more progress.

Yeah that is kind of what I am thinking of doing.

I could install rubber washers in between the panel and the case to reduce vibrations

Was thinking about using rivets since it will make it look factory and the glue sounds like a good idea

I also need some advice on how I should cut out the old I/O shield :/

Thank you I will try that

Yep I think so

Yeah I understand
