Case mod for improved air flow.

[flatulat0r]

Here's the pics, Hyden (and anyone else who may be interested in case mods).
Case: Corsair Carbide 175r.
Air flow characteristics: Worse than terrible. Why did I buy it? Because it was on sale, was a solid case and had good reviews. I didn't even consider airflow when I bought it. My main goal at the time was to get a solid case that wouldn't buzz or rattle because my previous case was notorious for that. Knowing what I know now, would I buy it again? No.
I put painters tape on the panel to prevent scratches, used a CD to trace the circles for the holes, used a scroll saw to cut the holes and then used a sanding drum to smooth the cut. Why didn't I just use a hole saw? I didn't have one and I didn't want to buy something that I would only use once. Besides, hole saws can be difficult to control on some materials without using a drill press, which I also don't have. The grills are actually 5 inch speaker grills because I liked the style and they were only 10 dollars on Amazon. There are two 120mm fans behind the front panel. Airflow is HUGELY improved and the case doesn't heat up anymore.
Please notice that there is NO RGB !
See before and after pics below.

excellent start, hopefully your RGB kits will arrive shortly so you can complete the modifications!
