Sitting on Top of the World

The top-fan - Ok, that was the first fan in place. Now lets take a look on the top fan. This one was the hardest to get in place. That’s because of a rising in the case. I’m not sure of the purpose of that raising with the hole in it. But it mess things up for sure. Hope you see the problem even though the picture is taken from a bad angle.

I had to make pretty extensive modifications to get the bastard fit between the 5,25” bays and the PSU. Speaking of the 5,25” bay, I had to sacrifice the top slot in favour for the fan. To get the 92 mm fan to fit I had to hammer down that annoying hole-thing sticking up. After lots of swearing, sawing and hammering I got the fan in place. This part took most of the time during the whole operation.

As you can see it looks like crap but it was the only free space on top. Anyway I also had to make a hole for the fan in the cover. There is also where I placed the fan grill. Here you can how it looks like with the grill on.
