Indeed, good recovery job on those holes. Careful drilling the screw holes though, it's very easy to get them in the wrong spot!

Well, I just woke up (10AM over here in CA) and will get modding soon. Need to pick up drill bit, and will have some pics for you guys.

EDIT:
update time.

There is no way that the rad will fit inside the case, so I will have to drill out two holes for the tubes to pass into the case. Pics later.

ROFL, maybe you should have thought about this before you cut the holes?

Where is it not fitting inside the case? Maybe there is something you can do to keep the rad inside...

Holes for tubing.........

EEESH, what did you use to cut those holes for the tubing?! As for the fan screw holes, all I have to say is, "I told ya so..."

Haha, I used the 9/64 bit I used for the screws for the fans. I drilled 5 holes in each spot, then hammered out the excess metal. This mod has become total ghetto. At least is works (barely). I'm looking forward to getting a new case for Christmas.

Good god man, you should be put away for case abuse!

At least you got it working... :dontknow:

well look at it this way. by cutting out those 120mm fan holes in the top, you basically added new top exhausts for the main system which will also pull the air through the radiator. thats not bad at all. i would file away what you need so it doesnt impede airflow on that second fan. also, take the bastard file to those ghetto holes. dont want to cut your tubing on them (plus it might make it look cleaner) all isnt lost, just have some patience and it will come out ok for you

Get some rubber molding and put it around the tubing holes. It will make your ghetto/ugly/poor job look more professional. :D
