HEADCRASH Case update

Headcrash was looking a bit bland and anemic in its trusty HX08 case. I decided to spruce it up while giving it better cooling for its dual processors and six high speed SCSI drives.

The old look: The bezel looks pretty plain and silly, doesn't it. Mismatched CD-ROM drives and a huge expanse of beige bezel = boring.

 

The new look: I added a second fan down low and installed a third fan into the 5-1/4" faceplates to cool the hard drives mounted in the bays up there.

Inside shots:

From the side: plainly visible are the four U-160 hard drives tucked nicely into the 5-1/4" bays. They're up in their own area with a separate airflow over them. This way they don't heat up the air as it flows towards the processors.

 

Lights Out:
