Just cut out the front honeycomb from my CM690

Why?

Does it help with noise/airflow or something?

[wonderlust]

from what I have read a little of both.

Had to go google for what the front normally looks like....

....good mod..standard front is way too restrictive (although the wavy'ness does match your wallpaper - errr...did I just think that).

[/)zh]

lol butchering it sounds a little too extreme, i don't think it would help that much with temps, and it doesn't look all that good now.

What are benefits by doing this

[wonderlust]

increased airflow, less noise and imho looks nicer too

Only problem might be increased dust, but what the heck you only live once :woot:

Reminds me that I haven't done a good case mod in years (if the ones I did were ever good in the first place)

[wonderlust]

Started on this (common in CM680 mods) first as a replacement panel is available cheeply if I buggered it up

I have access to VMC's, lathes, CAD/CAM & all sorts of tools, I just find motivation to be a problem.....that & I only have one PC, when it's knackered I'm up the creek.

I always manage to do other peoples homers no problem, my own sit for months before I scrap them lol.
