Yeah, sprayed it with some satin black.Did you coat the rough cut edges with something? Looks like you did, but hard to tell.
I know you filed or sanded down those edges, right? Doesn't take much to slice through PSU cables with a rough cut.Yeah, sprayed it with some satin black.
That would work fine, but in the end nobody is going to see it with everything installed. Most of the edges are about even with the edge of the motherboard.why not use some small diameter plastic tubing and cut it down one side. could make the length to cover the new cut out that you were not able to file down/etc. something like one of these, its not what i recall seeing on some sharp edges. this would still work, i was looking for a more complete round side to it. the last two is the closest thing i can find, that is no tape in on the inside should you want to take it out.
Another MSI Project Zero motherboard. Even with the cut-outs the mb tray is still pretty rigid. If you have ever dealt with the King 95 case you would find it a very heavy unit before anything is bolted inside...over 26 pounds. https://www.newegg.com/black-montech-king-95/p/N82E16811970005Which motherboard are you putting in here? Looks like a cool mod but I'm curious about handling the weight of a GPU plus water cooling components with that motherboard tray cut-up.
Montech is not known for using thick steel with their cases.
Nothing funny about it. I emailed Montech about the issue and they replied they are aware of the problem and are working on a solution for future production. The GTS 360 is 133mm wide...guess there are no real standards on width. The Primochill radiator is 120mm wide and the bracket just barely fit it. The GTS 360 fits the JONSBO case with ease which is the case I took the Primochill from...like I said, evidently no real standards on radiator overall width.You have something funny going on here. I have doubts that the black radiator pictured is a 360mm radiator. Looking at the second image looks like it is a 420mm.
I don't know. I like what you did. I also understand that whole notion that if it can't be seen... The majority of your cuts are really straight and show that you knew what you were doing when you did it. No point to be pretty just for pretty's sake? The sharp edges still make me feel nervous but my hands and wires are no where near your edges so....As usual, I could have done a better job of it...guess getting old changes the drive for excellence lol. Almost have it where I want it, but it will take some time to get my Starfield game back into shape. It's running cool and snappy so far. Those ProPress fittings I just wanted to try, but I wouldn't use them again...too pricey. One of these days I'm going to build a pretty themed rig instead of my usual stoic utilitarian approach.
