indiyet Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Hello, my name is Franco Cattana, aka Indiyet. I come to share the mod I did to my Haf-x. Hope you like it. The concept of this mod is that it is clean and attractive with a full window so you can fully appreciate it. I will do my best to make it so. This project started with an idea and changed over time. Although not 100% finished I must confess that I am very happy with the result so far. If time and my pocket permits, I will make some changes before the end of the competition day.

As I wrote before I had to change the position of the pump and reservoir for aesthetics more than anything (besides had no other compressor 90 to match reservoir-pump) so I had to put the reservoir hung back and the pump below the PSU COVER. First of all amure While aluminum chapon After measuring, marking and cutting to make the hole to pass the hose down and go to the pump.
