MonsterMawd Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I'm continuing with more case mods performed to the HAF 922 I won in Cooler Master's 2009 Case Mod Competition. I will be customizing the front bezel for 2x 120mm intakes I have shown you how to install your own Cooler Master HAF window I'm using paper to make a template for 2x 120mm front intake plate. Tracking template onto 1/8" thick aluminum sheet. I used a Jigsaw with 18 TPI metal cutting blade to cut the design. I will refine and finish the cuts with a hand file later. The 1/8" thick aluminum won't fit in my bending brake, so I used my bench vise to bend the aluminum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterMawd Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 I'm using a Mouse sander with medium Grit sandpaper to remove all of the blemishes and scratching in the surface of the aluminum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterMawd Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 Aluminum plate surface is finished. Next step is fastening it on with pop rivets, more on this soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterMawd Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 I've attached the new bezel plate on with pop rivets. Overkill "Nautilus" 120mm fan grills, http://www.mnpctech.com/120mm_Overkill_Fan_Grills.html In order to use the Knock-out punch, you need to drill a 2" pilot hole. Greenlee Knock out Punches Greenlee part # 730EBB-120 Last time I inquired, they were around $450 in the states + Large 3/4" socket wrench, and 2" socket. I wouldn't use anything less than 19" long socket wrench. Estimated purchase price of $550 new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
