    GL on that build. I personally love the Sabertooth board from ASUS. Very dependable.

    You can always mod it to fit fans.

    Why two filters? Shouldn't one suffice?

    Okay so first cuts on the case to 'mod" it will be this...
     
    We will be cutting out entirely the fan mesh area using the 'slots' as (seen in these arrows) as a guide to make a nice square opening on the front intake fans of the case.
     

     
    To then re-attach the 140mm fans back in place as you see in the picture above there is four counter-sunk holes. We will be using these to hold our new acrylic mounting plate in place.
     
    You can see our Google sketch-up in the below picture.
     

     
    To keep dust out of the inside of the case, we will be using a dual 140mm magnetic fan filter on the front of the case thus covering the fans and which will be easy to clean.
     
     
     
    Pictures coming soon once we get the acrylic and cut it out ...

    Hi Everyone, 
     
    I just wanted to share a build I am doing with my son. 
     
    He's in the Military and his first deployment is coming up.
     
    Parts: (For starters) (Custom Watercooling by June 2015)
    AMD 9590FX Processor w/ Coolermaster Seidon 120m AIO cooler (Won in Contest) ASUS Sabertooth R 2.0 Motherboard (Purchased) AMD Gamer Memory R9 2400Mhz 16GB Dual Channel Memory AMD/OCZ 240GB SSD WD 4TB Green HDD WD 4TB/8GB Black SSHD XFX R9 280 3GB GPU Seasonic 1050w XM2 PSU Bitfenix Recon Fan Controller w/ 3x 230mm Spectre Pro, 4x 140mm Spectre Pro, 2x 120mm Spectre Pro fans (Red LED Version) Rosewill Blackhawk Ultra Gaming Case (Purchased)  
    But for that starts he has been wanting a "Dream PC Build" for some time. Well since winning a 9590FX processor by AMD's #Spreadjoy on Twitter it was time to start shopping for the parts to make this dream a reality.
     

     
    First the processor, as I mentioned is a 9590FX, 8 Core, 5Ghz (Turbo) Processor with an included Coolermaster Sedion 120mm AIO cooling solution.
     

     
    Second we chose the Asus Sabertooth R2.0 board for the build. Reason for this was 1)Military Grade Testing and 2)Asus Reputation and Quality of Products 3)Color: Going for a military like theme. 4)Features and Overall Design.
     

     
    Third thing we chose was a gaming case. He picked out the Rosewill Blackhawk Ultra Gaming Case. See the link here where Linus reviewed it. 
     
    More coming soon!

    Okay so lets take a look at the window and mesh that can hold up to 9x 120mm fans or 2x 230mm fans total.
     

     
    Okay so here you can see a 1/8" lip around the backside of the left panel where the mesh has tabs that are bent over to allow it to be held in place.
     

     
    Here is another view showing approx. 1/2" of space between the lip and the mesh itself since it is 'raised' with a beveled edge to it.
     

     
    The radius here is 1/2". We measured it because we wanted to get a custom window to either fit 'inside' of this area OR place it over it ....
     

     
    Okay so here is the mock up window we want to add in... It will be 'smoke' acrylic so you will still be able to see the motherboard and all inside when done.
    Overall size we wanted was 18" because we want to keep the overhang on the window as mentioned to give it a nice 3D look.
     
    We will be lining the inside 1/8" lip with U-Channel so that the window has something rubber to keep vibration down.
     
    Also we still wanted the 230mm fan help keep the air cooled XfX R9 cooler, so we will be using a 250mm round fan grill (magnetic) on the opening. Thus it will allow us to be able to clean it without having to take out the fan as well.
     
    Also the words "Spartan Ghost" will be 'etched' onto the window as in the example.
     
    Okay more updates soon.
