Turbine mod (Bitfenix Prodigy)

[nrc0]

Hello again LTT Community!

 

First off, I suggest going to my original case mod post I did a few years back, where I showed off my DIY side panel window mod.

I have made a few parts upgrades since this post, most notably I have a GTX 980 in there as well as some storage upgrades.

I am now back with another mod, except this time I am tackling the front panel!

I had this idea to make a turbine looking mod where you can see through the front panel to a blue LED fan behind it.

 

TLDR;

 

 

 

 

And here's a build log!

 

I really like the Bitfenix logo, I cut it out so I can reuse it later.

 

 

Now to cut the fan hole, I screwed this up a little bit by cutting the hole a bit too high so now the cutout from the previous cut visible. Not a huge deal, you can't really notice it in the finished product.

 

 

With everything put back together, this is what it looks like...

 

 

Now lights off...

 

 

I didn't like the white grill, so I cut that out and ordered a black 120mm honeycomb fan grill to put in its place.

 

 

I mounted the new grill and pasted the Bitfenix logo back on.

 

 

I then took some U-channel trim and put it around the outside cut, it hides the mistake in the cut pretty well!

 

 

I'm quite pleased with how it came out, and think it goes very nicely with me windowed side panel.

Let me know what you guys think!

Thanks for reading!

That's very nice. Looks like it came from the factory like that.

Nice good looking mod. My gf has this case and it lends itself to all sorts of modding, we unfortunately have not made any just yet.
