mod PC CASE MOD

[Manny.nyc]

So recently I upgraded my old PC's (Released late 2014) GPU and CPU (AMD FX 6300). With a new CPU I decided to also upgrade my stock CPU cooler to the Cooler master EVO 212 without doing proper research on its dimensions. Any ways long story short i got the cooler installed it, works like a dream. when i placed it all back in the case i knew "this ain't gonna close". So i decided to cut out my case cover to fit around the cooler. Im pretty satisfied with the way this came out how ever i think it can definitely be improved upon. Any suggestions? 

DONT MIND THE TAPE ITS JUST TEMPORARY

Needs an air intake scoop like you see on cars

At least no one can complain about airflow now...

In my Opinion, that actually looks quite awesome.

That looks quite good actually, the tape blends well with the case.

 all I can think about is all that dust that is going to be sucked in there...

 

As for suggestions, maybe get a different case and put your parts in there?

If you have a hardware store near you, I'd get some acrylic panels and try DIYing a shroud.

 

As far as cases can you get an ATX schematic and see if your board has standoffs in the same locations?

But they can about dust...just an open hole sitting there...

 

Gotta love rotary tools (yes I am assuming the tool you used), you can cut metal (with a reinforced cutting wheel just to be safe), wood, ceramics ect. plus you can engrave with em, drill holes, sand and there's other stuff you can do with one...they are the real powered multi tool

That was my first thought, something like this.

If you could add a filtered intake fan or two you should have enough positive pressure that it won't be too much of a problem.

if it's just a temporary build, I wouldn't put so much effort in it, just get a pantyhose from a female in your life and put a part as a dust filter over it

Or put the "big boy" pants on, go to the store, and buy them like you should other things.

They're very elusive which is why you should buy the said hosiery at the store.

I hear they can be found outside of the internet in the dangerous lands of the real life.

yeah i guess i'll put on my "big boy pants" and buy em myself

 

[historicalpoultry]

would be a hell of a line though if asked why a man would buy a pantyhose

 

"I'll rip it up and use it to protect my PC parts from the dreaded dust because my cooler is too big"

 

women fly for this right?

As linked above something like that hood scoop would work if you wanted to make something you can use styrene sheets and cut/glue them into shape and paint them to match. It's a fairly easy material to work with and mod.
