360 rad in arc midi r2

Artem · December 28, 2013

Don't know if ill do a full build log, so I'll just post this for now. Been busy working so that's why this is taking a while. Finally got the 360 in the roof of the r2. Cutting and drilling wasn't an issue, but I need to figure out how to mount the rad because the pre done holes were countersunk and the new ones weren't. So I had the option of either using longer screws and washers everywhere, mount the rad with only 8 out of 12 screws, or to countersink my own holes. Initially I was just going to use longer screws and washers everywhere, but then the top panel wouldn't slide and lock because the heads were sticking out and interfering. So instead of trimming the top panel, I just decided to countersink my own holes. As you can see in the pictures, I was going to use flat heads everywhere, but 3 of the 4 holes I drilled for the rad were too big and the heads of the flat heads just went straight through, which is why I used the pan head ones on some holes because they had a slightly bigger head. Now to assemble the pc!

Sorry for the iPhone pics.
