Internal Stealthing

CM Stacker Mod by Ediejo and Snakez Internal Stealthing - 1

There was a lot of stealthing done inside the case to hide a lot of the components away from the eye. First, we look at how they hid the drives away. A piece of UV green plexi was cut and shaped to fit right up to the back of the drive cage.

Because the reservoir is going to be mounted in a 5.25" bay, holes were cut so that the barbs could poke through. This was then test fitted and it fits in well!

With the plexi still in place, a cardboard template for a metal stealth cover was modelled and test fitted inside the case. This would cover the power supply, the pump and then run up the back of the drive bays. This fits right in with the work that was done on the top of the case.

Always measure twice, and then cut once! The piece being cut here is the bit that will fit up against the plexi that is pushed up against the back of the drive cage. The bottom right image shows the pieces that will eventually cover the power supply and pump.
