Very nice, i also have a tsunami dream but the windowed version, u've inspired me to buy the non window panel and insulate the whole case and cut those grills off haha
I was wondering how u got those 120mm fans on, cas the stock case doesn't have holes for mounting, did u drill holes in between the 2 holes for the fan clip? and wat is that foam?

Nice to see an interest in quiet computing from what is typically our diametrical opposite.
You can have it all.
Thank you monkiman.
Yes, I'm here to show you it is possible to own a case that reflects your personality and can be silent as well. This one screams "heavy metal" music. A more appropriate theme for a silent rig maybe a moon landscape or coral reef
You should read the description I linked to. It is very Interesting.That foam is very interesting. How much does it cost?
I'm fortunate its manufactured just a few miles from me. I don't sell it seperately (as of yet) Its $65 installed in either my Tsunami or SC series case packages(also known as D8000/LX6A19)
I use a Rope Whitney handpunch with 1/4" bit for the rubber grommets. Much faster and cleaner results versus a drill. Yes, right between.I was wondering how u got those 120mm fans on, cas the stock case doesn't have holes for mounting, did u drill holes in between the 2 holes for the fan clip? and wat is that foam?
Off my shelf I'm a Vendor, Noizz ..lolIt also looks like u put rubber guards around the rim of the cut out grills to prevent cuts and make it look nicer, where did u get those?
(i believe its those u channels) and where did u get the anti vibe gromets?
Fan Silencing grommets
This is Version 2.0
Do you like this mural?
Its airbrushed by our painter, Lin Anderson. I think it suits the Silent & Deadly theme.

Thanks Ralf.My guess: For protection. One on the inside (I assume for when you're working on the system while it's running) and one on the outside for pets, kids etc.
Without finger guards, I could be liable for customer injuries. People may remove them if they wish to.
SPCR members who have solicited my store several times encouraged me to drop in. This thread is a good way to share my creations.didn't realize you were a vendor. However it's nice to see more people get in on the silent pc scene
It's probably a very good way to show off some products. Sounds like a pretty fun job modding PC's for a living. Though all the mods I do are too ghetto to be sold commercially Form = Function for me (looks are not so important).
On a slightly off note:
Have you ever thought about adding heatercores to cases, painting them to match and adding a professional looking shroud?
Just a thought

Youre the 3rd person to ask me this and Yes.Have you ever thought about adding heatercores to cases, painting them to match and adding a professional looking shroud?
Its very likely we'll start seeing these incorporated by the manufacturers soon.
I have many other items on my "to do" list. I'm currently working with manufacturer to produce a combination fan filter/grill. May sound a bit boring, but I think it will take off. ETA is sometime early spring.
I suggest you check out www.polygfx.com.Noizz wrote:... sumthing more futuristic!
Bill, I stopped by your site for the first time just a week or so ago. Kudos to being an awesome vendor! You have some really good ideas, but the biggy IMHO is that you turn your ideas into some really professional products. Keep up the good work! Your site is definitly a permanent addition to my vendors list.
Oh, and about your filter/grill, you talking about something like these aluminum mesh filters (link)?

A good suggestion, but can't be compared to a mural painted by hand. Real artwork adds more value. Every piece we do will vary slightly so its a "one of a kind" We also paint the front bezel. Polygfx doesn't finish the job.I suggest you check out www.polygfx.com
We're open to quoting your own custom design for cases with bezel doors. You can contact me for more info.
Thank you very much for your kind words and support. mnpctech is a small company with big plans. I enjoy catering exclusively to case enthusiasts. I've always tried to stay in tune with trends and start new ones as wellBill, I stopped by your site for the first time just a week or so ago. Kudos to being an awesome vendor!

Similar, but with improved look & airflow...Oh, and about your filter/grill, you talking about something like these aluminum mesh filters

he does (as of now used to SOLD out)
http://www.mnpctech.com/SonexWilltec.html for $8 a sheet
but each sheet is 24 x 15 is 360" square
and since I have the Antec 3700AMB which is essentially the same case (except the 3700 is steel)
I took the time to measure everything out for my 3700AMB
but my measurement of 1015" square are for the thinner melamine ( covering the right side door, front door, around CD drive- areas where you can't fit 1 inch thick foam) so I'll take that out
you'd need about 550" (a little more for the area behind the drive cages) square or two sheets for the left side panel, bottom top, back

I found some fome that doesn´t have to be shiped from the US , it is cheep, one sheet is 900 x 400 x 20 mm which is just enough to cover the right and left side of the case. It costs 7.45 € per sheet or about 8 $ per sheet.
This is how it looks like.
