Here are a few images of the job done in the case with fans and everything.
My case mod is actualy starting to get good!

Because I drilled the holes so small for the fan screws in the perspex, I had
to actually tap them into the perspex and the fan. You just have to be careful
and do this very slowly to make sure you don't get any shattering.
Because I've been waiting so long to get this mod done, I've been running my
system without the side on. Now this has been done it's got about 3C warmer
in there and I can no longer run overclocked in this summer sun (crashed about
4 times writing this article). The fans are also getting noisy and there is
a certain increase in the vibrations every couple of seconds. This seems to
be caused by the window itself vibrating because of the fan in it and maybe
by the vibrations of the different fans in there super-posing inside the case;
I don't know. But never mind, the next thing to go in there is water. Just got
my Eheim 1048 this morning (damn its quiet - almost silent) and I'm waiting
for the rest of my stuff to come from Dangerden. Goodbye Volcano 7...
