I would like to share my current slow roll project with the community. I found these drawer slides at our local Lowe’s Home Improvement store.
The slides are 16 inch full extension with built-n release levers. I used these in this system.
Again this is a system done my way for my own use and amusement. Early this year I refreshed the White Prodigy by swapping in the Gigabyte Z87M-D3H i7-4770K which freed up the ASUS P8Z77M-Pro with the i7-3770K for this project.
The system is over clocked to 4.2 GHz and runs well with the Thermaltake Water 2.0 Performer CPU cooler. Note that there are only the two 120 mm fans on the cooler, a fan in the PSU and a fan on the GPU. Running the Prime95 “Torture Test" the buttoned up system see temps in the mid 60 C range.
As with many projects it is hard to tell when it’s done. I still have an idea for a “kickstand” for the open drawer condition and implementing a slot loading optical drive along with USB3 ports in the optical drive area (I have not worked out how to build the quick disconnect for the all the data lines needed).
And the case shows its age with lots of scuffs and scratches but no deep damage.
More postings to follow with photos of a few tweaks that I incorporated.
Good modding,
