Upgrade-time! :) ...and this time h3x is undergoing a complete cabinet+gfx upgrade. From a rather minimalistic HTPC starter-cabinet, into a completely new 2-sectioned, airflow-designed multi-cabinet :)

Silverstone MILO (ML03) disassembled. |
The above picture shows my old HTPC cabinet after being almost completely stripped. Only things still left inside are the system-SSD (
Corsair ForceGT) and the 400W PSU (
Silver Power).
I did
not foresee how hard it would be to dismantle the
MILO HTPC mATX-cabinet, everything was so close together that it made it near impossible to figure out where to start off.
After viewing it from different angles, and bringing in a fresh set of eyes; everything got pulled out eventually
Then, the time to re-mount everything again came around.
Re-assembly

I now have a overhauled gaming-rig / workstation / hypervisor with 3-4x more graphics-processing power than I previously had :P and it WILL get tested ;)
I opted to using the 3 Corsair SP120 fans in the front, to complement the total airflow going through the cabinet. So that's a total of 4 fans in the front for intake and 2 in the back for exhaust.
