Modding the Build

You might not call it modding directly, but I did some not so normal things with the Build so let's put it here.

Foot USB Connectors

The Dynamic XL has 2 USB Connectors in the right foot of the case. As I'm quite old and stiff (not really) and the connectors are so far down I removed the cables from inside the case and put them under it. I didn't want to cut them off, you never know.

Fans

I mean you know, I'm not being paid by corsair to do advertisement and it is a Hackintosh with the name of SnowWhite.

So I organized some nice stickers from StickerMule (I can only highly recommend them if they don't have what you need, create an order and add your requests to the comments. I got 2 different sizes of my stickers which they amended to fit correctly and I did only request 20 of each instead of 50 each).

I added some bigger ones to the backside of the fan hub and smaller ones to the front.

Closing Air Gaps

As discussed in the case review I am concerned about how much air I will pull from areas I don't want or push into areas I don't want. So I organized some Polystyrol in white, cut it to size, and used double-sided tape to keep it in place.

Cable Sleeves

Real custom cables are on the project list for next year, and I think they will be needed.

But to keep the cables in place, especially the fans are a pain because of the 2 cables per fan, I used some self-closing wrap around white cable sleeves.

Keeping the case nice and tidy.

Footers

I got magnetic mounts for M3 screws which I screwed under all the Aqua Computer components.

That makes it a lot easier to position them as the case is made from steel.
