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 wanted 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 request 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).

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

Closing Air Gaps

Like 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 organised 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.
