Here is another approach to using the Overkill grill, I'm using the HAF 922 again. I've modified the front intake with a Honeycomb Modders Mesh



The HAF 922 bezel is screwed on with 6, screws.







Honeycomb Modder's mesh



Using a large Flat head screw driver to bend a crease on the mesh.







Removing the ribs on the front bezel of the HAF 922





A Rotary tool with any cutting wheel attachments makes for a good edge grinder.



Using hand file to finish the edge.







Applying SEM brand self-etching primer to the mesh.







Fastened on the Overkill "Sniper" fan grill.

Next I will be customizing the front bezel for 2x 120mm intakes


I'm using paper to make a template for 2x 120mm front intake plate.


Tracking template onto 1/8" thick aluminum sheet.


I used a Jigsaw with 18 TPI metal cutting blade to cut the design. I will refine and finish the cuts with a hand file later.


The 1/8" thick aluminum won't fit in my bending brake, so I used my bench vise to bend the aluminum.

Glad you liked it furball, say goodbye, because it's shifting into Overkill mode from here on

I'm using a Mouse sander with medium Grit sandpaper to remove all of the blemishes and scratching in the surface of the aluminum. I'll be drilling holes and using pop rivets to fasten on the new aluminum plate

I like the look of the sniper fan grill on the moders mesh. Also, is that "plate" going to be on top like a piece of armor?

I've attached the new bezel plate on with pop rivets.





In order to use the Knock-out punch, you need to drill a 2" pilot hole.


Greenlee Knock out Punches
Greenlee part # 730EBB-120 Last time I inquired, they were around $450 in the states + Large 3/4" socket wrench, and 2" socket. I wouldn't use anything less than 19" long socket wrench. Estimated purchase price of $550 new.

I dissected the chassis for paint. The top panel with the power switch and I/O is fastened on with plastic tabs, located beneath the top panel. Very easy to remove!



The case chassis, just before removing the rear i/o slot covers, noise dampening felt strips for PSU and case feet.
