    Final Assembly and Fan Install

    Upgrading the 180mm fans is a little more involved but is really nothing more than swapping the old fan for the new AP182 and installing everything back into the case.  Likewise reassembling the case is a reversal of the teardown process, with rivets.

    Given that the I/O section is already sunken I felt it would look better if I left it black while painting the rest of the chassis orange.  I really like the contrast but do wish I had masked off the orange part from the top panel so that everything was still black.

    There is no mistaking the fan upgrade in this case given how the white AP182 fans stand out against this orange and black.  An added benefit to this upgrade is a variable speed dial that installs at the top of the chassis where the stock dual speed switches were located.
