The top of my 710 was getting mad hot so i decided to evict all that hot air with a 120. here's the disassembly:
drilling the top panel rivets:
the middle rivets that the front panel bolted to were a serious PITA. they are the big fat ones still mostly intact.
topless 710:
measuring:
making the marks:
4.5" holesaw money shot:
I realised REAL quick that my craptastic 13.2V drill couldnt spin the holesaw worth a damn...
...so i made a quick run to the sears
needless to say, problem solved:
a few minutes later, i mounted a temp grill onto it pending the arrival of my really cool new fangrilles (the fan is a delta WFB1212M, 78CFM)
case ambient temps dropped 5°C.
hope you liked it, fellows!
edit: I reattached the top with machine screws in the back and fanscrews in the front.
