Project Acer Predator G6 (showing whats possible)

Levia

My first gaming rig was a Acer Aspire Predator G7760. And i loved that piece of tech. So a few years later i got my self a G6. After a few months i checked some reviews and everyone complained about the same thing. The inside. So i informed me to change some stuff to prove that also factory pc´s also can look awesome with some work and love. Its boring anyway just to buy parts and put them together and say its my own crafted piece of tech. You can change almost any thing you want in a Predator G3 / G6.

After cutting some holes for cablemanagement, changing some parts and put some work in it its looks like this.

Great Job Levia. I was thinking of doing something like this for months. I'm going to use the same AIO watercooler for the CPU, but I also wanted to watercool my gpu, but my choices were limited since the only place to mount a radiator was the back, which can only fit 92mm. But I see that at the front bottom of the case where you've taken out the drive bays there's some sort of grill. Can you mount and fit a radiator there.

Levia

I checked out the space for you its exactly 92x120. so you could only mount 92

where are the power leads coming out of the graphics card going, they come out about 3" then just vanish. ???

Levia

I dont understand what you mean exactly

daytech101

the power lead coming out of  your gpu, where does it go, it aims down, goes along 3 Inches then just disapears? how did you do cable management from the gpu alone?

Levia

i´ve cut holes in the case with a milling

daytech101

so i take it you cut a hole in the bottom of the case and routed the power cable down, under and around the plastic shell of the case?

Levia

If it would be that easy The complete case is modded. I´ve cut a few holes and also added some sheets

Hello,

I JOINED this forum JUST to comment on your work... FANTASTIC!!! I have ordered a G3-710 (DG.E04AA.002) and I would LOVE to see some diagrams for completing this mod on my machine.

I am also looking for a better COOLING solution? 

Finally, Is this POWER SUPPLY "cheap junk" and should I REPLACE it? I have seen several reposrts of RANDOM REBOOTS, etc.

Thank you for your time.

Thanks for your comment. Youre probably lucky to hear im starting my project from scratch and try to do it even more better 😀
