I started reading the novels about 6 years ago and it was very hard to find some copy's of the BT series cos they were out of printing... the new MW.DA series isnt doing it for me that much....
Well that's correct. And you are basically stating, what I heard most people say. I for one, begann reading the BT books back in late 1988/89 or something. Yep, I am really that old!
Back then, I was about twelve, and continued reading every book and following the series since it went out of print in 2003 or so. I've still got all those books here, but in German! They are quite worth a few bucks, I was told...

New pictures as to the current situation:
As you might know, if you followed my thread, there's been many ideas flying around. The pictures shall and can give you only an approximate notion of what I mean, when talking about the so called variant A:
the 90° Window mod. Imagine the
radiator on pic three being just some centimeters beneath the 'window'/rad venting. Can you do that?
Well, that's why I am talking about
90 degrees. But in doing so, I would have to open the side panel for the
fans and airventilation. Something that is very hard for me to accomplish with but the help of a Dremel. I was thinking to have that space lasercut for me, alas, I do not know anyone or any company, who could help me out here. Plus I would have to cut out the back, where there's currently the 120' fan hold.
I've not done that yet, as I simply could not bring myself to a decision. You see, cutting the case in two, may seem a simple thing, but once done, I cannot undo it.
So I do not want to ruin the YY-0420 unnecessarily. And therewith ruin the whole build (!).
After much thinking and measuring, I also found, that maybe it wouldn't be so bad, to leave the already existing rad-grill venting in place (
the one I but made in March, when working for the first time ever with a dremel in hand!). Not touching it for the moment. And to reverse the Monsta into its natural, horizontal position. It stays there by a hair's breadth!!! So the only thing
90 degrees, would be actually the window.
Also, 'cause I want to have my
aquaero controller up front, I would fix the
radiator with the help of a plexiglass sheet, which I will have to measure and custom cut for the undertaking. Thereby creating a kind of air chamber, with all hot air, going out from the top.
This slight adjustment to my preferred layout, also means, that I am currently thinking about the look and size of a proper window on that side. Accepting the fact, that the lower third of
big daddy would stick out of the back of the case (
maybe not a third, but a fifth...), and that you won't be seeing all of it...
What do you think guys?!
