250Dee Corsair 250D Build Log
Intro:
Hey all, i'm starting a new build now that my 760T Entry to the Corsair PC Domination contest is close to done, and am just waiting for aesthetic acrylic pieces.
I'm new to posting builds, but for those that are curious, here's a link to my PC Domination Entry, OCN Worklog, and OC3D Rig Post
PC Domination Link
OCN Lucky Seven Build Log
OC3D Rig Post
Plans:
-My plans for this build are to watercool everything possibly feasible in the case, there are 3 stock radiator mounting spots in the case, 2x 80mm, 1x 120/140/180/200, 1x240
-Due to size restrictions, i will be using acrylic tubing due to the fact it will be easier to route the tubing, than to use normal flexible tubing
-There is a vent for intake/exhaust where the video card will be, but since i will not be using it, i will be turning that area into a plexiglass window
-The front of the 250D is like most corsair obsidian cases, where the front panel covers the fans intake, so i will be removing the center area of the front panel, and creating a grill
-Also due to limited spacing, the wiring will also need to be shortened aswell, i will be using one of the smaller available Corsair PSU's that i have at my disposable, which is a AX860
-If room allows, i will be adding a vertical slim slot load drive through the top of the case
