[Buildlog] Watercooled 900D

[Wums]

Man is that a tight fit...i need a bigger case

corners looking good.

but why the hell is there a hole in my 5.25" bay?

 

[Sir-Weasel]

man i really like where this is going

and i have to agree you need a bigger case
But it is fit to perfection

 

[TUiZHD]

Loving this so far dude always keen to see updates

 

[clone38]

So whats the big hole for then my good man

 

[Wums]

So i thought i could make a cover for the 5.25" bay. i never bend metal sheet...so i made a quick prototype

first bend, and it dosen't look to bad!

moar bending! i'm bender!

it kinda fits....if i take the time to do it right i should be able to make a nice cover

But why do i need a cover? Because my 5.25" bay has holes

And it fits a HDD cage!

MKII of the cover went really well, i took my time (4hours)

Now i have space for 3 secret HDDs !

 

[clone38]

Ahh I see nice stealth mod there

 

[AverageNinja]

I love your ideas, keep 'em coming dude

Today i finally got my plexi for the lightbox!

File it into the right size and but some LEDs in between, easy!

I put this just for a quick look together, and sadly it's way to bright. I think i should get a less translucent plexi for the top.

but it works

 

[Sir-Weasel]

i works is an understatement
it looks flipping amazing
:notworthy::notworthy::notworthy:

i'am absolutly no fan of the corsair 800d and 900d ( if it's not heavly modded )
i just dont like the standard inner layout

but this is going to be an absolute beauty of a 900d
hats off to you sir hats off

:rock::rock::rock:

moar i want moar :lol:

 

[vish93]

That lightbox looks good mate

 

[Hellbeard]

I want to copy this!
Just don't have the skills nor wallet...
Look forward to seeing the finished result

this is my first time modding a case..i think everyone can do it. it dosen't have to be a 900D

 

[Wums]

I bought a second plexi for the top part and cut the ledstrip to the right length. Now i can look at my lightbox without going blind

Move along, there is nothing to see here!

 

[Wums]

I didn't had to much time last week. I finished my hdd tray, had to cut a hole into my back cover

The HDD thingis were to long, so i had to cut the lever. Now it fits nicely!

And now disappear!

My lightbox didn't illuminate 100% even so i had to fix that too...First picture installed in the case!

I bought a Aquaero because it's the best fancontroller ever. I want to hide it somewhere in the case but i'm not sure where...i didn't know that the cheapest version comes with all the functionality, that's kinda nice.

 

[AverageNinja]

Oooh! Aquaero and WB! Shiny!
Looking good mate, keep it up

 

[The Orange One]

The Light box looks even better now mate!
Good Job!

I made a 4-way fan splitter for on of the radiators, i'm a bit rusty when it comes to sleeving but i think it turned out ok.

 

[Wums]

I made fanplitter cables for the rest of my fans, it seems like it's going to be really cramped in the bottom compartment. Even with all fans at 100% and no panels on the case it's really silent.

I also sleeved the front I/O connectors turned out really nice! I forgot how much time consuming sleeving is

The Tower of Cooling!

First of i have to thank the guys from Aquacomputer for their great support! They granted me a really nice discount for my build. Yay Aquacomputer, and speical thanks to Lukas Depre!

I'm really short on time these days, but it will go forward soon. Now i have to unpack all the nice shiny stuff
