[Project Log] TOXIC CHROME (modded Corsair 250D)

Whilst I truly believe that water cooling ram is the crappest of the crap I must say I do like the skulls. A lot.

ARRRRRGGGGG :D
 
I use it often. I suggest buying the 90degrere blades for longer length pieces. Also it is perfect for hobby wood 18mm thick. i did a practise piece and managed to cut out the razer logo quite well on thin acryclic.

The only thing I dont like is the guide piece that they provide, its supposed to help cut straight, but there is too much play/wobble on it so you cant trust it.

Also I DONT recommend cutting thick pieces of metal. None of the blades I had could take it and snapped :( I suppose its possible but you have to go extremely slow.


edit* Sorry for thread jacking.

Awesome rig setup so far. I love the skull on the mem blocks. thats pretty impressive. I have my Cameo on order so hopefully it comes soon.

Thanks and no worries, thanks for all the info, it's good to know what other people do with the moto-saw :)

Skull decals look good! You should sand down the GB logo on the mobo heat sink and put a skull on there too.

Hey guys,

Front panel is done and here is how I applied it on, very simple with some double sided 3M tape.

Hey guys,

Another quick update. The GPU is good to go and I also cut up these fan frames that will go around all the fans in the build to give them more colour.

You can see on the GPU the pink and purple caps have been covered with chrome vinyl.

This is the design I went for with the frames to just cover the edges of the fans.

Just need to get painted and filed down a little bit more, will be same silver colour as the side and front panel.

Hey guys,

Sorry for the lack of updates on the build. I have been very busy moving houses over the last few weeks.

All done now but no internet at home yet, so posting update from work. Should have a lot more room and time to work on builds from now on and will hopefully wrap this build log up soon but I'm still waiting on custom cables to arrive.

Here are the finished grills/covers I made for the fans.

I just woke up and that top picture basically looked like a video card to me for a split second and now I'm convinced someone needs to make a video card like that.

Does look really nice mate!

Hey guys,

More work in progress! Found a nice spot for The Mod Zoo monkey badge and it looks pretty nice in there.

Just a few things to fix up and start working on some cable management for the fans and LEDs. Once the sleeved cables arrive and I can get everything in and start tubing up finally!

The two mounting holes for the 80mm fan grill don't really match unfortunately so will need to fix that :)
