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

[ciobanulx]

Hey guys,

I have some more fittings to show, this time some extensions. Thanks a lot to Hugh from mydiy.com.au for helping out with these Barrow fittings. You can check out his eBay store HERE with some good prices on fittings.

Not sure if I will use all of them yet but they will definitely come in handy for all the small tight corners in this build. I also need some spots to be really strong so just tubing won't do. Will make sure to show once ready.

Thanks for checking it out.

Cheers,

Alex

Hey guys!

Here are the awesome cables from Icemodz! Thanks a lot to Mundi for making and sending me this kit. It's made from nice flexible paracord sleeve and should fit nicely in the system. Make sure to check out the icemodz.com website for all your custom cable and LED needs.

Thanks for checking it out!

Cheers,

Alex

What's with the shrink on the 24 pin extension?

Thanks

What's with the shrink on the 24 pin extension?

That's how Corsair PSUs are, they have split cables going into the 24PIN, in order to keep the ends clean the cable is split mid way and that's why there is heatshrink there

That bends. Ah well no avoiding it I guess.

Did you shrink with a lighter? I can see burn marks.

Not sure what you mean by it bends? Cables were made by Icemodz like stated

Hey guys,

Here's another update on this build! Most of the fittings and cables are now in and it's ready for tubing up! Just wanted to give you guys a quick look inside before tubing up.

That chrome colored fittings is the only straight rotary fittings that I had. Once the front radiator is in that fittings is not seen.

You can also see the LED strips are in, these are UV LEDs from Icemodz.

Not sure if you notice but I bent a piece of acrylic around the 80mm fans and also around the 140mm fan, thought it cleans things up a bit.

Thanks for checking it out!

Cheers,

Alex

Very nice work Alex

I'll be interesting (and will probably be great) to see how the light reflects of the chrome strips, definitely adds something. Pictures!

I'm so glad you have windows on top and on the side, it would a great shame to hide all that work.

This is looking sweeeeeeett

Royalties anyone?

It looks really really good. Corsair should make a limited run of the case with most of the mods done to it in here

 

[Feronix]

I really like this build a lot more than I thought I was going too!

Still not sure on the badge next to the PSU though

 

[Asperatis]

Very, very, very nice work there mate! I really like what you have done with the see through panels on the case ^_^

 

[Grey_beard]

Same here, but I don't it'll bother me in any way as long that it stays in the rear

Hi

Love the build. I wish you had done this when I still had a right in a Obsidian 250D. I would have "borrowed" some of them and modded the crap out of the case. Unfortunately I gave that rig to my son in law. Lots of great ideas for this case. Can't wait for the finished product.

One thing that is making my OCD itch is the combo of silver and black screws on the rear panel. I would try to get them all black or all silver.
