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

[ciobanulx]

What an amazing build! We'll have to feature this on our FB page once it's done, I hope you don't mind

Thanks a lot! Of course I don't mind It would be an honour

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

That would be awesome

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

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

Thanks guys! The badge is there to show some love to Bill Owen from MNPCTech for helping support this project Also I really like it there

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

Thanks a lot!

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.

--Rick--

Thanks a lot mate! Yea I will have to see if I can do something about the screws, probably all black would be the way to go

I'd say all silver

Hey guys!

Here it is, tubing all done! The hard tubing used is 1/2" Primochill PETG. First time I've used PETG tubing over acrylic and it's awesome!

So easy to use, heats up and bends much quicker and then can just cut the ends of with a tube cutter

Let me know what you think of the bends, tried to keep tubing to a minimum.

So tight for the 24pin!

Pretty much leaning on the fan. Lucky it's on the back of it so, it's still able to spin.

Thanks for checking it out! I should have final pics up in a few days, will get it filled and install Win 10 on it. Will be my first PC with Win 10 on it.

Cheers,

Alex

Hey guys,

Here it is, last update! The build is finally finished!

Hope you've enjoyed this build logs and like the finished build!

I would like to say thanks again to all my sponsors for this project! Primochill for the awesome fittings and PETG tubing, MNPCTECH for all the modding supplies that came in very handy and of course Icemodz for the custom sleeved cables and LED strips, without them all the neat cable management would not have been possible! Also thanks to GGF Lan Party for kindly donating the Corsair 250D case

The coolant used is Mayhems X1 Clear UV Blue, love the effect it gives, completely clear under normal light and blue under UV!

Hope you guys like the UV effect and if anyone is wondering about the red light, it's from the motherboard and can be turned off in the bios. I took these pics before hooking it up to a monitor and tinkering with it.

Time to start a new project for the Thermaltake CaseMOD Invitaional Season 2, hope to see you all there and here is a sneak peak!

Thanks for checking out my build log!

Cheers,

Alex

I'm not trying to be rude a Thermaltake case really

Splendid work dude well done

I think its about time people drop the TT Hate. They are here and there is nothing we can do about it. Let's see what can be done with their cases as we rarely see any modded TT cases.

It's my opinion dude, I'm just asking the question to the OP

 

[Tolemac]

Maybe TT are sponsoring him?

Hopefully cause i wouldn't pay for a TT product, They would have to pay me ^_^

Hehe, totally respect your opinion. It's just that when you hear so many negative comments about TT. It get's a little monotonous over time.

Anyway, Lets see the new build log ASAP.

Hahaha calm down guys maybe it was a mistake teasing the Tt project, takes away the attention from the finished 250D

Now that I did tease it, here is some more info about it. I've had the honour of being selected to represent Australia in the Thermaltake CaseMOD Invitational Season 2 so this will be my mod for that
