Case Mod - In Progress Ultra Box / Corsair 700D - NEWS NEWS NEWS!!!

Makes a good time then I will not put new divide by shares to update everything at once.

White LEDs installed in the acrylic sheet:



Sanded the bowl of the LEDs for them to stay square and improve the dissipation of light:



Photos as was the effect of:





Mounting done:













And here's another new ...

The mobo and CPU (2600k) new:





Here everything assembled and running the WC:









More photos:





I made a change in the SLI bridge:








And thinking about the "sustainability" reuse a piece of black acrylic and glued a piece of aluminum left over would go to the trash and then "recycle" them.

 

At this stage of the project, some things were taking to be done, I decided to get their hands dirty and look here what I jotted down:



And at the end looked like this:



That there is a part of upper grill of the case.

I finish on the grill, and pulled the edges limei and decided to make the effect "brushed":

 

I made the cut at the top of the case for future installation of the radiator grill and 4x120:













I also did something else ... as the feet of the 700D are aluminum guess what I did...

 

I had disassembled the case to give all that cleaning before getting all ready to Campus Party:



Then I mounted on top of all my hard work station:







But I noticed that the radiator started leaking coolant:



So I had to disassemble the entire hard again and disassemble also the watercooler.

After this "crash course" just decided to mount a hard time in the case, but still want to give some finishing touches on the division of acrylic LED mounted in case the hardware without that part:





I took well to install those brackets I made to hold my 570 which is very simple:









The material used to make these media was this:

Insulating tape:



Angles drawer, or better... this here:



Bulging with hexagon socket screw (allen) and self-locking nut:





Drill "HSS" and drill / screwdriver:







Once marked, you go tape to isolate the bracket.

As the bracket has a hole, you need not stick it, then after leaving the bracket at the time hold the back of the PCB of the VGA, stick to the cabinet in the desired location and after drilling is fixed to the bracket the screw and nut self-locking.

The self-locking nut leaves the screw fixed without this transfer, but it is necessary to screw the nut is secured by a key as it is screwed.

That done, you are ready to support, and this without spending almost anything material.

Now back to the project...

As I am without the CPU cooler, I had to buy a cooler "temporary", so after a look at some reviews and comparisons on sites I decided to go the Corsair A50, so I bought it and installed it in the case:









But I changed the fan that comes with it for one of my 120CFM:



After that, I also had a problem because of my mobo Gigabyte P67A-UD7-B3 that showed a defect and had to send the seller to exchange it for another and also buy another radiator but this time a 4x120.

 

As my UD7 went straight to hell, I bought this mobo "stopgap" to be able to use at least the PC:









And attach great news, I received the missing pieces to complete the casemod:











Sanded the piece that will be installed later on the side.

Here the pieces ready to be painted with matte varnish:











The end result:







I cut the side that goes to "frame"





grinding tool is for the weak... grinder is the deal...



Cutting done and pictures from the side panel:

 

For those who wondered, "what he will do at the front plate?"

Here's the answer:









And a "plus"... the grill:



Now is the new radiator XSPC EX480 for the project:





The gril that was "made by Marcostech":



A "peripheral" that was missing:



This week I picked up the acrylic ordered to complete the project and I am already mounting.

I am also waiting for a vendor's position on my UD7, I hope to have it or another mobo "decent" at Campus Party Brazil 2012

Thanks to all who follow the project!

 

And follow the news!

Radiator with fans mounted:











And as the screws are for 25mm fans and mine are bigger, almost 40mm I did a "support" with duct tape:



Once the tape is to not let the fans vibrate as well as a type of nut to hold the fans

And how could not miss ... the watercooler assembled and the tubing sleeved:









I thank my friend Tannus Cassius who helped with the tips on how to do this sleeve in the tubing

What remains now is little and the Campus Party Brazil 2012 is getting there

 

Very good man..

 

Thanks man!

I'm trying my best!

 

News, almost the end of the project.

Acrylic window:





The frame already installed:





It was at some points with about 1 mm apart, but something that does not affect the final look



And this window should look like

Thanks to all who follow the project and it should be finished tomorrow.

Thanks to all

 

And finally... the case ready (just need to install the hardware ).



(I put a little bag on the block from the CPU to not scratch the acrylic partition)





















For now it's just, I just install the hardware on Sunday when I will prepare for the Campus Party Brazil 2012

Then more photos on Monday only direct Campus Party

To give you an idea of how I designed the case here are the pictures:











I hope everyone enjoyed the final look of the case

 

Looks good Marcos have fun at the campus party mate.

 

Wow, probably the best obsidian mod I've seen.. To honest I hate sleeved tubing but I think the sleeved tubing in this one makes it look like phasecooling
