Case Mod - In Progress Project KURO: CM 690III by Jesse Palacio

night shot.

 

a little "branding" wont hurt.. i guess.

 

wow, that's cool! keep it up - need more

 

finished the PSU cover.

 

OMG! The finish . . . just . . .

 

subbed

 

carved out a few lines on the ODD/HDD cover with my scoring knife to have the T.U.F. complimented. it's all about fine details. =)

 

started by staring at some scrap acrylic i had..







some paint.. and some glue..



installed



also replaced the front 200 fan wih a couple of corsair SP 120's and moved the dust filter behind the fans. looks better. i accidentally fired an airsoft pellet into the front panel. lol. not hard to fix though. i'll get to it when i can. =)







that's it for the week. i have been lucky enough to get another sponsor for this project. Larkooler will send me a Skywater 330 and it should be at my doorstep in a few days. next big update should be a custom loop installed. thank you for viewing!

 

thanks again to Larkooler for sending me their Skywater 330 to help me finish the build.



i have to find a way to remount the HDD cover since i removed the 5.25 bays.. but here it is now. next update will be the final pics of the finished product. =)

 

it's funny how there were a billion versions of KURO before i decided to "call it a day." well, i guess i operate differently than others. reason being is, i only have ONE pc.. and i need it everyday.. so i mod it, as i use it.

I would like to thank sponsors

COOLER MASTER, Raymen Wu and Wu Michelle for helping me get this project going. I have always prefered Cooler Master products, and it was such an honor to be sponsored by them.

My deepest, and most sincere gratitude goes out to everyone responsible for helping me with this build. ive said this before, and i will say it again..

Thank you ALL,
