    Thank you all very much, love your comments :thumb:

    I tought of it yes. But I think this will be to much disturbance

    Update !!!

    When seeing the total package I was not very pleased with the blue/ purple acrylic at the side from the psu cover
    It doesn't fits the case with the blue leds on. The acrylic outside looks fine, but inside it just isn't right I think.
    So made some changes to the psu side panel. The idea for this was coming after I,ve did some brainstorming for some branding.
    I was placing some casebadges from ZOTAC And then it hits me !!!

    [​IMG]

    Why not do a special thanking to my sponsors because without them this build was not possible with these high-end products.
    I'm going to make a new sidecover with the engraving of all logo's from the sponsors
    Just a little tut how I did it:

    For this I'm gonna use my good old dremle with flex shaft

    [​IMG]

    And I'm using for the lines and shading diamond wheel points

    [​IMG]

    Print and cut the logo's from ZOTAC, MSI, MNPCTECH, BITSPOWER, IT-Service.be and Coolermaster

    [​IMG]

    Using the ZOTAC logo and past it behind the acrylic

    [​IMG]

    For me it works better with a dark background and a light aside the acrylic

    [​IMG]

    Engrave the outlines with the diamont point at low speed

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Removed the logo when finished all the lines from the name

    [​IMG]

    and then using the diamond wheel

    [​IMG]

    to do the shading

    [​IMG]

    After lots of coffee and some hours... the result

    [​IMG]

    Ok I could have let a machine do it, but it's more fun doing it yourself ;)

    After that I've drilled some 3mm holes for the blue leds

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Placed the leds

    [​IMG]

    And there you have it.... your custom psu sideplate with sponsors :clap:

    Very nice detail Kier :)
    Did you use 6mm acrylic?
    The end results looks nice, and the leds give the perfect touch

    Been getting a lot of folks mentioning this project over past couple of weeks. It's still the cleanest 600T build I've seen.

    Extreme perfection yet again, kinda make it look easy Kier. :D:rock::clap:

    I should tune in to your logs more often for inspiration on neat & tidy, you totally have it mastered & the modding, it's subtle to really match the case your working, subtle but awesome & just looks like it was meant to be that way from the factory as a limited edition which it is after you've done with it. :)

    Very nice manual engraving too mate. :clap:

    stars & rep :D

    So far all of your mods i have seen are extremely nice! very well done on a once again very clean and tidy build.. i love that stealth look but then it all lights up blue and makes you think wow! it captures stealth and colour in one! Great build!
