Case Mod - In Progress Be Quiet S.B.800

Be Quiet Silent Base 800 Casemod

Hello everyone. Today I have been given the opportunity to keep on my passion,case modding and for that I am grateful.
I will be using the Silent base 800 Silver Edition from Be Quiet. It only comes black + accent colors so I will be painting the whole case White. I am using Alphacool water cooling products and hardline tubing it is
This will be X99 system with Geforce 970 Gpu. SSD's and other hardware will be shown when it arrives.

This is possible because of my 4 main sponsors. THANK YOU for your support






Now lets get on with it and take a look at the case and other hardware and mods.











Also has a dustfilter for the front



OH Yeah and a Power supply with legendary silent operation and Platinum... NICE.





I like you can hook up Fans or LED's if you like




The mods I am working on now is to fit 2x360mm x 60mm thick Alphacool NexXxos Radiators on top and front of the case so I had to open her up and do a surgery





After removing some rivets the cutting with dremel and jigsaw began.












See if it Fits Now



Well that's my start on it. I am going to get it ready to fit so I can put aluminum plates on top and paint the chassis WHITE

Thanks for tuning in and hope you like it,

Ice modz are awesome, decently priced custom cables & as long as they are around I'll never do my own cables.

Subbed.

 

thats good to hear you like them. I do to

 

Well a small update of my radiator and how I did it.

I fastened the 2mm Aluminum plate with these machine screws M4
And the Stone could come in handy as prop in my Mod we will see







Nasty film on top of the Aluminum



There will be Fans on top of the Radiator and then the roof of the case so this wont be seen but I wont leave that stock. It will get a sleek looking cutout and aluminum

Stay tuned for more and thanks for stopping by

Looks very promising

 

Thanks man

 

So I checked out 6 of Alphacool fans and painted them White. Those are NB e-loop 1200 rpm









The result is this and I like it.



Thanks Alphacool.





See you soon with more updates folks

Looks very good! Cant wait to see more of this!

 

Seems to be a few sponsored builds from Iceland lately wouldn't have thought water cooling was needed there lol

Btw that stone is actually a piece of quartz crystal

 

That stone name is Silfurberg in Icelandic and can be found in the mountains and yah we have hot summers but heat reaches around 26 C the most and lasts only 4 months...

 

Thanks man.

 

Well then. I began prepping the case for painting and all except outer panels are painted so take a look and have fun.



SSD Holder:







Sidepanels



Pure white Satin Matt



Now I need to keep on painting the rest of the case as well as cutting more aluminum panels for inside of the case and more.

Thanks for tuning in and come back for more updates soon...

Pretty cool project man. I like how you've got stuck in straight away with the cutting - haha!

Also, I keep seeing lots of really good paint jobs on the forum. Did you do the paint yourself and what brand/techniques did you use?

 

Thank you Chris.

Yes I painted this myself and I am using a spray canister and the color number is 9010 and is from DupliColor >> Acrylic Lacquer Satin Matt Pure White is the name on the can.

 

Ah sweet. Thanks for info! I've used Rust-o-lium spray in the past, but Dupli-Colour looks like Automotive paint? - Hard Core! No wonder the finish is professional..

 

Hi people.

I kept on today and and put some 2mm Aluminum sheet metal in the case.
I used m3 or 6/32 which was already on the case from factory so it saved me some tapping and only thing left for the 2panels is cut for Radiator and cable management + paintjob on those .



so the plastic taps fit I roughly filed some bits of.





Just checking if the front bezel fits



And it fits. I want to touch up the corner were the tabs show even though they will not be seen with the windowed sidepanel



Thats it for now. Share your opinion if you like and until next time
Take Care.

Time for an update mates.
First I did a 360mm cutout for the front. paintjob with some silver satin finish and I am in the beginning stage for the PSU Cover.

Outlined and ready for work.













don't mind the chocolate butter. I will eat it tonight



That is it for me today. Plenty more to do and I will see you in next update.

Hello to everyone. I'M back. hehehe. with a sweet and short update.

hey fellow modders, readers and lurkers
In this Update we see I spray-painted the side fanhole/airvent white and taped over the be quiet letters and painted one coat of silver acrylic over the black letters. Final touch on those letters still needs to get second layer of it.

Also I am working on PSU cover only leaving out the side for white acrylic. Lets take a look at the photos and low light problem on couple of them













stay tuned for more and thanks for stopping by
