Case Mod - In Progress Corsair Graphite 490T bullet - update: 150811 - Final Pics before Gamescom

wow this looks awesome, suprised corsiar havent contacted you to put this mini case into production

 

It's Bullet Bill!

 

Can't believe I missed this (thank the MOTM page for bringing it up). Looks fantastic.

 

Thanks a lot m8´s!!!

And also a big thank you to Bit-tech.net for the nominee for the motm!!!

hehehe, we really like bullet bill for decades now and we always wanted to airbrush it on something...but always waited for the right time and right case...

In the last days we made a lot of other things (like working on our Weighted Companion Cube)
so we didn´t made that much progress on this mod.....

But what we could handle was to assemble the hardware and change the mainboard for another one which matches our color scheme much more (another reason was that we already assembled the Gigabyte Mainboard in our Wall-E Project )
Beside the Mainboard we also changed the RAM for another pair with color matching heatspreaders.....

We also finished the work on the Reservoir and mounted it together with all other components for a first test so that we could see where we´re going to make the next changes....

 

I love the original case, but what you're doing to is really good That orange (Sunburst Orange??) is such a striking colour, where did you get it from?

 

Awesome, this continues to get better!

 

thanks a lot my friends

Oh yeah, we also love the orange colour! Originally its an laquer from the automotive industries its called "electric orange" and is used on the Ford Focus RS for example


Today we changed a few details....

first we changed the color of the Graphic Card Cooler from grey to orange....




then we changed those orange watercooling tubes for black hoses which we will finally use...



We also added one of the new Coolermaster Fans to the Backside of the Case, the dome of it is already painted in orange as a small detail....

 

The cooler and the fan look fantastic! Please, don't paint bullet bill on the side of the case, it'll ruin the entire look

 

ooh great, you cutted that case in 2 pieces xD and it looks amazing, keep going

 

thx!!


In the last days we finished the painting process of the midplate and putted everything together for the next tests....





then we made a first test how bright the LEDs are, which we already integrated (just to see if we need more)


and we decided that we´re going to change the color of the Fan frame which we use on the Backside of the Case

 

Wow, I seem to have missed this build some how. This is looking seriously sweet, there's a lot of work gone in to it. top modding dude.

 

Love the mini bullet on the psu cover the case shrinking & all the fabrication & paint work is gorgeous, those fans are looking excellent +rep .

 

I agree, the fan looks great! Again, PLEASE don't paint bullet bill on the side, it looks so sophisticated and I think that would ruin it.

 

Character is always many many many many leagues above sophistication in my eyes the Mario bullet rocks & adds a nice fond memorys of fun challenging gaming touch to an awesome mod & it looks so in place & very nicely painted on as a nice extra detail .

I think any modder would like this & anyone who ever enjoyed playing the games would like it too something about some games that just scream fun times which is part of why nintendo done so well, maybe if he was going a bit overkill with the bullet I'd agree but it's just right, these guys are mod masters, I'm blown away by how many quality mods they have done & always working on who knows how many per year lol so yeah they have it down to a fine art & I salute .

I like what your doing mates, seems very near complete keep it up .

 

Today we have an update

But before i start i want to send a big Thank You to Corsair for their Support!!!
Because yesterday a nice packet arrives with our PSU inside




and off course we put it inside the case directly...



and we put in the most of the cables which we will later use....(to see where we have to route them)
and we also changed the color of the Watercooling Block mounting bracket to a matching orange color tone...

 

Looks much much better with more orange now, the balance is right, great work!

 

love the lambo-colors?.. and the shape looks as kid paw mentioned sophisticated +1

Voting this month will be hard

 

hehe... shiny... i love shiney!!!

 

So corsair was as impressed with this mod as we all are .

 

Also unsure of the bullet bill look but will see when its finished, All round though looks stunning
