Kovoet Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Thought I would start this as there is not one for this sexy little case. So let's see what you guys have got 1
HOODedAssault Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) http://i61.tinypic.com/t6q7up.jpg http://i61.tinypic.com/14o2gt4.jpg Guess im first up. Little messy in the back but I know where everything is. Specs are in the drop down. Also fans on the nh-d14 have been changed to corsair h100 fans. Little update for mine with h100 fans and new ram. Sorry corsair guys I could not find vengeance pro reds anywhere near me. Tiger direct Canadacomputers and a few other stores only stocked the silvers. I'm disappointed and had to get some red Patriot viper 3. Also added a 512gb ssd for games, hidden in the back tho. Corsair should make the vengeance pros come with all colors just like there fans. It's just a separate piece anyways... http://i61.tinypic.com/ftzzfn.jpg Edited February 16, 2014 by HOODedAssault 1
Kovoet Posted February 5, 2014 Author Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Busy redoing mine. Clothing off the hole on the bottom of the case. But here is mine for now. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/811/o5ig.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/196/2zkt.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/824/jv58.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/513/ukmi.jpg Edited February 5, 2014 by Kovoet
KrissrocK Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I have a couple pre-finished pics I haven't received all the parts I need just yet.... http://imageshack.com/a/img687/4748/uk5r.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img37/741/34l5.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img819/296/ku8m.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img829/443/6q9f.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img691/4944/o7aa.jpg I'll post up some more once I get these other fans I've ordered... 1
wytnyt Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 bought my 540 the middle of december here is how it looks today:o: yeah i know...
KrissrocK Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 haha I do like the carbon wrap Kov... I've got some of that stuff lying and I was looking to wrap something on the case too. But was too impatient to get the rig running
Kovoet Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 bought my 540 the middle of december here is how it looks today:o: yeah i know... LOL not even started yet lol. I want another one so I can spend time doing want I want with the modding

But was too impatient to get the rig running Thanks and it's easy stuff to work with, done my mice with it to. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1024x768q90/823/2f96.jpg Start my work with it this weekend as I want to close off the bottom of the case. Going to use some acrylic covered in carbon
wytnyt Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 LOL not even started yet lol. I want another one so I can spend time doing want I want with the modding no im started but i have 3 other builds so i can take my time with this but having a evga 780 and a 4930k processor sure makes the waiting hard...;): whats taking time is moving the psu outward 1/4 inch,cutting the 2 bay 5.25 drive cage down to 1 1/4 bays and modding the top and front of the case. theres 10 different pieces of sheet metal being used in this build and doing all the cutting and bending by hand. time and energy is very slim so its been small steps so far.
Jimbo64 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 I have a couple pre-finished pics I haven't received all the parts I need just yet.... I love this build. I thought I was the only one who mounted their H100i radiator vertically!
Kovoet Posted February 7, 2014 Author Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) I love this build. I thought I was the only one who mounted their H100i radiator vertically! Yeah being seeing that a lot but my 7970 matrix would not allow me to do that. One thing I am finding is that a lot of people are putting 3 x 120mm in front. My acrylic, carbon and some of the nuts and bolts have arrived http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1024x768q90/824/0wjn.jpg Edited February 7, 2014 by Kovoet
HOODedAssault Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Been thinking about filling mine with 120mm cougars to match my gpu. Currently using spectre pros as they move more air than the stock fans and do it at about half the volume. Plus I think they look better aesthetically.
Kovoet Posted February 9, 2014 Author Posted February 9, 2014 Right I have now closed the bottom of the case now and why the bottom of the Corsair Carbide 540 comes with a opened bottom I do not know. Changed to a lot of red in the case. My AX850 now has red wiring, the SP120mm fans now have the red clip ons http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1024x768q90/706/1ctg.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1024x768q90/513/a4sx.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1024x768q90/822/sxca.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1024x768q90/839/5zsl.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1024x768q90/33/k7vr.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1024x768q90/534/bc87.jpg
KrissrocK Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Didn't this case just recently release? How are your vents so dusty already? Here are my finished pics...Sorry the background mess... http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1280x1024q90/585/chsk.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1280x1024q90/543/0oxj.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1280x1024q90/827/kdeh.jpg 1

I had that board with 3930K and vrm overheating causes a lot of cpu throttling while stress testing. http://www.frozencpu.com/products/14589/ex-blc-1021/Heatkiller_MB-SET_ASUS_P9X79_-_Full_Coverage_Water_Block_Kit_-_Nickel_Top_11432.html 1

Jimbo64 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Nothing fancy but here's mine. http://i62.tinypic.com/15zs0oh.jpg http://i61.tinypic.com/174ccz.jpg
Kovoet Posted February 14, 2014 Author Posted February 14, 2014 Love the wiring jimbo and the colour scheme
Yellowbeard Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 The metallic paint on the fan trim rings is definitely a nice touch. Goes well with the wiring color combo. Nicely done.
Kovoet Posted February 14, 2014 Author Posted February 14, 2014 I officially now have no HDD's in my case and going only with SSD's. Want to do somethinbg at the back for SSD's
foodstampz Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Figured I would take a nicer night shot. Lot's of corsair hardware in this photo... http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/706/tsym.jpg
