Corsair Air 540 - need side chamber mod suggestions

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

First time poster but read a lot.

 

I was wondering if any of you guys had ideas on how to mode the PSU chamber to make it more practical. I'm thinking of adding some sort of platform or rail that would go from top of inner 5.5in bay to grill on other side.

 

I'd like to know what you guys think. I obviously wouldn't put much loaf on it, would mainly use velcro strips for cable management (don't like how they just hang).

 

I was thinking of black wire shelving or some kind of aluminum plate. I wanna make this as seemless as possible.

 

Also thinking of screwing an extra fan in that chamber just for the heck of it if it doesn't affect aesthetics too much.

Interesting build. I don't have a home yet as I'm finishing up University after many years so I'm looking for something that involves a bit less hardware. I like what was done with it but I'll keep it as stock as possible.

 

Perhaps something like this but in black:

I'm going for simple but there might be better ways of going for simple...

 

Thanks,

Went through a whole forum search with 540 as the search term and looked through all threads including official owners thread.

 

They all did an amazing job customizing their wiring and colors but I haven't seen much modding. In fact, your 540 is the only modded build I've managed to find (and an impressive one at that).

 

Must be blind or not looking properly...

Thanks for your responses.

 

The first thread I had seen and again, you guys are WAYYYYY above the level of modding I can achieve right now.

 

What I'm thinking of achieving with the experience I have in modding is 3rd world material lol.

 

I'll keep looking. If you ever see something, let me know.
