MI-Tazz Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 http://www.modders-inc.com/modules/NDWorklogs/images/Obsidian-00.jpg Bluebeard's Revenge is a mod that I recently did for Corsair on their new Obsidian 800D chassis. The main idea behind the mod was to focus on the Obsidian 800D without compromising its performance and key features. Modding a PC case for most of us here generally means we have no problem in hacking up a case. Well, I am going to have to restrain the urge to hack this monster up and keep things on a moderately tame level. I'm adding this one to the main worklog page on the site, I will post small snippets here as I update it. Worklog Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MI-Tazz Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 http://www.modders-inc.com/modules/NDWorklogs/images/BluebeardsRevenge/Obsidian-00-1.jpg Todays update is all about sleeving...:laughing: The first task I took on was re-sleeving the Corsair HX850W Power Supply. I wanted to change the sleeving color from black to blue, while at the same time sleeve each individual wire individually. Knowing up front that this was going to be a challenging task, I went ahead and ordered in plenty of the 1/8" sleeving and heatshrink.

MI-Tazz Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 http://www.modders-inc.com/modules/NDWorklogs/images/BluebeardsRevenge/Obsidian-00-2.jpg The next step was to do some quick test fitting and checking out cable routing options. With the Corsair Obsidian having a slew of openings to route cables, the routing process should be easier. However, I will make mine a little more challenging by adding a window on the back side. So this means I will need to keep wiring clean on both sides. Page 3 - Test Fitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MI-Tazz Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 http://www.modders-inc.com/modules/NDWorklogs/images/BluebeardsRevenge/Obsidian-00-3.jpg Here I was with the bare setup sitting in front of me. I have the images done and sent off to the laser guy. This is where my world went to HELL in a handbag. On the laser front. The laser developed an issue while etching and cutting the first panel. To keep things simple and short I ended up having to source these parts through two different places just to make sure I ended up with enough parts to finish the build. Unfortunately, this even developed more headaches before it was all said and done. Page 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MI-Tazz Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 http://www.modders-inc.com/modules/NDWorklogs/images/BluebeardsRevenge/Obsidian-00-4.jpg I finally get a call from the painter saying that my parts are finally ready after being almost a week or so late. I made the drive to the shop only to find out that I should have just done the entire process myself. Here I will let a single picture tell the story.

MI-Tazz Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 http://www.modders-inc.com/modules/NDWorklogs/images/BluebeardsRevenge/Obsidian-00-5.jpg With the majority of the paint repairs out of the way I started on the assembly process. I slipped the top panel back into place and secured it with black rivets to match the original ones. If you plan to remove the top panel on the Obsidian 800D, make sure you take your time and look everything over. You will need to undo the motherboard tray from the lower support, as well as the rear support in order to get the top panel to come off.

Yellowbeard Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Hey Tazz. I moved the thread to a new section here. The build was awesome and made it's way out to CES in Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MI-Tazz Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 Yeah, I seen a few shots from a distance of it at the event. Hope they pack it well... would hate to see it damaged in shipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
