Corsair Grapithe 600T



Out of the box











Ofcourse right away disassembling the Corsair

Taken off the front









There is a plastic rim on the front which also came off, maybe i'm gonna do something with it









Back is removable also



And the top



Nice panel



And the case without the plastic



Oww almost forgot, the hdd racks are easily removable





Almost nothing left



First modification. For this i've used 3M Di-Noc CARBON FIBER FILM

3M Di-Noc CARBON FIBER FILM



First done the control panel and the narrow strips on the sides



After that did one sidepanel with the carbon film















For now this was the start, more to come when I have some more hardware

Hi, my modding friends
Did some nice things to the 600T
For this I have 2 Black Ice GT Stealth 240 rads



And Coolermaster has given me 4 very good fans. The Turbine Master Mach 0.8



I'm going to place 2 of these on top of the 600T



Need to take of the cap for the mesh panel otherwise it don't fit



Beneed the Turbine masters I am gonna place 1 black ice rad



The other two turbine nasters are coming in the front





Going to place the second rad inside



It dont fit, so have to cut a piece out of the bay





Back to the top again. I think it's not finished..............so it's acryl time
For this IT-service has send me a beautiful piece of 5mm UV blue acryl



Marked for cutting



And cut it



Cut the little pieces out



Still need to file this



And it fits



Mesh cover placed



Next step, marked the fans



Did the cutting with my hightech fretsaw



Without the tape. Hmm looks like .....................





And placed the Turbine masters







The idea is to past black film over the acryl with blue lines visible

Last week a received a very nice package from IT-Service



Thanks Eddy's
First the great motherboard: The ASRock Z68 Extreme4



Two kits Corsair 4 GB DDR3-1600 Kit



and the beautiful Intel® Core™ i5-2500K



The big ASUS ENGTX580 DCII/2DIS/1536MD5



















And a nice Sony Optiarc AD-5260S-0B



I'm not only showing you good products but have also done some work
The front. I want to give the same looks as the top, with acryl and 2 CM fans.
The plastic front



Here I have cut away the middle bar



Sawn a piece of 5mm blue acryl





And again the same as the top..........sawn the two fans







Made the slot for the dvd





Removed the tape





But we're not there yet, transparent is not what I want. That's why I have used black film to make small borders, later on with light









Paste tape again



Now I have cut out a 5mm line



Removed all the tape













Between the DVD and the fan is coming a bay reservoir with the blue acrylic as res window

Update !!!

Did my first cutting in the 600T this week
The 2 fans in the front





And the slot for the in/ outlet radiator



Also drawn the top fans



And after some dremel power





Also past black film on the top acryl



And slide out the same lines as the front panel



Put everything together







The fans in the front





And the outlet from the rad with just enough space to put the fittings in



The 600T how it's gonna be



Bay res update !!!

Today I've received my BP reservoir. Nice and small











Removed the acryl window from the reservoir and marked the holes for the M4 bolds





Perfect fit



Cut the lines out of the black film. Same shape as the internal from the res





And placed it





I've did some modding for the midplate. bend two angels in a mesh panel.











For the side of the midplate I've sawn a piece of 5mm transparant acryl





And another piece 5mm blue acryl







Just two pics of the big big Asus





Back to the transaprant acryl, past black film on it



Cut out the outline



And past 3m Carbon on the smaller plate



And put the both together





Cut also the outline from the smaller blue acryl





Also sawn and bend a piece of aluminium for the side from the radiator



Placed like this



And the last thing I did is a piece of aluminium for the drive bay side



All together





That's it............see you soon
