PROJECT LOG First Mod 600T

[cheezy]

Hi this is my first mod ever that wasn't buy x part and just slap it in and call it a mod. The mods are pretty minor but have bigger plans for it soon.
Sorry about quality of pics taken on my HTC Evo 3D (5mp)

Mods so far:
1.Painted white tubes
2.Painted crossfire bridge
3.Painted video card cover and added a black pinstripe
4.Added a NZXT 120mm white fan rear exhaust

OutSide

InSide

will be redoing the white tubes


I plan on
1.Painting the front fan white fins with black bracket and removing leds
2. Adding sound activated blue led strips for each audio channel and a always on UV light
3.Cutting the front mesh for better air flow (200mm)
4.Sleeving the sata, PCI-E,8 pin and 24 pin in a white high mesh
5. This is kinda out there for my current lack of skills but cutting most of the top mesh out building a bracket to hold the rad so I can set up a push system

Any thought or suggestions and tips are most wecome

Nice case, will be watching your progress...
I just got a 600T as well and will be looking at doing some similar minor mods like removing some of the mesh for better air flow and a top mounted radiator with push/pull fans.
Nice white accents so far!

I painted the fan and removed the LEDs but misfortune fell upon me I broke the wire sod connections and kinda lost the back lid? to the fan so I decided to just get a new fan since i didn't really like the performance of it anyways so I ordered a
BitFenix Spectre Pro 200mm All White
Front

Back

Awesome job. The mesh backplates look great. Very clean build....

The covers on the cards do they come off easy? And yes a really nice job on the case! AJ.

Thanks
The mesh back plates are attached to acrylic sheets that are attached the the cards. What I did was score and snap the acrylic to a slightly smaller depth than the pcb bored and used a dremel to cut exhaust grooves for heat to be able to escape. I then cut some small acrylic squares about the size of the screw holes on the pcb and secured them in place with Scotch/3M double sidded medium strength tape. Then I just connected the squares to the main acrylic sheet and basically did the same for the mesh. Its on their pretty good but not so much that I can't take it apart if I need to. Just need to take my time if I wanted to disassemble it. I took it apart once already with no problems.

Lookin Good
I was trying to decide wear to place the LEDs in my case, I think I might go a similar route to what you did on the side panel.
Do you have a picture with the side panel on and the case lights on?
Also where did you get the black mesh from?

I have a link to a youtube video for the leds. I have them set up to a dimmer switch to go from full bright to slow dim to off but the switch has allot of settings from strobe,Blink and fade and you can adjust the speed of them.
YouTube Video sorry about the quality of the video took it on my phone In person looks way better than the video


I got the LEDs, dimmer,LED rocker and connectors from http://www.superbrightleds.com/

I got the Modder Mesh from http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g44...isc_Case_Parts-Modders_Mesh_Panels-Page1.html

Funny you should say that was looking for a way to have it set to quick fade like a heart beat but couldn't find a dimmer with that setting.

Cool, video was just what I was looking for
You answered my next question before I had to ask it...I might be adding a dimmer control to my setup now

This is the dimmer I used its only for use on a single color 8mm strip but has built in memory so will always default to last setting.

Thanks, I was looking I had found the RGB multi-colored mini controller first, I didn't realize you could have a strip of 7 changing colors... interesting.

I've now ordered one of the single LED mini controllers, should be fun
