Out of the box

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/DSC00504.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/DSC00506.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/DSC00509.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/DSC00512.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/DSC00616.jpg

Ofcourse right away disassembling the Corsair

Taken off the front

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/DSC00479.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/DSC00496.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/DSC00497.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/DSC00499.jpg

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

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/DSC00501.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/DSC00500.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/DSC00502.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/DSC00479.jpg

Back is removable also

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/DSC00495.jpg

And the top

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/DSC00487.jpg

Nice panel

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/DSC00492.jpg

And the case without the plastic

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/DSC00480.jpg

Oww almost forgot, the hdd racks are easily removable

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/DSC00486.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/DSC00485.jpg

Almost nothing left

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/DSC00482.jpg

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

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...ctech_com2.jpg

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

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/DSC00520.jpg

After that did one sidepanel with the carbon film

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/DSC00524.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/DSC00527.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/DSC00534.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/DSC00540.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/DSC00539.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/DSC00537.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...1/DSC00541.jpg

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


Grtz.

I like the carbon fiber. I would love to see this done on the white edition of this case because there's just something really sexy about a brilliant white and carbon fiber look.

What size rad(s) are you planning on using?

The plan is to use 2 x Black Ice GT Stealth 240

congratulations, magnificent job!

Why the stealths, and not Swiftech MCR or XSPC RS? Both perform better, and are about the same thickness. Unless you had those rads already, in which case it makes sense :p:.

kier raises the bar again, looking forward to seeing it with a 600T Clear panel!

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

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSC00686.jpg

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

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSC00691.jpg

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

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSC00695.jpg

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

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSC00698.jpg

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

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSC00705.jpg

The other two turbine nasters are coming in the front

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSC00710.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSC00718.jpg

Going to place the second rad inside

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSC00712.jpg

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

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSC00711.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSC00717.jpg

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

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSC00725.jpg

Marked for cutting

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSC00724.jpg

And cut it

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSC00727.jpg

Cut the little pieces out

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSC00728.jpg

Still need to file this

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSC00729.jpg

And it fits

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSC00735.jpg

Mesh cover placed

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSC00731.jpg

Next step, marked the fans

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSC00737.jpg

Did the cutting with my hightech fretsaw

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSC00739.jpg

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

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSC00740.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSC00744.jpg

And placed the Turbine masters

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSC00746.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSC00748.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...2/DSC00749.jpg

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

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/DSC00753.jpg

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

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/DSC00879.jpg

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

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/DSC00869.jpg

Here I have cut away the middle bar

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/DSC00870.jpg

Sawn a piece of 5mm blue acryl

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/DSC00872.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/DSC00871.jpg

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

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/DSC00873.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/DSC00875.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/DSC00878.jpg

Made the slot for the dvd

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/DSC00880.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/DSC00881.jpg

Removed the tape

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/DSC00889.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/DSC00885.jpg

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

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/DSC00891.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/DSC00892.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/DSC00893.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/DSC00895.jpg

Paste tape again

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/DSC00896.jpg

Now I have cut out a 5mm line

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/DSC00897.jpg

Removed all the tape

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/DSC00900.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/DSC00898.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/DSC00906.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/DSC00908.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/DSC00904.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/DSC00901.jpg

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

That's it for today my friends ;)

It looks fantastic. Well done!

Update!!!

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

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...6/DSC01218.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...6/DSC01219.jpg

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

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...6/DSC01207.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...6/DSC01222.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...6/DSC01233.jpg

Cut out the outline

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...6/DSC01235.jpg

And past 3m Carbon on the smaller plate

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...6/DSC01237.jpg

And put the both together

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...6/DSC01239.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...6/DSC01242.jpg

Cut also the outline from the smaller blue acryl

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...6/DSC01266.jpg

All together

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...6/DSC01269.jpg

The fans in the front

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...4/DSC00963.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...4/DSC00965.jpg

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

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...4/DSC00968.jpg

The 600T how it's gonna be

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...4/DSC00972.jpg

I've received my BP reservoir. Nice and small

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...5/DSC00974.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...5/DSC00976.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...5/DSC00977.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...5/DSC00978.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...5/DSC00979.jpg

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

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...5/DSC00980.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...oscommerce.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...er/logo_cm.jpg

Update!!!

Today is a great day. Received a really important piece of this build
The Mnpctech 600T clear acryl panel. I always love a window in the sidepanels
So this is the ultimate one :rock:

The package from Mnpctech

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...7/DSC01274.jpg

All covered with paper adhesive backing

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...7/DSC01275.jpg

12mm thick acrylic

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...7/DSC01287.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...7/DSC01286.jpg

To prepare the panel you have to use the original panel latches, but first removed one side
of the adhesive protection

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...7/DSC01290.jpg

So the original sidepanel/latch

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...7/DSC01279.jpg

There are 4 clips that you need to sqeeze

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...7/DSC01282.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...7/DSC01278.jpg

And there out

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...7/DSC01283.jpg

Now you take the acrylic sidepanel and put in the top of the latch first

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...7/DSC01299.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...7/DSC01301.jpg

Now push and sqeeze the clips in

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...7/DSC01293.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...7/DSC01297.jpg

Removed the protection from other side also and there you have it....... a great window for your Corsair Graphite 600T

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...7/DSC01306.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...7/DSC01307.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...7/DSC01345.jpg

The quality is really great and all edges are smooth and polished

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...7/DSC01309.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...7/DSC01347.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...7/DSC01349.jpg

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...7/DSC01350.jpg

So here some pictures from the sidepanel and the case

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...7/DSC01318.jpg

For the Corsair 600T I made a deal with a great sponsor ................... Bitspower
Thanks for the great products. This will become great with the matt black Bitspower products

Had to wait a long time for this package, unfortunately it was a long time at customs.
And had to pay a fine as well, but it's all worth it

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...8/DSC01808.jpg

Very sexy modkit for the D5/MCP655 pump

The D5/Mcp655 Modkit

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...8/DSC01830.jpg

And a new top for the D5, the D5 Mod top V2 extreme

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...8/DSC01881.jpg

I also have a nice collection of fittings etc. All Carbon black style

Carbon Black 1/2" fitting

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...8/DSC01883.jpg

And finally 2 x Five Rotary Snake-style dual adapter

http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...8/DSC01893.jpg

It took a long time but was really worth the wait.

Very nice updates. I really loved when I first saw you double layer acrylic effect and I think it looks outsanding in the tj11 but im not sure in this one. I really love the clear window ans all the bitapower goodies u r going to use...

the quality of the fan cutouts with the fretsaw rivals that of CNC machines!

and i sure would love to get my hands on some carbon black fittings, but i cant find anyone that sells them (preferably for the states)

Sorry you guys for the pics above but photobucket is doing strange things, while I have a pro account???

Update !!!

After all these beautiful products, it's time for modding;)
I used the original HDD bracket with the BP blocks. Going to mod the bracket, but for measuring it's ok for now :)

I have the top Bitspower modkit and top, therefore I've bought a Alphacool D5-VPP655 - Single Edition / No Top saves a lot of unnecessary plastic.

So the pump is almost finished now, only needs to sleeve the power cable

P0rn pump

The tubes will get another touch.......... sleeved tubes
I have also changed the midplate, past a layer of 3M Di-Noc CARBON FIBER FILM.Looks better with the sleeved tubes.

And another important change, the motherboard!
With the Asrock mobo is nothing wrong, but there was a pleasant surprise coming my way
namely ........................

This will fit perfectly in this build ............................ Thanks Niels ;)

After placing the MSI mobo and some Bitspower components it's time for the tubes.
All placed pretty nice with little curves

http://i39.tinypic.com/fk0dbq.jpg

http://i39.tinypic.com/iz9fa0.jpg

Just a little tut regarding the tube sleeving. Maybe useful for some of you ;)

Take a piece of precut tube

http://i42.tinypic.com/2mgp6q8.jpg

And some MDPC tube sleeve

http://i40.tinypic.com/2wgi15e.jpg

http://i42.tinypic.com/238b5x.jpg

Some wide heatshrink and tyraps

http://i44.tinypic.com/10zco78.jpg

The tools

http://i39.tinypic.com/351adfm.jpg

The heat shrink I marked 2cm long

http://i43.tinypic.com/bgpu1l.jpg

http://i42.tinypic.com/2077pqx.jpg

I kept the sleeve 5mm on both sides of the tubes 5mm shorter (for the tyrap)

http://i43.tinypic.com/k1asqr.jpg

Heated the 2cm long heatshrink carefully with heatgun. Sleeve doesn't like heat, so keep distence with the heatgun

http://i44.tinypic.com/2uoosaf.jpg

And shrinked

Update !!!

For this build I had the idea to put a big 3-slots Asus ENGTX580 in, but I've made a mistake. The regular waterblock doesn't fit on this one. I don't like the water-block for this card
The full cover block for the "normal" GTX580 from Bitspower is so much better, so i've sold the big one.
Then I received wonderful news from my friends at ZOTAC.
They were willing to sponsor this build with two beautiful Zotac GTX580 graphics cards.

For this I am very gratefull to ZOTAC, especially Chris, Craig and Carsten
