Title: Danger Den Tower 16 - Renewal Mod
Post by: Hateplow on March 19, 2013, 08:28:56 PM
I have been waiting for inspiration to finish this rig for about a year now.  All it took was spring break and a few cold beers to make it happen!  This isn't anything crazy, just a sleeved psu and some watercooling, but I think it turned out pretty sweet looking and wanted to share!

I apologize in advance for the picture quality, my point and shoot doesnt do too well in my apartment...

Before...

So a little "Renewal" process...

I always hear how painful paracord is to work with.  After this build, I will never use anything else!  It really wasn't bad at all to sleeve with, and it really looks amazing compared with the plastic PET sleeving I have been using.  Not to mention cheap!

That is a Corsair TX850 psu.  I took out the black fan, and put in a white LED NZXT 140 in to replace it.  I also had to de-badge it because the yellow and black stickers really stuck out.

And in goes the tubing.  That res actually pressure fits into the top of the case.  I have secured it in with some mounting zip ties, but there was really no need...

And there she is all lit up!

I cut out new sides out of smoked acrylic, but instead of 1/4 inch smoked, I am going to tint the back of a piece of clear.  It looks so mean with smoked, but I feel like this is a little too dark...

There are a few minor things I plan to do with this rig, like an orange filter for the honeycomb 5.25 blank out, and I am going to cut out some dark acrylic to cover the LEDs and wires on either side of the rad.  Other than that, I am pretty much finished!

Bro, do you even LAN?

Nice rig. Very nice indeed. The cabling job is really slick.
