Danger Den Tower 16 - Renewal Mod
« 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...

(My wife's black and pink Tower 16 is next to it.)

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.
Eventually something cool will go in here. It's a matter of time.
