I originally had the Fractal Define R4 I got it because of @Logan review was awesome and I loved the simplicity of it I like the stealth look It is like a sleeper modded race car that is meant to look stock. Long story short I'm getting the Corsair Vengeance C70 in black, and it has a window which I'm not used to and that's the first thing I am replacing, I'm getting a solid clear one instead of the stock one with all the holes for fans its ugly. I am also not a huge fan of led's but I hate led fans. But with the new case and window I wouldn't mind being a little flashy.
I would like to mount some white led's under the motherboard for a nice glow if some one could recommend some I would also like a led controller so I will have the ability to shut them off when I watch a movie at night or situations like that.
I am pretty creative but I would also like to get as many Ideas and suggestions as possible any Ideas at all on mod Ideas please let me know.
You can also just list your favorite case mods here just so I can get Ideas.
Not my computer Just a picture of the case for Ideas and refrence
I've got a c70 that is collecting dust waiting to be cut up. my short list for the case is change that fugly stock window, add new power and reset switches because the stock ones are junk and do some sort of cover to hide the wires from the psu. There are a lot of modded c70s with documented build logs to glean inspiration from.
I know I browsed the shit out of google images I just like the Tek Syndicate forums a lot. mnpctech makes multiple windows clear and colored to replace it perfectly for $25 that is the very first thing I'm doing. I'm sad to hear the stock switches are junk because I really like the way they look. I know I am definitely adding toggle switches probably the fighter jet ones just because I like the way they look don't know what I am going to hook them up to yet. Then I'm going to add 2 handles to the front of the case on both sides saw a picture of this on Google and it looked cool. When I spoke to Corsair Tech support on the phone the guy told me I could fit 140mm fans in the front if I drill new mounting holes which I'm going to do not a fan of 120mm. Finally to set up a push pull configuration with my 240mm Kraken radiator on the to of the case I am going to have to mount 2 of the 140mm fans on the outside of the case which is fugly but in another forum some one recommended this which I love I just need to pick fan grills to go on the top.
and here is the link to buy the fan cover. They do have different sizes, also I did some searching and it seems they are the only company that makes a fan cover like that. http://koolance.com/2-x-140mm-fan-radiator-shroud-black And here is a video of it in action which I think it will actually look cool on the C70
The switches look fine but the feel of them betrays those looks and for a case that is going for $120 still it makes me glad I got mine second hand for cheap
LOL. I was seeing if I could find one on Ebay for cheaper and people are trying to charge between $170 and $260 when you can get it for $119 on amazon new.
I could definitely replace the grill upfront I do like the honeycomb pattern underneath you can see it when you look at it head on I will wait for my case to arrive in the mail before I make that decision.
