PSU Aesthetics Mod Help.

Hi,

 

I'm wondering how to make my Corsair RM 850 PSU look a little better.

Are there any PSU covers that either look nice, or light up? Or must they be handcrafted?

I'm interested in stickers aswell, I have an EVGA "enthusiast built" sticker that came with my GPU.

I'm interested in all mods, regardless of brand.

Is there ex. some PSU cover tha lights up, that is available to buy ready?

 

Thanks.

Just because it has an LED? And I thought of that but since it only has 80 plus, and has fan on the top, sucking in warm air from my GTX 780 Ti.

 

Thanks for reply though!

PSU covers have to be fabricated to fit your case specifically so there isn't really one you can just buy, if your interested get a sheet of 3mm plexi and a heat gun to bend the plexi, afterwards if you want to light it up either frost the plexi using spray frost or a frost plexi sheet.

 

Alternatively if you want you could carbon fiber or vinyl wrap the exterior to give it a cleaner look, just don't' cover any vent holes.

A Corsair 760T-windowed chassis: google it and you'll understand why I'd like to do this!

A black PSU, so it can hide in the case and never have to be looked at.

I don't think anyone makes retail PSU covers. you could try to paint it.

For my CX600M I just peeled the stickers off and cleaned the adhesive with rubbing alcohol.

looks a lot better in an all-black build without the green stickers

I decided to just leave my RM series PSU alone. I have a 760 too, and I figured just about anything I do to it will make it look odd. 

                                                                                                                                                      

CPU: Intel I7-4790k | MOBO: Asus Sabertooth Z97 Mark 1 | Ram: Corsair Vengance 32GB 1600hz | GPU: EVGA GTX980 Reference

PSU: Corsair EVGA G2 850W  | SSD: Intel 730 Series 480GB, Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB | HDD: WD Black 1TB

 CPU Cooler: Corsair H105 | Case: Corsair 760T (White) | Peripherals: (2)Asus VS247H-P, Corsair M65, Corsair K70 RGB w/ Brown Switches

You could try cutting some colored plexi glass with certein paterns to make it look nice. Vinyls would probably work too but they have to be heat resistant or they will peel off again.

 

Peeling off the sticker won't void you warranty imo. The one that they care about is the little one that sits over one of the screws that hold the unit together, so you can't get inside. ;)

who cares...
