Custom Case critique

TheIcedCanadian

Hi,

I am probably going to build a custom PC case and I was wondering what you guys though of my concept I just designed. All comments are welcome.

Yep, basically an Air 540, and it's probably cheaper in the long term to get an air 540. Cause if you build it you need materials, and drill bits and screws and all that crap. Just get the Air 540.

Main PC: Core i5 4670 | MSI Mpower Max z87 | G.Skill Ripjaws 2x4gb | Stock intel cooler | PNY GTX 770 2gb (hoping to upgrade) | Seagate 1tb 7200rpm | Corsair RM850 | Corsair Carbide Air 540 | PCCG custom sleeved black/yellow extensions | Corsair K70 Cherry MX Blue | Corsair M45 |

It does look like an air540, but this case is tiny - haven;t decided whether it should be a mini ITX or MATX

OK - how would I go about getting rid of that fan grill at the front and putting in a red strip?

 

I like the custom case as it gives me lots of leverage of where I can put my components - also my model has a TON of cable management space - even the PSU will be hidden back there.

just get the air 240 and mod it unless you want to build it yourself.
