Corsair C-70 Military Green

[harmontt]

My rig is settled in a Corsair C-70 Military Green. It looks like an awesome case to mod, but I'm not sure what I should do with it yet. Any Ideas or has anybody else modded their C-70?

If your planning on going water cooling, the C70 can mount a 360MM Rad in the top by removing a crossbar held by two rivets, takes all of five seconds, and can be held in place by the two fans facing towards the rear, the only downside to this is the third fan has partially blocked intake, and will completely block the top optical bay.

Picture of the rad installed in the top one that I had owned previously.

Currently, I'm not planning on a custom liquid loop. I was looking for more aesthetic reasons.

well the C70 has fan mounts on the side window, if you do like the that sort of aesthetics, then you can remove the side panel window and buy a solid one from your local hardware store. it should look much better if you dont need those mounts :)

If i had one i'd like to try a camouflage painting job

[harmontt]

Instead of buying new acrylic, I took the window off and rotated it 180 degrees so that the fan mounts were only covering cable routing and the back of the dvd drive.

I second that motion.

Replace the window with mesh? Stencil the typical ammo crate markings on the side?

[Parus major]

What about getting some Army decals or stencils? A bit white star in a broken ring would kick it off nicely.

[GrandmasBoy]

I agree with army stencil lettering. I seen a C-70 turned into an ammo can look once. It looked great! Search around the webs for inspiration. The best mods are the most original ones. :)

It sounds like spamming I know but if you're in the UK I know a guy - http://www.axholmesigns.co.uk/

I would get some green cold cathodes! Maybe take out the drive bays you aren't using also. This isn't really modding, but sleeve the cables? OH, make a side window panel if it doesn't have one (I forget atm if the c70 has a window).

[Parus major]

Not a fan of cold cathodes, not when you can buy a 5m roll of double density LED tape for £10 and solder a molex on one end.

I'm using white Bitfenix Alchemy LEDs right now. I also have considered doing the star in a broken circle idea. I might try to do a USS Corsair theme. I thought that would be cool because the case is made by corsair.

[Parus major]

've fancied doing a US Army thing with my case since I've got a HAF 922 and the inside isn't painted. If I'm painting it OD would be awesome. A Sabretooth motherboard would just set it off.

Throw some Noctua's in there. The colour scheme should flow beautifully with the military green.

It would be the only thing that would fit the noctua's scheme!

Brrr!

Couldn't stand that side window. I dont know why corsair thought that was a good idea, I hated it

[MarineTuck]

Or Marine corps theme... sense we are better than the army...

[MarineTuck]

I have a 20MM ammo can case mod going on right now and stencil thing is really cool looking if done right

[harmontt]

I kinda want to do a whole green theme with green lighting and also with a chevron yellow and black to match the reset button on the case.

I used some spare LED's that my dad had lying around.
