hi everyone :)

 

this is my build log of my Corsair 500R build

 

i chose 500R as my canvas because this case has lots of potential 

and as i have surfed the internet only a few (or i think no one) has

fully moded 500R before, so here i am fulfilling my second mod

(the first one was a fail, it was 300R ^_^ )

 

so this is my case i am converting this normal layout to 90 degrees layout

 

SPECS: 

 

PROC: Intel i5 4670k

MOBO: ASUS Z97 Sabertooth MARK 1

RAMS: Crucial Ballistix Elite 1866Mhz

PSU: Corsair VS650 80+ Bronze (650watts)

STORAGE: Corsair FORCE LS 120GB SSD

                   Western Digital RED 1TERA (NAS)

                   Western Digital BLUE 500GB

CASE: Corsair Carbide 500R
