Upgrades/mods?

[verydogesuchwow]

Don't get me wrong, I love my build at the moment. But something isn't right about my case.. I want to make it my own (Casey Neistat warning).

 

Any ideas for mods to do, ways to make this the best it can be from an aesthetic stand point?

specs in signature

You could paint some parts of the graphics card white or maybe  you could get a logo of your choice air brushed on the side panel.

 

Thanks,

Reese

If you really want to do something Casey-like, spray paint your name across it in a bright pink or green.

 

In all seriousness, why not get some custom-sleeved cables with a few different colors? Or you can get some vinyl paper or something and cover up the SSD and that box thingy. Or you could spraypaint/plasti-dip a component (ex: heatsinks).

Good idea, however I kinda want to keep the white theme, but I will.

I ordered some white carbon fiber vinyl to wrap some stuff in a couple days ago

and the RAM is black spray paint lol

How about a custom GPU backplate it would stand out very nicely, another is a shroud that covers the silver IO blocks, other than that some cable combs can clean up the wiring.

Where can I get a blackplate and shroud that fits? I like the idea!

The pic is old and the wires are straight now lol

In most cases it will need to be custom made unless you modify a watercooling backplate. Some places that do custom ones are Cold Zero:

Is there an American version?

I believe MNPC Tech may be able to do something like that, I don't know if there is a specific company that specializes in that other than Cold Zero. If you don't mind measuring and getting someone to cut it for you that is another option.

When would you like the custom backplate?? as we will be making them from next month 

We are UK based but ship worldwide with most of our customers from the USA.

Just note that since your using the aircooler you may need to source some slightly longer screws to go through the backplate, the ones they come with are design for their waterblocks so they may not be the same as the original aircooler.

Wait, you're talking about putting the backplate on the side that faces up towards the top of the case right? Like where the solder is?

Yes on the GPU where you see the solder on the bare PCB. The backplate usually bolt through to the waterblock or heatsink in this case.

Ohhhh ok, didn't know that, thanks!

I have lots of spare screws in a workshop area so I think I'm fine
