Buildlog - Corsair Carbide 540 Air - The Box

Night time shot. This is how it normally lives next to my desk :)

Very nice build, simple and clean :)

I like how your LEDs just illuminates the interior of the case where you can clearly see all the hardware inside.
 
Is there any way you could affix the LED strips to the side panel, around the window? I love LED lighting but cannot stand to see the LEDs themselves :o

Nice build though :)
 
It's possible, but then you've got the power cable issue - and depending on the rear fan you use, you might struggle to squeeze them in between a 140mm rear fan and the panel. Would work with a 120mm as the rear fan though.
 
You can get a JST RCY male/female plug set for a few pence and splice it in line between the case and the side panel. Just me being picky though :cool:
 
I've gone for plug in and play, LED strips with sticky backing, and am even using stock fans.

If I was comfortable and confident splicing electrical cable, do you think I might have thought of that? :p
 
Yeah, been considering that... pricing it up just kinda makes me go :eek: though!

Being new to the watercooling circles though (looking in from the outside with a H100 :D) I have reservations about moving it after the watercooling loop is set up - how well do watercooled boxes deal with being chucked in a car and taken to work/lan parties and the like?
