Corsair Carbide Air 540 Builds

OK so kind of an update with my 540...ie added 4 Enermax Cluster 120mm Fans...three in the front running via molex as is the one at the back



Sorry for the pics not being of a better quality
 
Thems nice fans, what are they like for noise. It may be a way for me to get a little light into my case. Any pics with the front on too :)
 
i'll do a couple of front pics later...as goes noise from the fans they are not too bad...in fact less noise with the grill off , no doubt due to the air being pulled through the grill ...they have 14db max according to Enermax....but they are via molex so i assume they are running at full speed and bright...but as i dont own a fan controller at this point my fan headers on the mobo are being used for the two top Enermax 140mm....they are pretty quiet on silent via BIOS

Sorry for the delay in answering ...I was trying to learn how the fly a heli in BF3 lol

Or if your ambitios wilkos do a small £3.49 tin of spray plastikraft copper enamel paint

That would be excellent matey, if it's easier for you I'd collect, you're only down the road but if you'd prefer to post that would be good!

I'll measure the case and let you know :)
 
Ok so things really aren't going my way! had no broadband for weeks so I couldn't order a new PSU and when I did it got misdirected! but heres an update anyway.

The first power up and installing everything:


Tried it out and the power supply couldn't handle it. Waiting on a new one but very happy with it! Still not 100% yet but can't wait until I can finally peel off that side panel window sticker.

Setup atm ( sorry for bad quality pics )






I'm still looking to do a lot more upgrades down the line, any suggestions are appreciated

Cheers!
 
Bit of an odd question but I'll ask anyway, I recently bought an Ikea Malm desk, its quite solid but probably made of cardboard inside, will a 540 build sit quite happily on top of the desk with out damaging it?

Are the feet plastic or rubber and can anyone confirm that its the width that's 332mm?

Thanks
 
Here is my 540,

Thanks for the kind words. The lights are nzxt led's with 3 brightness settings they attach to the backplate in a spare slot but with this case I have them coming from the psu side of the case to keep it neat, they then are attached to small clips that are right up to the edge of the case along the top going across then down the front. http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/101-sleeved-led-kit-case-accessory

The pictures are showing them on the brightest setting. I have some in raven rv02 doing the same thing they are very good and easy to manipulate.
 
This is how they are laid out inside the case.
