my old build

[longjohn]

well i have been putting off modding my case for along time now, but as i have had to rma my motherboard and have no computer (well a decent one) atm and im abit bored, so as a newbie modder i thought i would have ago.

so my current system i bought back in oct 12,

corsair 600t

Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard

Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 670 Windforce 3X 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

corsair h100

Corsair Dominator PLATINUM 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz

Samsung 256GB SSD 840 PRO SATA 6Gb/s (awaiting delivery)

Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB

Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache (WD20EARX) HDD

corsair ax580

BitFenix Spectre PRO 200mm Blue LED - Black

BitFenix Spectre PRO 120mm Fan Blue LED - Black x2 OR

CF-V12HP Cougar Fan with Hydro-Dynamic Bearing,MTBF300,000hrs and Auto Sensor Control x3

NZXT CB-LED10-BU 12x Blue LED Sleeve - 1m


so i started by stripping down the case and cut the mesh out for my 2x 120mm and my 200mm fans and i wanted to fit my leds on the top so i made a cutout for the pcie card. then i cut out the cross members of my top and front grills they look a lot better.

sorry about quality of pictures was using my iphone

just fitted my 200mm fan

now im suffering form modders block and not sure how to make this look good, i was thinking about getting either gap filling cement or decorators caulk to fill in the gaps and then spray it

then i thought i would do some of the cable tidying but there was only much i could do till i get my motherboard back.

psu back in now to help with cable tidying

hope your enjoying my boring build but theres more to come

i have made an error in cutting out the hole for my pci card for my lighting. would would you use to fill in the gaps on the plastic surround ?

thanks

depends how big the holes are? can you post a picture of it?

 

[longjohn]

its only 1mm around the edges

perhaps some coloured glue very carefully applied if not dismantle the plastic surround from the grpahics card and apply some sort or plastic secured from inside so not to be visibile from outside.
