My Cheap homemade 600t Mod

[Joshua_Weiss]

Hey so now that I finally have something to show for my work I thought I would post it up here.

Ive always wanted a corsair 600t and eventually I got a little busted up one off carb for cheap.

Current Mods:
I added a white perspex psu cover
removed the 5.25 drives and mounted my h100 in the front in push/pull
cut a bigger sidepanel( still needs to be finished).

The total cost of this case with fans was just over R800 including all the perspex. considering its got 9 fans in it I think thats pretty good.

future plans:
watercooling! I have a wanted thread up!
add fans in the bottom psu cover.
put in white LED's
Put a dual bay res in the PSU cover.
Add a full acylic sidepanel

specs:
i5 4670k @4.5 ghz
galax 970 black edition
8 gigs 1600 ram
128 gig ssd
2 tb hdd.
h100i gtx

Well done! I like the perspex PSU cover, I need to make one for my 600T.

Nice. You can actually make the whole side panel out of perspex as well

I did something similar


Perspex side panel.

and when I put the H115i on the front.

I`d love to remove that crappy front 200mm fan that comes with the case but i suck at all this modding stuff haha. That fan moves almost no air even at full tilt

[MENTION=30691]Not_Jason[/MENTION] I tried to do a full perspex side panel but everyone quoted me over R1000 to cut it even though I gave them the designs. I was also told that buying 15mm perspex would also cost about as much. In the end I just cut my own side panel and bought thin perspex but I would still like a full acrylic one. Any tips?

I'd also hit the whole inside with a white spray paint to help the PSU shroud blend in and look even more OEM+

Looks good man, well done

Yo Joshua,

I ordered from a place called http://www.cut2size.co.za, a sheet of Clear perpsex 600mm x 500mm x 10mm was R535.00 ex vat.

I did the rest myself by following this guide.

It wasn't easy but it was worth it in the end.

Hey, thanks a lot man. Do you know if they could laser cut it as well? Since I have the 3d autocad design.

yeah they do seem to do custom stuff, not sure what it would cost tho.

they are in Germiston though and why do you need a 3D design?

Company you can look at for the perspex

Felcon
Perspexs
Maizeys
Sign allianance (pta) could help out most likely if you need me to ship it i can


15mm perspex is way to thick
Try for 3 - 5 mm its strong enough
