Hi my fellow casemodders...it's Kier again
It's time for a new build with the beautiful Corsair Carbide Air 540.
Saw this case for the first time at some pictures from Computex 2013. And think it has a lot of potential
A good looking case with numerous possibilities for air cooling and watercooling ofcourse.
Time to think of some nice ideas and cut it in pieces.
