Time for some unboxing:

The Corsair Carbide 600C:










Great inverse ATX layout. Perfect for good airflow imho






Fit up to a 360mm radiator on bottom



And up to a 280mm radiator up in the front



PSU and drives behind a clean, refined PSU and 5.25" bay cover



With a nice seperate part and logo



More Corsair goodies later. Time for some modding:

First, I want to aligned the radiators



Marking first, then sawing and grinding



Recycled a plate whit fanholes from another case



Placed the 240 and 360 radiator for the looks



And also placed the Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming 7 to continue the brainstorming



More very soon!

For the next update I have cut, signed and sawn a large piece of white acrylic



After some sawing and filing... my side custom cover







And also a cover over the radiator (will add slots later)



And not to forget I will add a beautiful Corsair Vengeance LPX kit:

32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 2666MHz C16





And for flow and some coolness some great Corsair SP120 Quiet Edition fans







Now almost all hardware is present it is time to start thinking about the loop.

And again this will be done with nicely bended PETG, and after some puzzling it looks like this:











The reservoir I used is an old Bayres and tapped some holes for the fittings in the right place









Finally I made a drain port at the bottom of the case straight from the pump



And for a fillport slightly modified the front cover to reach the port of reservoir.







To be continued!

First of all, my apologize... forgot to post updates on this forum regarding the CORSAIR 600C MbK

Will never happen again

Before this update starts a small vid how the side cover was created:

Custom cover Corsair 600C

After finishing this cover, I used black matte vinyl and cut some edges to show the white lines from the acrylic.







As seen in the pictures above, I also have added two windows for a view on the reservoir and PSU: The Corsair RM1000i





This with the standard flat cables:



For better looks I have chosen a beautiful sleeve kit, the DC Cable Kit, Type 3 (Generation 2), BLACK.







More on this later!

Back to the cover and rad grill. I've cut away a big piece from the original plate with the size of a radgrill I had laying around. And now with a black MbK logo!







Time to fill....



Going to fill it with Mayhems pastel red

Off course I have a little movie regarding this:

Filling the Corsair 600C

which give some nice pictures afterwards. Here a preview picture... rest will follow
