NZXT 810 Switch Mod (Blue-Skull)

JJ_Sky5000 · Mar 4, 2012

Well I was inspired by New platform that hit the market. Intel x79 chipset and LGA2011 CPU With its awesome Blue and Black Finish

The case theme is Blue, Black & White featuring The Intel Skull and a Large NZXT logo in Blue on the Back panel.

The Case that was perfect for the Build was the New NZXT Switch 810 just so many option to choose from its a perfect modder's case, ( My review is coming out tuesday) . Another set components that will fit perfectly into the theme, is The HyperX 120GB ssd from Kingston and Quad Channel Memory .

A big thank you to the Sponsors

let take a quick look at the NZXT Switch 810 Case

Such a clean looking case

You can tear down to the Bare Frame with ease.

One of the first things was to disassemble The front and top cover

No going back now !!!

Interesting to see this one I am currently working on a WC build in this case too.... Watching this one for sure!!!

JJ_Sky5000 · Mar 4, 2012

Maybe i should try to take the black marker off and just put it back together?

Anybody have any glue?

Its going to take forever to file this down?

Done!!!!

Looking forward to more mods. I like the design of this case a lot. May be the perfect case for water cooling without spending a fortune.

But, I don't like shiny plastic on cases. Looks cheap to me. So I'd have to resurface the whole thing.

Like how you've changed it so far. Thanks.

JJ_Sky5000 · May 3, 2012

Small Update more to come this week, order White acrylic and sleeving, still need more watercooling supplies and lighting.

2nd round of paint , smooth down with 400 grit !!!!

Almost forgot these lol ,
Sanded and primed

Ask my awesome wife if she could make me some letters about 5 " tall using the cricut

Not going to use the font but can use them to make a outline

Still trimming

I am testing my idea paint the back side of the N

JJ_Sky5000 · May 3, 2012
