![]() So to cover all consumer segments NZXT has several models in the Phantom line including the Phantom 630 Ultra Tower which they released as the next best thing for people who can't or don't want to spend way over USD200 for the top of the line Phantom 820 Ultra+ Tower. The only downside such dreadnaughts have is their hefty price tags making them extremely hard for the majority of people to own something which every manufacturer out there is well aware. Certainly that's a very good thing for consumers especially since never before have we seen the release of overwhelming towers like the massive Corsair Obsidian 0900D, the breathtaking Cooler Master Cosmos II, the elegant Lian Li PC-X2000FN and the modern NZXT Phantom 820 inside such a short period of time. But for now I do schoolwork.During the last two years PC Case manufacturers seem to have but a single goal in mind and that's to release towers of unprecedented quality, size and features aimed almost entirely towards hardcore gamers, enthusiasts and professionals. So to conclude this post I have these items on the way:Īnd I bought a bunch of stuff locally to build this thing up along with some other projects I am gonna work on. But it would be saved for shows or something if I wee to ever go to one. That way I can put 2 large fans on top with the NZXT cutout on the side. Then I can do the full model and maybe even a larger "show" version that WILL cover the entire PSU and the sides. So I have to wait until I save up a little cash for the Platinum XFX modular one I want. And I can't do the NZXT cutout either because it won't have room for the green LED fixtures I ordered. I can't put the 2 120mm fans on the top like I want to do because the cables on bottom will touch the fans. this is gonna be a simple version of my future model. So now that I know what I really need to do, later on some other time I will go back and clamp it down to cut an inch off the top section to make it just a bit smaller than the PSU so it won't bother my fans. I messed up my measurements and made it a little too big in the top section so now it will still cover up the area my fans need to go if I want to keep airflow (you have to admit it still looks pretty). After bending the sheet metal by using 2 clamps and 2 planks of wood to keep it still and even I put it in my case (after washing off all the metal dust with water and a magnet). I chose a piece of rusty sheet metal my dad had lying around before trying out my nice aluminum or steel I had for the actual final product.Īlright everything went well and my hands were numb because I was outside in the cold doing the cutting and I wasn't comfy. So after some practice with a dremel tool and that plastic stuff, I decided to tackle on actual metal. That way when I turn the lights on the letters will light up bright and green to match the case theme. The nice part about this prototype is that I learned how much space I had to put between the nuts and bolts in order to get the optimal light through the gap. It would be too large to allow my 2 side 120MM fans to fit right and keep airflow at all. However, if I put my side panel on it then it won't fit. Now the problem with this one is that it will cover the PSU perfectly. This is the early size test to see if it worked out. So here are some pics of my Prototype version: ![]() So when I get that I will have to make another with different Dimensions to fit that one proper.Īlright I wanted to make a PSU shroud that would be functional but if I wanted to show off I could take off my side panel and wow people with how awesome it looks. I am making 2 of them because I have plans on getting an XFX 1000W 80Plus Platinum PSU. It will go over the cables of a Corsair GS600 PSU. My first one is a 1st attempt at it to see if I can do it right. Now I am working on 2 different shrouds ATM. ![]() Out of all the PSU shrouds I've seen the ones I've least of are the ones with letters or logos cut out of them and having light shining through. I've seen a lot of different shrouds and designs so I wanted to make something a little more hard to come by. So I figured that I could do with a PSU shroud for my Adelaide. ![]()
