NZXT 810 Switch Mod (Blue-Skull)

[jj_Sky5000]

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 !!!

[jj_Sky5000]

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!!!!


I eyeballed that one about right!!!




And the front

Oh what did you do this weekend? Ehh Cut a Intel Skull out of Liqiud Resin.






Dont mind the Buck teeth, I had to go look to see how many teh intel skull had 8

I already love this case and from what I can see in this thread so far the finished thing is going to look awesome! Nice work.

[AMD4Sho]

Wow a build thread that actually will probably get finished?! Woa that's a big step up for this section!

Not to threadjack or anything, but what the hell ever happened to that guy that was building Ultimate Desk? Not l3p d3sk, but the other guy who made his out of wood?

Your rig looks very cool btw, I have always been a fan of the white/blue combo.

[jj_Sky5000]

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 !!!!

Great Job Mate! I have been watching your build for a while and i am sure you have seen my NZXT Switch 810 work log also around.I believe we belong to a couple of the same Clubs/Forums.

So far it's coming out great.

FYI: I don't know what CPU you're using, but I have the same mobo as you and you may need to update the BIOS on it.
