NZXT 810 Switch Mod (Blue-Skull)

jjsky5000 · Mar 3, 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 !!!

jjsky5000 · Mar 3, 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!!!!

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

MrGuvernment · Mar 4, 2012

oh this looks like it will be good!

StatutoryApe · Mar 4, 2012

That's a lot of filing to get that piece of stretch steel down to that size. did you go from edges to center or did you do the smart thing and use a corner and just file off the rest? lol

This should be a good one.
