Project Mirage
This is "Project Mirage"
This build started with an idea that cooling performance and acoustics should not be sacrificed for aesthetics. With a new custom top plate with flush mounted screws, a new plasma cut steel radiator mounting bracket for the top, and a new front fan filter assembly for the front glass, these mods help to preserve the open clear design language of the original corsair 570x without sacrificing cooling performance or acoustics.

I am very happy with how this project turned out. I designed this look with the idea of personalization in mind, and for hardware to blend together to create the illusion of more open space (Hence the name). Both the CPU block and the Reservoir were tinted black to add to the aesthetic. Also all colored lighting is RGB, but there is very subtle white lighting to help accentuate the blacks and greys without taking away from the colors.
