MODTHEBOX would like to thank Chris from The Cutting Edge for sending the Light Blue Power Supply Mod Kit for review.

The Cutting Edge

Introduction:

Case modding projects can take months to plan and a general rule of thumb is that takes several key elements to produce an effective modification. In the past at MTB, we have stressed how important it is to incorperate aesthetics into any project. Your case modification project should not only perform good but look aesthetically pleasing as well. PSU modifications are very uncommon, and have been restricted to store bought anodized colour housings or intrepid modders using traditional automotive paints. The Cutting Edge based out San Diego, California has developed a brand new product for case modders who want to add additional appeal to their cases. Today in the MTB Labs, we will be looking at the Light Blue Power Supply Mod Kit, a product which allows you to add a transparent custom housing to your power supply.

Specifications:

The Cutting Edge Power Supply Mod Kit is currenly available in ten different colour options; ranging from purple, orange, light blue, dark blue, neon pink, neon green, red, green, smoke and clear. Included with the kit is all the hardware required to mount and assemble the product. Here are some specifications taken directly from the Cutting Edge website:

The light blue PSU enclosure measures approximately 2 15/16" tall x 5 13/16" wide x 5 9/16 deep and has been designed to fit all standard ISO certified PSU's on the market. The enclosure is made of 1/8" thick cast acrylic, which has been shaped to form the base of a replacement top panel on a PSU mount. The Cutting Edge website warns that installing this kit will void your warranty and adds an additional outer dimension to your PSU measuring 1/8" in height and 1/4" in width. Consumers should make sure that they have enough room inside their case to accomodate the extra dimensions this kit will add once installed.
