ROG Maister

L4mka · Mar 9, 2014

Hi, I'm here with my next project.

After finish CM SupreDesk (www.cmdesk.eu) I decided to make my own case from the scratch.
I took a lot of inspiration around case modding forums and make drawings and plans for my case.
Case will be mainly from steel and few parts of plexi.
Everything I drew in SketchUp and render

UPDATE 1

So at the start of project I bought steel profiles and welded them to the main frame.

After that I drew first parts and laser-cutted them

And welded them into main frame

Then I cutted other profiles and placed them into. These profiles will be beams for the next sheet steel.

After all welding I sanded welds with a grinder.

Vario · Mar 14, 2014

Nice fabrication!

L4mka · Mar 17, 2014

I would like to thanks Bitspower for sponsoring this project!

They will support me with silver shiny fittings and reservior D5 mod top kit combo.

L4mka · Mar 20, 2014

UPDATE 2

Continuing with assembling steel sheets in to the main frame

M4 screw ain thread

Installed the front plate which will hold 2 fans with Alphacool radiator.

Sasqui · Mar 20, 2014

Nice work, that's one sturdy box. Interested to see how it turns out.

What software did you use for rendering?

Dicfylac · Mar 20, 2014

It's getting good, it´s a good tecnique the plate welded to the structure in order to prevent thermal deformation.
Keep on the good work.

L4mka · Mar 25, 2014

So for the next I did some work on mid-plate which will hold mainboard and other things like reservior combo and SSD

The I/O bracket from old Cooler Master case.

Testing the fit with old MB.

Drew and printed the mainboard holes layout for 100% precision.

Drilled holes

And make threads for the spacers.

MB fits very good

And the mid plate in the main frame

Back side

UPDATE 4

So I drew and lasercutted last parts for case.

The side panel. Will be with the plexi.

I asked my good friend who has access to CNC if he could mill special plexi for me - no problem

Milling the edges.

Detailed view on the edge of plexi.

I also lasercutted and bend the front panel with ROG logo - because of ROG Maister name of this project and because I very like this logo. :thumb:

Bought some plexi to do special effect with ROG logo. Some led strips and plexi will do awesome effect.

Effect of "hearbeating/breathing" you can see in this video

holy mother of god! More updates!

adulaamin · Apr 13, 2014

Looking really really good... :slap:

Devon68 · Apr 13, 2014

I really like the way this is turning out. Cant wait to see the final product. Just one question: in order to remove the side panel will you have to unscrew all those screws or how will it open?

L4mka · Apr 13, 2014

Thank you guys!

Next update will come on thursday maybe

Yes, unscrew all screws (10 in total), I dont want to open the case often, so sometimes it will not be problem

L4mka · Apr 22, 2014

UPDATE 6

Last week I varnished the whole case with my friend.
And also received very nice package from Bitspower!

Now I have to start playing with the fittings and brainstorm about the watercooling loop - but more in the next update

stay tuned!

HammerON · May 7, 2014

Thanks for the update/pics :toast:

L4mka · May 23, 2014

UPDATE

So I started with completing water loop on the "mainboard part".

ICEMODZ 24 pin cable connected in Formula VI.

Some fun with fittings and brainstorming about loop.

First GTX770

Second GTX770 but without EKWB block yet.

Another view.

Installed EKWB block on GPU and some Bitspower fittings.

In mainboard

Bitspower, ASUS and EKWB = super combo!

Fitted in case!

ADATA RAM with ekwb modules for watercooling.

Almost finished loop

Next update will be in few days! Stay tuned!

Devon68 · May 23, 2014

Once you try the fans can you post back. I wanted to buy some but seen many people say that they are too loud even with the 1200 rpm adapter.

L4mka · May 27, 2014

I would like to thanks ADATA for sponsoring this project!

They will support me with two 128GB SSD - more about SSD's soon!

L4mka · May 30, 2014

ADATA

Today I received sponsored products from ADATA. From Taipei to Czech Republic took delivery only about +- 45 hours. Almost faster then sending packages only through our country

From ADATA I received two 128GB SSD. Exactly ADATA SX900 XPG 128GB

I take some photos of disk and I would like to say big thanks to ADATA for their help!

Can't wait to connect them in PC. Maybe I will connect them in RAID (0 and 1) and do some benchmarks.
