Nice work log.

Since you are pretty handy with tools I suggest you buy yourself a 1-1/2 HP router and some bits and start making templates. You can save yourself hours and hours of hand cutting with a jigsaw and even more time on the filing and sanding. Use the jigsaw to remove most of the waste and use the router to produce exact duplicate holes or profiles or parts. Since you are repeating a lot of operations (fan holes etc) the time taken to make one perfect template is well spent.

I buy stuff from Delvies all the time. John is a great guy. Bill is a legend, as is Eddy (EK). You've got some high powered sponsors...nice.

Supplies, Rivets and Sleeving

Sorry I haven't updated in a few weeks. Its not that I have been busy its just I haven't done much work. I am still waiting on the rest of the plexi to arrive. Been 2 weeks and I'm still waiting. Anyways... here is what I have done.

I got my Orange tubing in.


I also ordered a Rivet Nut Setter. Basically its a bigger pop rivet gun.


So with that I got the threaded rivets and drilled my old holes.


Used the tool, which I actually had to read the directions for, and voila! A steel threaded hole. These will hold up much better than the aluminum.


2 more 2TB Green HDDs


A 120mm fan for the mobo side of the case.



Sleeving... I ordered the FlexO from FrozenCPU because it was "cheaper". The quality wasn't great but I could afford it. I decided to do a sleeving comparison for my fellow modders and when I ordered the other brands I got my hands on some MDPC-X sleeving. No wonder everyone uses it. The color is amazing and its only $0.22 PER FOOT!! That's 1/3 the price of the FlexO. The only problem is that it takes 2 weeks to get :( Germany to USA. USA to me. I wish Nils would ship to APO/DPO but he doesn't so I have to deal with that.

Here is a comparison between the FlexO and MDPC-X


You can see on the HDD I bought some Orange vinyl film. Its pretty transparent so I have to put 2 layers down to get the color I want.


Since I had some of the MDPC-X I started sleeving the ATX power. I might add a few more black wires to the mix.






And that's it. I just put in an order to get the rest of the sleeving that I need form MDPC-X and I'll use up what I have left here.

Cheers till next time.

Not a real update

Still waiting on my plexi :( If it doesn't arrive Friday then I'm going to call.

Random shots of my sleeving.


I'm not 100% happy with the connector so I might redo it.


I decided to buy some Primo Chill Ice UV Orange coolant and see how it looked.









Its actually not very UV reactive but it looks great without it. I ran it for 2 days like this and it was fine. I let it sit for a day and there was the problem. My res had an orange residue on it. So I deff won't be using this. Hopefully a certain someone will finish making their orange coolant for me :D

Random cool looking pics I thought.






Its was a holiday weekend in Germany so my MDPC-X sleeving didn't leave Germany until today so I should have it in about 2 weeks. Hopefully I can get this done by November but starting Tuesday for 2 weeks there will be no modding :( My wife and daughter come back and my sister is visiting for 2 weeks so I have to spend time with her.

Cheers till next time!

I saw one guy who built a jig to make sure that all of the heatshrink tubing he cut was exactly the same length every single time. I think that mad a huge difference in how smooth it looked when it was put all together.

That sounds like the owner of West Coast Mods - Larry AKA LazyMan. He has a tutorial on his youtube that shows you exactly how to make it. I might do that.

Bitspower Goodies



After months of talking with Bitspower, a box randomly showed up at my house :D So thanks Bitspower for sponsoring my build with lots of fittings (40+), a GTX 460 WB and 2 HDD WB.



Thanks guys!

Its been awhile

So its been awhile since my last update. Work has been getting done just not enough at one time to make a post about it. I was super busy with life. My sister came to visit for about 2 weeks and I got a new boss so that is where most of my time has been spent. Also my wife and daughter are back so I spend a lot of my time with them. Here is what I have done over the past month up to this morning. (Not in any particular order)

I finally received the replacement back panel so I drew everything out.

Due to time constraints I forgot to take a picture of it all cut out.

Since I got that done I could finally install the 2nd rad.


I put the waterblock I got from Bitspower on the EVGA GTX 460.









Here I was messing with a single white LED under this plexi to see how well it glowed... It didn't workout as well as I hoped so I need to work on it more.


I needed to drill holes in the center divider for the Bitspower pass through fittings.


Starting to install them.


All done.


Here I was trying to figure out where to put the pumps.






This was my next solution.




And my final solution.


I also started working on my water tubing routing.



Its still a work in progress.

I built a cover to hide the PSU cables.






And then I glued it all together.



And finally I covered it with Carbon Fiber because it looked like crap. Once I get some good acrylic glue I will remake it properly but this will have to do for now.

I decided to cut down the Media Card Reader enclosure to make it smaller. There is no need to keep it full size.






Here I measured the half I cut to the other half.


Marked and ready to cut.

More pictures of the final product in my next update.

Here is one of the sides of the HDD racks I made from scratch.

They came out rather nice.




Now I'm working on a mounting system so I can take the HDD cages in and out with ease to add more HDDs.

And finally today I started working on the HDD side window.


Drilled and ready to cut.


I have more on the side panel coming in the next update since it took all day to upload these pictures.

Hope your happy to see more work!

Cheers till next time!

HDD Side Panel

I got more work done on the side panel last night.




What I did was clamp the orange pieces to the main panel and lined them up as best I could. Then I filed down all the edges so that they were perfect. Then I sanded each edge with 200 grit to get most of the big scratches from the files out. I still have to sand a bit more but its pretty much done.







Once I finish the edges I will glue them to the main piece and then glue on the clear piece. I don't think I will get the lighting done before the 20th for the competition but I can try. More work to come very soon.

Cheers till then.

Feet and Lighting

I made some feet for the HDD cages. I glued them on. I hope they hold if not I will have to use a different acrylic glue.


Now lighting.... Firstly, here is what it looks like.

I wrapped the Orange SMD LED strip around the orange piece of plexi.


And here is the effect




You can see how the pieces that stick out don't have any light going through them... How can I fix this? Also the inner side of both windows have no light. I might have to shave off enough of each window piece that I can wedge the LED strips between them so I can get the lighting. But I still have the same problem, no light on the 3 pieces that jut out.

Thoughts??

I was thinking of led strips set towards the extended sections, but then you have wires on the acrylic which may not look good.

Or perhaps a EL light strip would work better?

I finally got the LEDs worked out. Next update tomorrow morning.

Thanks man. Wait till you see it after the 20+ hours of sanding I put into it.

Sanding and more

Here are the pictures of the PSU shroud I promised.





I got a 200mm fan to exhaust the HDD side of the case.


Hole drawn for cutting


Cut and sanded


Add a Modders Mesh fan grill


And the fan



Here are a few more pics of the lighting.








I've been sanding for probably 20 hours to get everything nice and smooth.









Now to get light to pass through the hexagons that are extended I had to cut a strip in the back so I could put the LEDs in there.


I took the LED strip and a piece of scrap plexi.


Wedged them in to the slot I cut


And voila! Works perfectly.


I'm working on the mobo side panel now


Here is the orange layer for the main mobo side window


And finally I'm starting to attach things to the back plate.


I'm trying really really hard to finish before tonight.

Cheers till next time.
