Batman : Arkham City Finished Pictures 01/06/2012

Happy Holidays,

My oringinal Idea for the case mod, was to re mod this NZXT Vulcan micro-atz case all i was going to do was Batman etching on the window for my 7 year old son, Just a little weekend project, the ultimate goal was to make a nice little Lan case ,but when i started getting a few more ideas came to mind .

I very thankful for Biostar, Intel and NZXT . With out there support these are just visions on paper. I showed my friend at Boistar the progress of teh case and he ask to showcase it in Vegas for CES.

I started working on the side panel first to replace it with plexi.

making the window opening bigger with a dremal tool

all is left is to is a few places to File.

Next up to see how it look on the case

removing the rivots and the disassemblyhas begun

6 differnt grades of sand paper for the finish

JJ_Sky5000 · Dec 16, 2011

Ok brought out the heavy duty paint stripper!!!! Yea thats a airplane on the can, alwasy use proper Ventilation and a mask or you will feel like your flying !!!

You know its done its job when it starts to peal off

60 Grit !!!

And when the sanding is done

repainted the top fan cover to a metallic silver

JJ_Sky5000 · Dec 16, 2011

Decided to change the front panel a bit and add a little Batman touch to it.

Fan Cut out

I will be re-using the orginal mesh from the side panel for the front

I had some left over anodized aluminium from my other super secret project

With a scroll Saw and a file you can do amaizing things

all thats is left is have the Rez cut out and add power button and a little polishing

Alot more too do

Thank you again for checking the project out.

JJ you have a PM.

For the rest of you, I cleaned the thread! Constructive criticism is welcomed, but the disrespect to new members for whatever they bring to TPU will not be tolerated.

JJ_Sky5000 · Dec 30, 2011

Its all starting to come together down the Final stretch before CES. Primer and paint

More Primer

Decided to cut the top out for a place to fill the watercooling

More Sanding to get the annodized marks removed

Side panel was next , 50 grit,100, 150, 400, 1000, 1500 and 2000 for a finish

Interior of teh Side Panal Black with metal flakes

Small teaser

Thanks for looking

JJ_Sky5000 · Jan 3, 2012

Happy New year !!!! Back to Modding

Finishing painting the frame

Started assembly Case feet on first

Adding the rad

Thanks Db for the idea of adding some lights behind the bat should also cast a shadow

My intial thought was glue or double sided tape to attched to teh front panel. but it for my son, I better screw it in.

another teaser

Thanks for looking

Excellent build :toast:

Attention to detail is great. Have fun at CES!!!

Isn't that rad a bit insufficient for both CPU and GPU?

That depends if you're doing extreme OC'ing or not. A 120 rad can cool a CPU+GPU, but it isn't going to do 5GHz and gpu overclocking with great temps lol. However, with a light OC on the CPU it should work fine for both. They make a gtx 580 with a built in 120 rad that cools the CPU too, and those use weak little pumps and barely any liquid.

JJ_Sky5000 · Jan 9, 2012

It a pretty Light load, and the new processors are so much cooler that teh 3.4 p4 (lol)

JJ_Sky5000 · Jan 12, 2012
