Project Quadfather

MRCL · 06-07-2009, 06:57 AM

Hey all

With petes quad FX system heading my way, I wanna do something special.
So I was pondering for quite a while... "I know what I want to do, but in what case damnit".
Aplus Black Pearl, V2110B or TJ07 were my ideas, but too expensive. This time I want to mod, to create, not just plant hardware in. So.... I gots this

And bought a Dremel also. Now, I won't tell you too much, but theres gonna be water involved and the case gets a theme that I think will do petes system justice.

Pics and worklog will follow when all the stuff starts arriving.

I have enough of blue, so its going to be in red and black, as for the pattern I'm unsure but I have an idea. As I said, it will be themed, so not just some red here and black there.

ShadowFold · 06-07-2009, 07:16 AM

I wanna see this

Assassin48 · 06-07-2009, 07:17 AM

Just take your time and dont rush it.

MRCL · 06-07-2009, 07:18 AM

No I will take my time. And I need to sell a rig first to raise some funds lol.

Chicken Patty · 06-07-2009, 07:39 AM

good luck MRCL, subscribed

MRCL · 06-07-2009, 07:40 AM

I can pick up the case tomorrow, the Dremel approximately arrives on tuesday (stupid, I have to order it, no hardware store here has it). So I might cut and grind a bit on tuesday.
Dunno when the mobo and CPUs arrive, and I still need to get some additional water gear.
And spray cans, of course. Oh God, so much to do

daragez · 06-07-2009, 07:43 AM

PS: I write all my notes in Enlish despite my native language being (swiss)german. A habit I picked up while learning English years ago.

Yay, first obstacle. The shop I ordered the Dremel from wanted from me that I tell them my credit card infos via email, or if I choose not to, they charge me 20 bucks. WTF? So I canceled the order and now I gotta see where to get that Dremel. Great.
