The rest of my kitchen, I have no wife to complain

God I love techpowerup!!!

Only here do I see my place during madness!!!

My idea on this case

No no paint jobs LOL

But beams of light that are bright as hell(light the 1 million candle light power lights)that shoot to the ceiling. It would look cool as hell I think 3 beams. Maybe a T P and a U in the center of the light like the batman light!!!

IDK I thought of it when I hit this thread tonight. You know those ideas that just hit you and you see them clearly......Like those ideas that normally hit you when you wake up in the morning and have to pee and you don't want to get out of bed, and then that idea just hits hard....those are the best ones IMO. :rolleyes:

Nice idea with the "Beaming Light" DaMulta..

I ordered the Laptop Hotswap cage yesterday, should be mon or tues.

After seeing the mod SteelKane did I was thinking of hinging the top. I was thinking of it opening from the left to right instead of front to back as it can be used to tie the front and rear panels together to add a bit more stiffining.

I will get some more picts tomorrow on the rear panel, top and hinges.

DaMulta · Jan 4, 2009

OMG. Someone needs to turn the "lamp" from A Christmas Story into a computer. They would be a web-hero.

MKmods · Jan 11, 2009

Oops!

It never occurred to me that the 2 laptop hot swap mount was smaller than a DVD slot...So I cut the hole for a DVD size device...
(note to self... read the stupid description next time :rolleyes:

)

ok so the box shows up and im thinking "this is way smaller then a DVD device"....

and thats with a Laptop DVD below it as well :laugh:

ok so time to make a new front panel and I also made the flip top

open sesame..

anyone know where to get small hydraulic rams at?

Chicken Patty · Jan 11, 2009

^^^ looking great.

oily_17 · Jan 11, 2009

I love the flip top on the case.

Would be very nice with a couple of Linear Actuators to open it up remotely

EDIT:Just saw this in your post :slap:

Link above might work..might be a bit over sized.

Too expensive, just use a small carjack and some boards. If thats too big then use a simple lever with some sticks or boards.

:toast:

steelkane · Jan 12, 2009

Nice work MK, Very nice,, I would try an auto part store for the arms,

Thanks very much for the link/idea oily..I can get by with a very small one (maybe 1 or 2" of travel)
Im gonna be making my own, but if anyone knows of something similar a link will be very appreciated. :respect:

$$ is a big issue with me so the cheaper the better..

Sometimes I forget you you all dont know what Im gonna do next , I will be making a panel enclosing the PS and water pump going from the rear to the front.That is why I wanted the top to open (to allow servicing of the water pump and PS) as well as adding a bit of structure/support

Thanks SK

oily_17 · Jan 12, 2009

You might have some luck on car audio part sites.Thats what I was thinking of...some are used in audio builds to lift amps etc

well, if you're looking for some small hydaulic arms, the auto industry is jam packed with them - usage for hood support, rear tailgate support, rear hatch support, etc

although not expensive, they're designed to hold much more weight than you're looking to deal with.

You could get something like this, though: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/97-98-99-ACURA-CL-GLOVE-BOX-DOOR-OPENER-SHOCK-OEM_W0QQitemZ270194407401QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting . . . or any other hydaulic shock used as a glove box support. Perhaps a trip to the local bonehoard might be in order?

MKmods · Jan 12, 2009

Thanks IR for the excellent link :respect:

getting closer

I have used the hatchback ones from the car industry for many years but they are way too stiff for this panel. the electric ones oily linked to would be nice.. Imagine push a remote and top opens... Sweet!

Here in Reno we have a few excellent junk yards to browse, may swing by them tomorrow.

not a prob . . .

and BTW - the build looks very nice so far! :toast:

oily_17 · Jan 12, 2009

Here's a good idea using a CD/DVD drive to open the lid

http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5643

Or what about a electric car aerial motor, that might work for you.

MKmods · Jan 12, 2009

Thanks for all the ideas so far...

Here is the panel I was talking about, adds support/structure to the case as well as houses the PS and water pump.

its gonna use 1/2 of the top 120mm fan to cool the PS and Pump.

jbunch07 · Jan 12, 2009

WOW this is really coming along nicely! looking great Mark!

steelkane · Jan 12, 2009

Very nice work,, I like the hidden top panel setup, Clean, So clean when done.
Off topic- Check this out http://www.svc.com/rc-1000s-kkn2-gp.html

MKmods · Jan 14, 2009

Thanks SK... I spent the day cutting the holes for the rear panel. I popped in a piece of the nice alum hex mesh I bought from Cyberdruids store (modders unite and support the arts, lol)

the top compartment will house the PS and water pump

Its amazing how small this is in person (17" tall)

I am still trying to decide on the fans to use, I need four 120mms, 3 for the rad, 1 for the mobo, and two 80s for the PS exhaust. I would kind of like them to be all from the same company. The only important part is they need to be top quality and the blades need to be a bit different. I have a pair of these sitting around
http://www.moddersmart.com/en/coolink-swif-80-mm-803-.html
as well as a pile of Silenx ones.

I am making custom housings for the fans so only blade design/color matters to me.

I did find a deal on the Sanyo Denkis that Odin Eidolon (thanks again) mentioned so thats an option as well.
