Okay, knowing the computer community, everyone is thinking HD as being high definition; right? Guess again LOL.
Okay, this is in fact a computer mod project log, and will probably end up being a long one at that lol. May end up being a record for length of the project
Anyhow, got a start with the case being picked up today. This has been a two to three year "thinking about it" kind of thing, but decided to start the project in the last week or so.
Soooo, the computers main enclosure is an HD 88" twin cam case
This area will pretty much be gone, for the most part. At least the inside, as this will be where the motherboard will be housed.
This next picture is the outside of the case. If you look at the first picture, you will see the same two oil line barbs. The area on the right hand side, where the barbs are, will be gone. This will be opened up from the top transmission bolt flange down to the bottom flange to house the motherboard. I am going to use a micro ATX board, as a full ATX board would not, (I don't think), fit the purpose.
This area is also where I will be installing the power supply. I am in current design of an aluminum "box" of some sort to resemble the transmission that mounts in this area.
Now to the cylinder area of the case. I will be picking up some cylinder jugs tomorrow. These have a steel insert in them, but if one heats the "jugs" up in an oven, which I will be doing this at my pals powdercoating oven, the steel inserts will pretty much fall out leaving just the aluminum outer air cooled fined jug.
The cylinder area is where I will be installing the dual 250gb SATA II hard drives, with the SATA and power connectors pointing toward the top of the cylinder. I am still trying to find a set of borked heads for this project, as I want the SATA cable to lead out of the spark plug hole in the head to simulate a plug wire
Keep in mind, that at the top of the cylinder jugs, there will be a 120mm or 140mm fan mounted to blow air past the two hard drives, and also assist in CPU cooling, as the CPU will be below in the main crank case area of the block.
One might think this thing will weigh a ton, but to be honest, once I cut what needs to be cut out, the bare block probably only weighs about 7 pounds. I figure with the cylinders, it will weigh about 12 or 13 pounds.
Well, that is about all I have at the moment, other than; if anyone knows where I can pickup a set of heads, cam side cover, and/or transmission case very, very cheap, please, please let me know!!! I want this to pretty much look just like a Harley-Davidson engine
I will be adding many, many pictures as the milling and machining starts to take affect.
Also pay close attention to this original post, as I will be adding many sponsors to this thread
