Today I took behind the LED masking. Diodes (strips) will be inserted in front and on the sides of the stand.







With balsa I made the grilles and I covered them with ash. Diodes will be inserted in the middle and in front of them will be plexi.







The front will be a light stand and the diodes under it. Something like this little backlight that's on the front laptop.

The whole looks like this:





For those moments it's all - after payout you need to have a razor to improve the intel leap;)

Sora for quality but at this time, it's not the time to take Pictures;)

So everything will be painted.
The stand (MDF and plywood 10 mm) will be painted in black mat - all wood (ash) in the lacquer (half-mat).

To finish just a little bit:

- You need to sift through and seize

- Paint

- After painting the wooden elements

- make RGB LEDs

- Delic CPU + thermo paste + polishing cooling + increase the CPU pressure.

- Paint all your laptop cooling on a black mat.

- Mount the screws from the bottom of your laptop.


I can not wait either;) I'm very happy that you like it.

We are still working on the bottom of the laptop - but some of the elements will be covered with ash.

















Aquatuning.pl Sponsor Pack should arrive within 2 weeks - then we will take care of the cooling of the laptop. (Delid, painting + better clamping for layouts).

It went like this:





I am happy, of course, the whole thing you still have to fix on the screws, sand the material and the whole to paint :)

UP!













You just have to buy other screws (shorter probably on the bus).

Nuts were melted, then pulled out and pasted into the resulting place :)

I made a recess so that the overlay was easier to paste into place

Yes - it will be painted black :) - calmly, first you have to prepare the surfaces and give the backing layer;)

Due to the fact that the didy is wiped and glued to its place, it is time to paste the sides and front into the elements on which the laptop stands. As soon as it goes all will still receive a layer of gray primer - then we will compensate for defects, another primer and final black matte paint.

The item under the laptop is already done - the break is not corrected. It is true that the aim is not to be similar enough. How to dry to matt and give a light cloud of paint.

Combination of ash and black similar to me: D

Really interesting project. Will do you a newer revision of this and make it a bit slimmer or is that not possible?

Only if he gets an actual waterblock milled, looks like he's already at the limit with the copper piping and fittings.

Would be interesting to see how a new revision would improve the whole thing, because from what I can see now the laptop isn't a laptop anymore, more or less a stationary desktop :)

The laptop is raised by 28mm.

Not true - laptop can work without LC pad - and with it the working culture of the game is great!

nd is still wet). Paint with porous texture is more resistant to scratches.

- Of course not everything is on tip top - you have to improve a little here and there. But the whole is git.

- I got some varnished items and I have to rip off the little black dots and give a new layer of lacquer.
