3D model of hardware by Google SketchUp

Looks a lot like something people here at Purdue do with AutoCAD or CATIA. Nicely done, maybe you should consider a career in manfacturing graphics! Hahaha.

I definitely have to mess with SketchUp, I have a friend in TX who joined before Google bought them, I love modelling. BTW - the fans blades are exquisite.

You should be proud... when you are done, are you going to overclock it?

Well hell yeah!.... that is, in my dreams. I really don't see this thing getting built, it's just a design exercise, some wishful thinking. I'm glad you appreciate it, the fan blades took me a LONG time. Perhaps more powerful software like AutoCAD has streamlined ways of drawing that sort of thing, Sketchup doesn't.

Yeah Probably should. My current career sucks. So, if anyone is listening, I'll happily take up any job offers you might care to make. Lol.

AutoCAD is 1337, I'm gonna try to use Google SketchUp

Well... I think the "competition" would be Solidworks or Autodesk Inventor, but those are way expensive. From what I've heard, SketchUp is way easy to use for static modelling, and you've done it handily. IM me.

I just had a 5 minute geez at the Solidworks and Autodesk inventor websites. And yeah they're wayyyyyy above SketchUp, although the basics look the same. Sketchup is very easy to learn, I had most of it worked out on a couple of days. You should definitely have a go.

Nice design. I DLed it to take a closer look. Thanks

 

[Cuzza]

thanks for having a look. I'm tempted to have another go at this but it's a pain, my laptop runs it ptetty slowly being such a complex model and all. There are a few issues with the design, cable management and airflow will probably be atrocious

looks great and you obviously have both the talent and skill for this kind for drawing.... seems like industrial designer in the making...

Maybe I do need a career change. I'm currently working as a chocolate scientist, not really enjoying that.

Man that's kind of funny to hear
