http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%201/HPIM1477Custom.jpg

Just like with my other mod, I' m doing a lot in my kamer.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%201/HPIM1478Custom.jpg

The first part of the frame
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%201/HPIM1479Custom.jpg

A bit more height
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%201/HPIM1480Custom.jpg

Voila.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%201/HPIM1481Custom.jpg

UPDATE 2

Looks like a corner to me :D
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/HPIM1482Custom.jpg

The diference with TKC. Even bigger :P
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%201/HPIM1483Custom.jpg
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%201/HPIM1484Custom.jpg

Now I had the mainframe but there is another! It comes in the other frame.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%202/HPIM1490.jpg

Frame 2
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%202/HPIM1492.jpg

Voila.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%202/HPIM1493.jpg

UPDATE 3

Not much to tell. Just watch the pictures.

First i had been bussy with the mobo tray. I needed a voluntaire and I found one.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/HPIM0165Medium.jpg

First of all the thing was too long.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%203/HPIM1495.jpg

After we treatend it with the grinder. The finish will be better , don't worry!
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%203/HPIM1497.jpg

Then it must be attached in the main frame. This has been done with two simple profiles and some rivets.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%203/HPIM1496.jpg

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%203/HPIM1498Custom.jpg

Time for some 5.25'' bays. Again with some profiles.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%203/HPIM1499.jpg

The piece were they will be attached to.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%203/HPIM1500.jpg

Plop Plop and stuck!
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%203/HPIM1501.jpg

Two little brackets were he will be supported.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%203/HPIM1502.jpg

And done incl. drive.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%203/HPIM1503.jpg

Same story for the PSU bracket.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%203/HPIM1505.jpg

Let see what we have accomplished.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%203/HPIM1506.jpg

With PSU and an old DVD-drive.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%203/HPIM1507.jpg

And another one. Don't worry about the PSU. It's improved later on.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%203/HPIM1508.jpg

I already made a setup for the 4x40 LCD.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%203/LCDsmartie.jpg

This is the TFT which will be sitting in the front.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%203/HPIM1504.jpg

Next time I w'll go on with the frame. See you then :D

[TEAMIKKE]

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%204/HPIM1510.jpg

And the frame again next to the other mod. Later on it will become clear howe big it really is.

What's inside?
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%205/HPIM1595.jpg
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%205/HPIM1600.jpg

:D
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%205/HPIM1597.jpg

hmmm.. need something better than that.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%205/HPIM1598.jpg

Mem.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%205/HPIM1599.jpg

First I had to clean the case ;)
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%205/HPIM1603.jpg

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%205/HPIM1604.jpg

Look! It's a door.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%205/HPIM1605.jpg

Stupid Q-tec PSU's. Make room for some real PSU :D
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%205/HPIM1606.jpg

Closed and clean.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%205/HPIM1607Custom.jpg

It works!
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%205/HPIM1608Custom.jpg

Although it's installed in the other case, it will be installed in Demission when it's finished. So on to the next update!

[TEAMIKKE]

UPDATE 6

Hi there! I've won some fans with a competition.

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%206/HPIM1609Custom.jpg

Noctua's! I'm going to use the 120mm. In total there are comming 7 of them in the case. I really love those things.

Next step was the begining of some interesting on the right-side of the case. Most cases are just plain at that side and I don't like that. So i came up with something. Later on wil it be clear what these are.

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%206/HPIM1610.jpg

6 little MDF pieces.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%206/HPIM1611.jpg

Next is the HD-suspension.

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%206/HPIM1516Custom.jpg

cut
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%206/HPIM1515Custom.jpg

Result
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%206/HPIM1517Custom.jpg

That's ugly as ****! So I scrapped that and came up with a verry simple idea which will be shown later on.
K.I.S.
Keep it simple ;)

Let's have a look at that TFT! It's opened with a special bit. Luckely I have some.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%206/HPIM1521Custom.jpg

Aha! The 5 volt line.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%206/HPIM1522Custom.jpg

Next up is the mobotray. It's verry sharp now. First I sanded it down but it's not perfect yet. So I took some wiring, cut it by half en presto.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%206/HPIM1612.jpg

Result
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%206/HPIM1613.jpg

Next up: Plates!

[TEAMIKKE]

UPDATE 7

Finally some interesting stuff! The plates have arrived. Let's see.

2 big parcel's. One with ''garbage'' on it which are some scrappieches. Always handy ;) Going to use them for some accents.

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%207/HPIM1623.jpg

The other one with the real parts.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%207/HPIM1624.jpg

The bottom on top.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%207/HPIM1625.jpg

A little bit more.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%207/HPIM1626.jpg

:D
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%207/HPIM1627.jpg

It's starting to look like something.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%207/HPIM1628.jpg

It's a mirror! Not ;)
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%207/HPIM1629.jpg

That's it for now. More plates next time.

Comments are welcome!

[TEAMIKKE]

UPDATE 8

More plates! Both sides this time :)
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%208/HPIM1637.jpg

Against the frame.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%208/HPIM1638.jpg

Looks a bit odd, right? Well I haven't finished them yet.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%208/HPIM1639.jpg

This is the shape it will be.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%208/HPIM1640bewerkt.jpg

In the mean time I recieved a parcel!
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%208/HPIM1641.jpg

What's inside?
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%208/HPIM1642.jpg

Noctua! :rock:
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%208/HPIM1643.jpg

Together with the other 2.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%208/HPIM1644.jpg

And here they are wating for use.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%208/HPIM1645.jpg

There all Noctua NF S-12-800 fans. The whole thing is going to run without fans but they are handy for those hot summerdays and it just looks better with fans on a radiator. Actually there are comming 2 radiators in this case :D A 360 ánd a 480! More in the next post :)

[TEAMIKKE]

Here we go again.

First some good tools. Nice saws for ALu and corners for the frame.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%209/HPIM1646.jpg

Also bouht some wheels. Not the most pretiest but they were cheap and you won't see them in the end.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%209/HPIM1647.jpg

The beginning of the 5.25'' bays. I make them out of some scrap ALu.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%209/HPIM1648.jpg

Sawed
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%209/HPIM1649.jpg

Drawing.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%209/HPIM1650.jpg

Cutted.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%209/HPIM1651.jpg

Without the plates.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%209/HPIM1677.jpg

With plates. Don't worry about the scratches! Later on the thing will be sanded down. But it's not perfect, is it? So alter on I did them again.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%209/HPIM1676.jpg

Next up were those wheels. First I had to find out where they came.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%209/HPIM1652.jpg

On the corners. How original ;) Drwaing, but it went wrong. Luckely I finded out on time.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%209/HPIM1653.jpg

Done. It lies on the top of the case.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%209/HPIM1675Custom.jpg

Because the wheels are about 2.5 cm high you'll get a gap of 2.5cm unter the case which isn't pretty. So I came up with something. I'm going to lower the case. Pimp my case!
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%209/HPIM1657.jpg

Drilled
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%209/HPIM1659.jpg

How it comes. The plate were the wheels are going to be attached to is a few cm higher than the plate which forms the bottem (sorry for crappy explenation)
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%209/HPIM1660.jpg

Toen moesten die plaatjes vast in het hoofdframe. Dus die moest ook op de operatietafel.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%209/HPIM1663.jpg
Next up: The sidepanels! First I had to mark them.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%209/HPIM1670Custom.jpg

Both sides.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%209/HPIM1671Custom.jpg

Done. Needs stil a bit of sanding.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%209/HPIM1672Custom.jpg

How it's going to look.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%209/HPIM1673Custom.jpg

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%209/HPIM1674Custom.jpg

That's it for now! See you next time folks :D

[TEAMIKKE]

Update 9

I began working on the sidepanel. First I had to made a little piece which helps me to make a nice circle. I haven't got a passer which can create a circle of 60cm ;)
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2010/HPIM1688.jpg

This is the shape :D The thing in the middle is my sign for this case. It doesn't mean anything but I like it. Designed it myself.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2010/HPIM1691.jpg

Tape off the sides which prevents scratches.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2010/HPIM1692.jpg

Takes a while to saw.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2010/HPIM1693.jpg

The other side.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2010/HPIM1694.jpg

Another piece.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2010/HPIM1695.jpg

Voila.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2010/HPIM1699.jpg

Sanded
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2010/HPIM1700.jpg

Lot off scrapmetal
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2010/HPIM1701.jpg

Under the shower to wash of the brames etc.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2010/HPIM1702.jpg

I wiped those stripes away with some Thinner.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2010/HPIM1708.jpg

Gone.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2010/HPIM1709.jpg

On the case.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2010/HPIM1703.jpg

Size-comparrison with a normal midi-tower.

Picture of me ;)
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2010/HPIM1696.jpg

That's it for now. Hope you like it ;)

[TEAMIKKE]

UPDATE 11

On the other fora were all those plates together an update so I have to jump to number 11 to get it alligned again.

This will be the airflow from the case. Red = HD's. There is only room for 5 but okay. Green are fans and blue = radiator.
http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t260/Demission/Airflow.jpg

Made a little helppiece again for some nice circle's.
http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t260/Demission/HPIM1737.jpg

Voila.
http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t260/Demission/HPIM1740.jpg

Next up: HD mountings. This is the meaning.

Not done yet ;) So next is the PSU. It need's a frame.
http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t260/Demission/HPIM1744.jpg

Done
http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t260/Demission/HPIM1750.jpg

With an old PSU
http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t260/Demission/HPIM1751.jpg

A little step further. But in the end I didn't like that thing so it's removed.
http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t260/Demission/HPIM1749.jpg

Next up: Some sanding. Not to much though.
http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t260/Demission/HPIM1748.jpg

http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t260/Demission/HPIM1747.jpg

After a time of sanding.
Kinda brushed ;) Not the finished result though. The whole thing is going to be powdercoated so it all will be sanded down with water.
http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t260/Demission/HPIM1752.jpg

http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t260/Demission/HPIM1753.jpg

Here I made a few plates for the PSU frame.

Next time more platework!

Please some comments about what you think of the project. Very curious ;)

See you next time!

[TEAMIKKE]

UPDATE 12

Well a bit late but I was on holiday so sorry for that. It's also a small one because I had to sand en fill a lot which takes a lot of time.

Both Frames together.
http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t260/Demission/Demission%20Update%2012/HPIM1762.jpg

With some plates. It's not perfect so they have changed later on.

When the top is ready, you'll get a better image of the thing.

See you next time (which will be tomorrow I think)!

[TEAMIKKE]

UPDATE 13

Some ''eye-candy''. Not really but you'll see what the project will be like.

The last piece of the puzzle arrived. The top :D

Thing on his side.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2013/HPIM1773.jpg

With top.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2013/HPIM1774.jpg

With every plate that will give you an idea how it shall look.

And now you now the shape. This is an old design of the case. Some things changed and some things are improved but you'll get the ''feeling'' ;)
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/LinksCustom.jpg

The arows on the top have been changed. I also made an original fanguard which will be shown later (even the Dutch guys don't know yet what it is). The other side of the case is even more interesting. But more on that later. The logo which you can see through the window on those 5.25'' coverplates is also removed.

Next Update: Some real work :)

[TEAMIKKE]

UPDATE 14
I've done a lot of platework but it isn't worth a picture. The proces: You'll take a plate,screw it on, mark it, treat it, screw it on again and you repeat that proces until every plate fits. Time-consuming work ;)

Luckely there are some things worth of taking a picture. This is the top.

More platework. Some were to big so I needed to reduce them.

Of course it's never good in one time.

Next up: the logo.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2014/HPIM1802.jpg

A bit blurry but you can see that it needs some serious filling.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2014/HPIM1805.jpg

After an half hour.

You'll see there's a lot of space. Bit there will be a lot of cabling in there. So i made this to cover them.

That's it for now!

[TEAMIKKE]

UPDATE 15

Not so exciting because I was ill. So I just did what I could.

I had to extend all the cabels from my PSU in my other mod which I didn't like. So that had to be different this time. I made an extension cable. But then you need a male-molex and I didn't have one. So I got my dremel and cut it off an old CD-drive.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2015/HPIM1835.jpg

Then I needed cables. An old PSU with a sticker: ''AMD K7 en Intel P4'' 125 watt.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2015/HPIM1842.jpg

The inside.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2015/HPIM1834.jpg

Cut of the cables and solder them.

More interesting stuff you can find in a PSU. It's a stekker were I'm going to putt the waterpump on.

The moboplate. You see a strip on the right. It was also on the left but I don't like them so I removed it.

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2015/HPIM1848.jpg

Big improvement. Next up was the making of the backplate. I put the donor PSU in so I can draw it on the plate.

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2015/HPIM1852.jpg

Here I made it stuck on the PSU with two simple screws. It gives an impression of how clean it will be.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2015/HPIM1853.jpg

That's it for now. Hope you like it. If you do: rate my threat! I'm very curious of what you think of it.

[TEAMIKKE]

UPDATE 16

Well, finally something what you like! I Hope at least ;) Let start.

I needed somehting which coners that nasty need on the back where the panel goes around (?) the moboplate. The things in the inside are for the PSU.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2016/HPIM1855.jpg

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2016/HPIM1856.jpg

Done.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2016/HPIM1863.jpg

Without.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2016/HPIM1866.jpg

With. It's better don't you think? There will be an illuminated 6mm plexie strip under it so you get the net setup:

-ALu plate which will be polist
-Illuminated plexie
-Case

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2016/HPIM1865.jpg

Next up was some plexie. I had laying around some pieces.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2016/HPIM1860.jpg

In the garage I found even more.

After some cutting in the rain.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2016/HPIM1862.jpg

Rougly done. But I decided to buy one piece so it's a little neater in the end.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2016/HPIM1864.jpg

Finally! This is the engine whcih will power some things in the case ;)

12 V and 2400 RPM. Way to fast. But I will solve that problem. Here's a little video with it.

To make some thing's clear: This will be the right side of the case.

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2016/Achter.jpg

Remember that these are old sketches. The plan has changed a bit so I won't explain completely what my intention is. Of course I will explain it later on.

Why all this fuss you may think? Because I'm always frustrated when beautifull mods don't have a modded right-panel. Or at least the panel were the window isn't. I think this is a lot better than a standard panel ;)

[TEAMIKKE]

UPDATE 17

Not to many comments! Too bad but you can't stop me with that :clap:

I made a little housing for my motor.

First I made a little holder (?) from foam. It dampens it.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2017/Ge1.jpg

Then I made casing itself from scrap ALu that I had laying around.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2017/Gerisezed1.jpg

A little bit of bending et voila.

UPDATE 18 & 19

Hello again!

I don't like screws on mods so I 'll use inbusjes (do you call it like that in English?).

A whole box. 500 pieces.

All M4. I think it's going to give a nice contrast with the eventually black.

A little picture from my room. See also my other hobby. I sold it this week though because modding is much more fun ;)

Something went wrong with the frame so I had te rebuild a few pieces.

See you next time :clap:

That's it for now. The rough shape is there. It takes really loads of time to finetune them. It is a milestone however. Finally it's looking a bit more at casemodding then casebuilding ;)

See you next time :clap:

[TEAMIKKE]

UPDATE 21

It toke a while but I was to lazy to transelate the thing so sorry for that. I'm still working on it although the progress is slowly. It has to be perfect and that takes a lot of time.

First I made the logo on the front. It's not done yet.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2021/HPIM2076Custom.jpg

I made the innerframe attached to the outerframe. Before
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2021/HPIM2081Custom.jpg

After
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2021/HPIM2082Custom.jpg

Next up is the underside. It was very bad. Watch the black stripes. It should be like that ;)

And after I treatend it :thumb:
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2021/HPIM2100.jpg

New materials for the innerframe. Again some rivets. I already used 500 of them!
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2021/HPIM2101.jpg

Next step was finetuning the logo.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2021/HPIM2103.jpg

With very small files for those little spots ;)
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2021/HPIM2104.jpg

Thé tool of choice to create straight edges.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2021/HPIM2105.jpg

The residu from one plate after sanding. This was needed to let the plate fit the frame well. I made all the plates 2mm too big so I could correct small things later. That's what I did on that moment.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2021/HPIM2106.jpg

After a few plates

And some more. I cleaned it with the compressor.

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2021/HPIM2109.jpg

That's it again. I'll try to update more now. On the other forums I'm with update 32 so you still have to see something! Please let me know what you think of it:clap: See you next time!

[TEAMIKKE]

And that's it for now. I'm further but it takes time to transalate the logs. What do you think of it?

[TEAMIKKE]

All right, just a little one ;)

UPDATE 22

Finally an update. It took me a while but I'll promise I'll go on the next couple of days.

I didn't get why the frame dind't fit very well. So I went looking:
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2022/HPIM2112.jpg

I used a scrap-part for support. Never good.

Next were the 5.25'' bays. I needed a plate here.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2022/HPIM2113.jpg

Not bad :)
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2022/HPIM2114.jpg

Suddenly it looks better.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2022/HPIM2116.jpg

At the back will be a few switches and power for the pump.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/1-4.jpg

Made a plate for it.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/HPIM2118.jpg

Bussy with rebuilding the innerframe. There were a lot of old holes in it so I made a new one.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/HPIM2119.jpg

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/HPIM2120.jpg

Next up was the front.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/HPIM2121.jpg

Not bad.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/HPIM2122.jpg

Back part rebuilded
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/HPIM2125.jpg

More platework.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/HPIM2128.jpg

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/HPIM2129.jpg

Without tape
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/HPIM2131.jpg

Not bad again.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/HPIM2130.jpg

Next up were some holes for fan-mounting. But I dind't had a good mal (mole?) so I adjusted an old fan for the new purpose ;)
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/HPIM2132.jpg

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/HPIM2133.jpg

28 holes further
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/HPIM2134.jpg

The back needed a hole for the PSU
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/HPIM2135.jpg

At once :)

Overview
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/HPIM2137.jpg

That's it for now. More soon!

[jdbnsn]

Welcome to TBCS!!!! I saw your project on GOT, thank you for posting it here for us to view as well! We'll certainly enjoy watching you build it.

[SgtM]

This is the type of stuff we love to see here at TBCS. Complete custom fabrication. Can't wait to see more.

+rep

[p0Pe]

first thought:
another case with small, nonstable scrap pieces

second thought:
wow... its actually looking nice!

third thought:
damn that thing is big xD!

+rep for such nice work and such a big custom made case:p

[The boy 4rm oz]

Just finished reading the whole work log, very nice work so far. +rep

[TEAMIKKE]

Thanks guys! Glad you like it. I'm still very busy with it. Can assure you there will be some nice features. That's also the reason why it is so big. Mainly because it houses a 480 (4x12cm) radiator. At this moment I can cool it passive with that thing.

More in the next couple of days!

[Helix666]

You do very nice work, and you write English very well.
I'm liking it so far.

+rep. :)

[Xperiment]

That truely is some amazing metal work and a great overall design for the build. I find it so difficult to work with metal, you've done a spot on job so far. Keep it up!

[brinkz0r]

Hey, good to see you here too :) I will post my upcoming project here too, but I already decided that before jdbnsn posted at GoT :p

[TEAMIKKE]

I'm glad that everything is understandable ;) Just aks if something is not!

@Xperiment: I get a lot of practice. It's a total of 4m² ALu in total so yeah, you do get a feel for it after a while.

@Brinkz0r: Curious! You mean another project after Cubeleon?

I shall transalate another update within the comming hours.

[TEAMIKKE]

UPDATE 23

A big update this time. and an important one! Because there will be light. A very important feature for this case. hope you like it ;)

The package from China.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2200.jpg

Unwrapped
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2253.jpg

LED's :) 300 in total with some accesoires for it.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2252.jpg

More toys.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2201.jpg

Also more watercooling. But first I cleaned everything up a bit.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2207.jpg

New blocks. I really like them because they are cheap, good quality and perform very well. the don't look bad either ;) Alphacool btw.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2208.jpg

Old coolers.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2254.jpg

Installing. Everything you'll need.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2222.jpg

I first made the vid. ready.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2225.jpg

Next was removing all the old tubing.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2223.jpg

Done. the green tube is still old because I ran out of tubing. Doesn't matter.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2226.jpg

Next up were the leds.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2202.jpg

First plate. You'll find out alter, where all the lines are for.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2209.jpg

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2210.jpg

These leds are 3 V each. So i put 4 of them in a row so I'll get 12v and then they get power from the PSU.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2211.jpg

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2213.jpg

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2214.jpg

Dark room.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2220.jpg

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2221.jpg

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2216.jpg

Although it is quite bright, it isn't overdone. Only the case lit up and that's what I want. With CCFL's you dont need other lamps anymore in your room. Also, the shiny ALu reflects a lot. I can assure you it is a lot more subtile when it is all black.

Next up was construction again. Some plates are good, others aren't. I replaced some bad plates because I want a good case.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2228.jpg

With Led's.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2229.jpg

Cool effect
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2233.jpg

These are shining on a graphic LCD later on.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2234.jpg

Wiring
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2235.jpg

They all go to a small central point where I'll can swithc them on/off later on.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2236.jpg

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2237.jpg

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2238.jpg

A row of Leds in the lower area of the case. First I had to make a plate for it.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2239.jpg

Fits!
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2256.jpg

Time to finetune the bottem.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2240.jpg

A bit furhter again. you'll see the housing for the leds.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2241.jpg

Now with leds
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2243.jpg

Wired. There will be some cable-guiders later on so don't worry.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2244.jpg

Let there be light! Cool right?
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2245.jpg

With the panel on. Not very clear.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2246.jpg

Very clear ;)
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2248.jpg

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2249.jpg

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/HPIM2251.jpg

That's it for now. All this hard labour has been done with a little handycap ;)

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2023/Voet.jpg

That's it again. More next time. The ALu reflect loads of light and the cam picks it al up either so it looks very bright but in reality it is less.

thanks for reading!

[Xperiment]

Great work with the LED's, nice contrast between the 2 colours. Still gobsmacked by the metal work though .... :)

[brinkz0r]

@Brinkz0r: Curious! You mean another project after Cubeleon?

Hell yeah :banana: You'll see it within a week or so ;)

Edit: You're even using the same toothbrush as me for casemodding:D

[jdbnsn]

OMG! Another Dutch modder? Woohoo! Please share :)

[Darth Dad]

Very nice metal work...

The LEDs are sweet too...:D

What kind of LCD screen are you using? Is there some particular software you planning to use with it? My son and I are installing a Crystalfontz LCD in our mod. Frozen Sun.

[Xperiment]

I have always used LCD Smartie (http://lcdsmartie.sourceforge.net/) in the past. Not sure if your familiar with it, but its definitely worth a look.

[The boy 4rm oz]

LCD Studio is also great for writing aps. I use it for my Logitech G15.

[TEAMIKKE]

I'm using LCD smartie and LCD Studio indeed. It works great. My graphic LCD doesn't work very well yet but thats because I can't find a good scheme. I had a 20x4 LCD but sold that one again. It worked briljantly though. Gonna buy another one ;)

[brinkz0r]

OMG! Another Dutch modder? Woohoo! Please share :)

I will, please be patient ;)

[TEAMIKKE]

UPDATE 24

Here we go again. Still a lot of ALu-work but I'm getting closer to plexie-work. Then it will be interesting!

First I made a fanguard for the top. I wanted it to be original so after a couple of crazy brainwaves I came up with this.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2024/HPIM2267.jpg

Cut out
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2024/HPIM2268.jpg

Bend it baby! :)
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2024/HPIM2269.jpg

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2024/HPIM2270.jpg

the whole thing.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2024/HPIM2271.jpg

On top :)
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2024/HPIM2272.jpg

I had to make it all a bit more flat. I did this with a rbber hamer and some train-tracks!
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2024/HPIM2276.jpg

Next up: A big plate which will be some sort of back-plate.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2024/HPIM2277.jpg

Disaster strikes! The fake-Dremel molted :(
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2024/HPIM2278.jpg

A bit hard to see but the cooling-fan just melted to one big clomp of plastic!
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2024/HPIM2279.jpg

So I had to improvise a bit. Well, the results aren't that bad I quess.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2024/HPIM2280.jpg

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2024/HPIM2281.jpg

I need to be able to mount and unmount this plate because the mobotray is firmly attached with rivvets. But I can't slide it over the mobotray. It needed soms adjustmentes!
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2024/HPIM2282.jpg

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2024/HPIM2292.jpg

Because the Alu gets really hot when you are treating it, has it to be cooled. So on to the shower ;)
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2024/HPIM2294.jpg

finetuning the frame with the sandingmachine.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2024/HPIM2293.jpg

Done. Nice and straight.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2024/HPIM2296.jpg

This is what happens, when you put to many ''screws'' in a box.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2024/HPIM2314.jpg

Made 2 brackets so I can mount the back-plate.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2024/HPIM2315.jpg

Next up was the right side.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2024/HPIM2316.jpg

Drilled holes for some leds.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2024/HPIM2317.jpg

Mail from China!
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2024/HPIM2297.jpg

With a LTP-connector! Just that. The man from who I ordend it, deliverd the wrong connector. So he sended me the good one all the way from china. Good service, right?
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2024/HPIM2299.jpg

And the last one!
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2024/HPIM2298.jpg

The are thing you can put on the end of curtainrails. I'm going to use it for some reservoirs. But that's for the next time!

I realise it's a bit hard to get an idea from what it will be when it's finished but just keep following the updates and it will become clear ;)

Thanks for reading again.

[The boy 4rm oz]

Alu work looks great mate. Sucks about the fake Dremel, mine looks just like the except it's blue (Sontax). The other day mine overheated and wouldn't start, had to leave it for a few hours and come back to do the modding ;).

[TEAMIKKE]

I just went back with it to the shop were I bought it. I had warrenty so I did get a new one. Along with new accesoires as cutting disks and more of that stuff. that's what make these things so good: They cost nothing and when they die after a year, you just get a new one!

[The boy 4rm oz]

Haha, yeah I may have to try that with mine, I am out of grinding attachments anyway lol ;).

EDIT: I went to do some with mine just know and the stupid thing wont turn on lol, now I really do need a new one haha.

[jdbnsn]

imagispire fixed up your graphic header.

[AMD_TaT3rs]

where do you get your sheet metal? i cant find any. oh yeah and the project looks sweet so far.

[Eclecticos]

Looks great so far. . Really like how ya recessed the casters.

[TEAMIKKE]

imagispire fixed up your graphic header.

GREAT! Thank you a lot:banana:


@AMD_TaT3rs: I've helped a friend of mine. I builded a pc for him and in return he could offer me ALu plates. So I dind't get it from any shop or something.

I would try a local smith, junkyard of somehting like that.

@Eclecticos: Thank you ;)

Thanks for the input! I'll transalate another update shortly.

[AMD_TaT3rs]

alright thanks for the help.:glasses:

[TEAMIKKE]

No problemo ;)

Update 25

I've got a new (fake) Dremel!

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2025/HPIM2322.jpg

That's it ;)

UPDATE 26

I've been bussy with the real life so dind't made much progress but it's better than nothing ;)

I need UV-light for the tubing and so, so I made a few plates which will house soms UV-leds.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2026/HPIM2328.jpg

Cutted
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2026/HPIM2329.jpg

With a few holes in it.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2026/HPIM2330.jpg

A few led's further. The hole between the plates is for the radiator.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2026/HPIM2332.jpg

All the wiring goes to the front of the case.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2026/HPIM2333.jpg

Light! To bad my cam. isn't that good. In real life the colour is purple.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2026/HPIM2334.jpg

Overview
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2026/HPIM2335.jpg

And a little test with some blue-UV liquid. Works brilliantly!
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2026/HPIM2338.jpg

I also ordered the plexie so now it's getting real! Read on ;)

UPDATE 27

Time for a bigger update!

Goodies again. What's in the box?
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2027/HPIM2323.jpg

My own toolset :) Now I don't have te borrow them from my dad.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2027/HPIM2324.jpg

Next up was an 4x20 LCD. First I had to make room for it.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2027/HPIM2340.jpg

Done

Succes!
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2027/HPIM2412.jpg

Blurry, but it gives an idea how the lighting is.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2027/HPIM2411.jpg

Next I fine tuned the fanquard on top.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2027/HPIM2344.jpg

Then I made another fanquard for the other radiator.

There will be some nice mesh behind it ;)
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2027/HPIM2403.jpg

Bought a few switches.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2027/HPIM2429.jpg

Then I made a bracket with USB. I missed that in my other mod so this one had to had it ;)

That's it again. Next time some plexiework!

thanks for reading.

[Xperiment]

Great metal work as always, UV LED's look spot on aswel. Very much looking forward to the plexi work.

Top Stuff +rep

[The boy 4rm oz]

LEDs look great mate, if you want them to disperse more light and make a more even glow just give the tops of the LEDs a quick sand with some sand paper.

[Darth Dad]

I love the way the LEDs look...:D

Also I think your "Home Made" case looks great! (I've seen factory built cases not half as nice!)

All the room in the world....

Very impressive! :up:

[TEAMIKKE]

Thanks guys! :D


LEDs look great mate, if you want them to disperse more light and make a more even glow just give the tops of the LEDs a quick sand with some sand paper.

I'm using more kinds of LEDs. I use for the lighting some 35 degreas LEDs. Also for the UV. But I will use 120 degreas LEDs later on with the plexie. They spread the light a lot so I don't have to sand them then. But thanks for the tip ;)

[The boy 4rm oz]

No problem buddy, just putting that out there.

I love that giant radiator.

A little list:

-Black Ice 480 GTX Extreme
-6 8/10 turns
-7 (8x10)
-2 T peaces(8/10)
- Glowmotion green

Rest of the stuff will come later.

A radiator needs cooling off course.

Nice mesh! It's actually racing mesh for in cars.

And that's the real end from this update. Hope you like it. At least I do ;)

[The boy 4rm oz]

Those logos look so bad ass. Great work mate. Just a quick question, how much air do those Noctua fans push?

[TEAMIKKE]

I can't give you numbers but it isn't that much. I've had some Coolermaster Silent LED fans, which are quite familiar I quess. The Noctua's move less air than them. But you can definetely feel air flowing.

They are great for watercooling because you don't need much passing through. Also for silent air coolers and casefans but your temp. will properly be higher then.

I really love them because they are dead-silent. Only the price is a shame ;)

[Luke122]

Looking great!

We hope to keep seeing more great work from you, as before, Welcome to TBCS!

[SgtM]

Lookin good. +rep

[p0Pe]

hope you have a sirious pump for all those bends and that rad:D looking god! cant wait to see some rad grills xD

[Darth Dad]

Gadzooks! Are you sure that rad is big enough??

Are planning to use it to supply emergency cooling for Nuclear Power Plants??

I didn't even realize they made 480 rads....

+rep for going over the top! :D

[TEAMIKKE]

+rep for going over the top! :D

lol 8) Thank you!

There will be no radgrillz. They aren't made for this rad. And they aren't very original. I made my one.

About the pump: There will be 2 :rolleyes: Actually, there will be 2 loops.

Loop 1: Laing DDC-1T pump, 480GTX, CPU, GPU and mobo blcoks + home made reservoir.
Loop 2: Laing DDC-1T pump, 360 rad., Mem, VRM's and more + home made reservoir.

So there you have it! I hope you understand why the case is so big: There will be loads of big components! I can ensure you, the whole case will be filled to the top.

Thanks for the +rep!

[Darth Dad]

A 480 and a 360 rad??? :?

You are sick, sick person... but I like the way you think! :banana:

[TEAMIKKE]

Thank you! As a result from al that cooling power, I can run without any fans turned on! So that's nice ;)

[The boy 4rm oz]

Awesome amount of cooling power mate. Should keep everything near ambient lol (with fans turned on). I would recommend the smaller rad have fans on permanently just in case, you wouldn't notice they were on anyway.

[billygoat333]

lol thats intense. :P

[TEAMIKKE]

Some fans on is always good for the airflow. It's better for some mobo-components and the HD's although they'll also function without it. And you're right: There's no difference in noice-levels with those Noctua's on or off.

But every modder hates it to switch the fans on and of, right? Leaning over to the case, do the job and lean back takes at least 5 seconds from our time!

So I came up with something for that:rolleyes: More tomorrow!

[The boy 4rm oz]

I also recommend you permanently have a fan on the HDD. I am running my comp outside of the case on my desk and to start off I didn't have a fan on my HDD. I touched it once and it burnt my finger lol after that I have kept a fan on it and it runs cool as a cucumber. The HDD is one of those things that CAN be passively cooled but a fan will give you a less chance of HDD failure and data loss.

[TEAMIKKE]

do you live in South Africa or Germany or neither?

neither as said but why do you want to know, if I may ask? No problem off course ;)

About the HD's: They are cooled but not with a fan. I've designed the case is such a wat that they are cooled by the case itself. So the metal takes the heat away. That's why they aren't getting hot even without fans.

[TEAMIKKE]

UPDATE 29

Here we go again! A nice big update to satisfie you all out there ;) I founded out that it's going to take a lot of time to treat all the plexi well and solder the more than 200 leds!

First supllies!
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2029/HPIM2478.jpg

Graphic LCD
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2029/HPIM2476.jpg

It doesn't work yet because some wires came lose during the transporting. But I'll fix that at the end.

Plexiwork! To create some depth in the case, am I using more ''layers'' of plexie and ALu. So I made a big logo for on the window.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2029/HPIM2474.jpg

Result. It rained when I was cutting so you see some rain ;)
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2029/HPIM2477.jpg

Then some shiny stuff! Why do I use this and don't polish the whole stuff?

-This is far more lighter. I'm using 2 mm ALu. It becomes a sandwich of 2mm ALu + 5mm plexie + 2 mm ALu which would result in a 9mm thick panel! A bit overdone.
-This is far more less work.
-It gives me the same effect.
-It's replecable. When there will be some scratches on it, I can just remove it and put some new stuff one it.
-You've got everywhere the same result.

The bad side:
-It's expensive
-It's hard to get right
-It's hard to photograve ;)

Altough the die-hard modders maybe would go for polishing, will there also be a lot of them who think: Hey! That isn't as bad as it sounds! At least, I hope you do ;)

Just begin.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2029/HPIM2479.jpg

With the protective firm still on it. This will be removed with case-assembly.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2029/HPIM2480.jpg

Then some leds!
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2029/HPIM2481.jpg

Results! :)
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2029/HPIM2482.jpg

On the case

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2029/HPIM2487.jpg

The leds are even so bright that they shine trough the firm! I've got a solution for that though.

Next I made a mock up for the front. But dind't made any pics from the results ;)
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2029/HPIM2473.jpg

Then I atteched the new and fresh mobo-tray. Forgotten that in the last update trough all the excitment.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2029/HPIM2489.jpg

Toen aftekenen waar plexie moest komen.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2029/HPIM2488.jpg

More plexi.

And another little piece
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2029/HPIM2492.jpg

I just skip some photo's because I think you'll al know how I treatend it ;) So here I'm bussy with leds again.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2029/HPIM2496.jpg

Turn it on!
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2029/HPIM2497.jpg

This is the backplate btw. As you see, I'm trying to get details everywhere.

And also made the mesh fit.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2029/HPIM2495.jpg

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2029/HPIM2494.jpg

Also bought some wire. Just cheap speaker-wire but it works briljantly for all those leds.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k208/TEAMIKKE/Demission%20Update%2029/HPIM2493.jpg

That's it again! See you next time and thanks for reading :)

[Xperiment]

Great work as always, love the logo in the window.

[The boy 4rm oz]

That logo looks so cool, great work.

[billygoat333]

again, redundantly, the logo looks effin cool! love the leds and the plexi work. +rep.

this case is awesome! and will of course be amazing when it is finished, can't wait!

Thank you. Altough they aren't correct ;) That design isn't from this case.
But thank you anyway! I like the one I have now.

Thanks for the great comments guys!

[Darth Dad]

Nice LED work!

Maybe you should think about running them in groups thru potentiometers. That way you could control the brightness..

Just a thought...
