Project: DayWalker

[DarthBeavis]

DayWalker is sort of a group project. I enlisted a modder buddy, geno[at]boxgods.com, to design a Blade-themed case. He took my basic idea and really ran with it (putting in over 300 hours of highly-professional work). I think Dead Guy and CPUKIllah will attest to the quality of his SolidWorks designs.

TribalOverkill created an amazing Blade-themed resevoir/shield specifically for this project.

At the moment the metal parts are being fabricated and likey plated.

Soon we will cut the acryllic portions at DD.

The rig will be two gaming rigs in one case with a removable file server on the top. The shape of the build is a cross. The arms of the cross contain two 20" LCD monitors in the 'top' and 'bottom' arm of the cross. When the rig is turned on the cross arms turn to gaming mode by rotating 90 degree so you can see two monitors from the front and two from the back.

There is a glitch in my Solidworks install that make the screws big so disregard that .

please move to wip . . .tho this will be in your hall of fame . . .yes . . .it surely will ;)

[SgtM]

Moved for you. Great design. Can't wait to see more.

[The boy 4rm oz]

Just saw this on the DD forums. I love the idea, it's going to be huge but not as big as that Tetris clan PC build. Can't wait for more.

[IndyRacer27]

That's a very ambitious design. I like it. 300 hours to design it? Motivation like that is impressive. Can't wait to see more.

Let's start with the featured section, with you, Tribal, and geno having your hands in this I have no doubt it will be a famed project either.

[Drum Thumper]

Nice, another awesome mod I get to follow from the beginning! +rep, can't wait to see what you guys come up with!

[dexaroni]

It's looking great man! I'll definitely have to swing by and check it out in person. I don't care if I can't drive, I'll foot it to see such magnificence.

This thing will be on par with Project Mars City, no doubt.

Wow, looking good. Is that your only pic? How long did that take you to put together?

[DarthBeavis]

Ben at Mountain Mods put it together . . .

A little sure of yourself aren't we? LOL, seriously looks good so far.

But just a suggestion, please don't use thumbnails for your links. Its a real PITA to click on each picture.

Thanks!

[nevermind1534]

If you just put the actual picture in, it will automatically be resized to fit.

[Acey]

Most of it is back from painting at Smooth Creations. . .I decided to build the two game systems facing eachother since we did not get the windows lasered out like I had planned. You will see the systems from the front. I am still waiting on parts . . .by the time I SHOULD have everything I will have four to five days to put it together and have it working before loading up the Uhaul trailer and heading down . . .I have the three chromed Koolance PSUS (loaners), waiting on fittings and power hubs from Bitspower, GPUs from Palit (loaners), ram from Crucial, water-cooling from Danger Den, and fans from Performance PCs to arrive . . .

Got the party started (total of six Palit 280s, installed DD Tieton Nickle-plated blocks on them today, also two more of the Koolance PSUS not shown due to space on the table). The ram is custom Crucial Ballstix Tracer DD3 modules with red heatspreader, LEDS, and PCB. I asked them to spread the LEDS out instead of being in a tight group. Build has seven pumps with clear tops and seven BI GTX 360 rads.
