This projekt is sponsored by:
www.CoolBits.dk
since i got a lot of old hardware at home as many others, ive decided to put it all together so i can get some use of my old IDE harddrives.
i have some simple plans to put this together but i aint gonna use a lot of money, ive sold my soul to my mother (moving horse**** from barn to field :/) just to get this:
http://coolerkit.dk/Graphics/Products/803.jpg
im gonna use this because its gonna be very compact and not giving off a lot of heat since its old hardware.
specs:
something something MB
amd athlon 2.4 ghz
512 mb ram
geforce 4 TI 4200
hdd:
200 gb
160 gb
80 gb
xxx gb
to give you an impresion of how much im actually gonna stuff in this ive made this:
http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/7329/scrapheapxn5.jpg
all i actually need is some tubes, a rad (since om not gonna use my extra dual 120 rad), and some fluid.
im thinking of a few ideas on how to wrap it together but still working on it, basicly, im going to put PSU in one "box" in the bottom, and res/pump and dvd-rom in another, and put the MB etc on top. still not sure how to integrate the hdd´s and rad:/... but ill figur it out:P
http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/8949/scrapheapchallengewe5.jpg
comments and suggestions are very velcome:) im counting on ordering the res/pump today, and ill think about getting a cheap rad. (if anyone from denmark inhere has a cheap rad they dont use please pm me:D)
another pic just to show some more detailed sketches
http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/3783/scrapheapchallenge2xi1.jpg
comments anyone?
thx all:)
what do you think of this?, ive put the rad in one of the bottoms, (120 mm) and layid harddrives on top of each other, i may have to go for 3 harddrives only, since i can get more space between and will only have to leed 1 power cable downthere (since most psu goes with 3 molex pr. cable
http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/8341/scrapheapchallenge3hj5.jpg
(the image looks like sh## if you dont watch it in full res:p)
EDIT:
ive put a dual 120 mm rad in for comparison... as you can see its friggin big :S thats why ill have to get a single 120:/.. only have dual 120 lying around
http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/407/scrapheapchallenge4lj9.jpg
comments?
Why can't you use the duel 120mm?
its far to big, and would have to be placed in the rear or something:/
as shown before look at the size compared to the rest :eek:
http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/407/scrapheapchallenge4lj9.jpg
okay a small update.
got som alu to work on (alot actually so have plenty to the whole case i think) and also worked a prototype bend out to see if its possible to bend this with the machine im working with.
and gues what:D... it worked almost fine with som minor adjustments xD
test bend:
http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/527/p1010117hh5.jpg
http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/7495/p1010118qr6.jpg
ive bended it so there is room in the midle for this if i get mad and decide to get a bigger pump and a bigger res:P
http://coolerkit.dk/Graphics/Products/334.jpg
since its a test bend, its not the right lenght, and the piece of alu thats in the left end is just scrap... its not gonna be there in the final model.
muharhar:D!!!
just as i have fizzled a bit with bending the alu in school, on the way home me and my girlfriend takes a look into the local aldi store, and gues what :D... the acryllic case which normally costs 1599 DKR (266 us$) is now on sale for 200 DKR XDDDDD... (33 us$)
ive allready bought one, and im gonna buy one more, and make this case of acryllic, and maybe paint some of it and so on:D
im not really god at holding on to one plan and maybe this projekt is gonna change much more... who knows :p
happy modding:)
errrr what?
I think the aluminum would work best for the frame, put in the acrylic where you would like, i think top would be sweet and some side windows. the cylindrical rad. is effing sweet too dude!! i think that would look great in the middle section.
yeah i like the res alot to:p... so hope i have the cash to get it... and im gonna go for the aliminium for a bottom frame, and then make a top of alu to, and some windows of acrylic, and mesh... got to get some drawings down heh
BUT... ****ty bang bang, my camera is fracked so untill i find a card reader somewhere (got one lying around "somewhere") you will have to do with pure text:think: [boooring]
ive split the acrylic case apart so i have the bottom and the top plate which im gonna make my hdd holder, and my dvd drive holder. gonna cut something of theese to make them fit, and make a tray to em so they are gonna stay where i want them to stay.
ive decided to reverse the design so psu, dvd-drive and res/pump is going to be on the side the harddrives were before, beacuse of the psu otherwise would suck air from -nowere-...
just testet the different parts of acrylic, and they are fitting nicely:D... only have to do some simple cuts to pull this off, and then some filling maybe.
i have a god feeling of this so is very excitet to get the alu bend so i can work on the rest... just fearing that the bends is gonna get of, and it wont fit in the end:/.. just have to be carefull then heh...
:pics: just before someone else do it
ill post the image sometime tomorrow or something:)
until then= g´night:D
okay this is what i have to work with:D... acrylic FTW
http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/6205/im004751vd2.jpg

http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/2218/im004759zd7.jpg

wuhuuu!... found a camera at the girl next door:P
update time!
how it looks at the time
http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/473/img0919ba5.jpg
psu got another mount plate in the upper right corner
http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/1585/img0920gf1.jpg
have to figure a way to lead the wires from the psu to hdd... thought of thoose silver bath hoses everyone uses since the looks awesome, but think they have been used to much so ill see if i can find something else
http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/5480/img0923td0.jpg
the pencil is there to illustrate how long it is going to be in the end
http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/796/img0926xd0.jpg
a little look at the rear... have to fix the whole in the psu somehow... thinking about mesh, but that might ruin the acrylic look?
http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/386/img0929gh8.jpg
intake to psu.. will look something like this i think
http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/7436/img0931sx3.jpg
old faithfull gforce 4 TI 4200 :p (and old not so faithfull camera in the back)
http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/1757/img0934zb6.jpg
how the rear looks... have to do something about the edges and so on... not quite satisfied with the vent as it looks now neither.
http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/7009/img0935rh5.jpg
pleeeenty of room inhere for something:D
http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/552/img0936ec3.jpg
raddy time! after some time of thinking and loads of more thinking of what to do with the spare room beside the mobo, and how to make the top, i thought of putting the rad in the front?... will have to make some fancy cover for it though... but shouldnt be a problem:D
(there should have been pics of the raddy on the front here but somehow i forgot to link to em lol)
after seing how it fittet i came up with the idea that a 3*120 mm rad actually might fit:twisted::twisted::twisted:
also the posibility to put it out of the way here but this pos wont fit a 3*120mm
http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/7506/img0947gq7.jpg
and for the frame: i have plans to make it look like brushed steel:D i love that look!... just hope to be able to make it look god:)
thats all for now:D
comments are very velcome:)... need feedback on the raddy and the mesh and whatever you might have to say:D
and thx to XcOM for the sig pic:) how do i make it link to this thread? heh
types in a worklog, host the pics, make the links, and the beacuse of some crappy ass nighbour mouse i push on a toolbar and its all gone!... "#!"!"¤
trying again
think im just gonna go for the standard psu then... my current Tt dual 120 rad though is able to handle all of my things in the other rig... thats a big cpu and 4 harddrives.
progress though.
got the rest of the holders in place, drilled the wholes and so on.
http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/3391/img0961pj1.jpg
the machine i use for bending
http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/6707/img0951it6.jpg
and the machine for cutting:D.. why bother with a saw when you can use a huge ass machine:D
http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/7577/img0952df2.jpg
AND I GOT THIS!!!
http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/5572/img0959jf7.jpg
have no idea of what to do of it though... now it some sort of power measuring thing but who gives a damn:D
this was were i thought of placing the rad... might do some renders when i get home... to give you a better idea of it:D
http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/926/img0944pl6.jpg
thats all for now:D...
stay tuned for the next episode of:O scrapheap challenge! lol
little progress... which result in the descition of redoing the hdd panel...
you see this wont do
http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/2192/img0962rg0.jpg
and it should have been as wide as the other one... so will have to redo this when i get home
http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/9276/img0964oa0.jpg
small update.
got the other hdd holder done, and used a lot of time sanding, wetsanding, more wetsanding and polishing:D
made theese little things
http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/9701/img0974zh8.jpg
wich is gonna be used for this
http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/6499/img0978ja8.jpg
and i got the mobo plate drilled, so now i just need to find som bolts that fits the purpose:D
http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/4390/img0980se7.jpg
ive only sanded to P800, and i can get a 1200, but what is the highest you can get?... as far as i heard 2000 and does it make sence to get higher or does polishing the rest of the job:D?
EDIT:
might just got a sponsor:D more info to come!:D

http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/14/radgrill2kh5.jpg
think i might go for something like this, dont know if im gonna put mesh inthere... might
comments?
i think this is kinda the bend angle i want
http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/6941/img0993pc5.jpg
its gonna be cut a little above where the lower 2 pieces of maskin tape is, and ill figure out a way to mount it to the rest of the body on... i thought of welding but this would be to visible, i might bolt it on or something...
more shots:
http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/6267/img0994yu8.jpg
http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/729/img0995eo5.jpg
guess thats it for now... sry for the loads of small updates, but i cant really do to much until i get the rad to measure on, and also have to figure a way to get the top pieces together... if i take the other acrylic case i have and use this, i have no problems what so ever, but im thinking of selling this on:D dont know... it might have to suffer a terrible accident or so... would save me loads of truble:twisted:
another 35$ just went into this "scrapheap" mod since ive decided to split my second acrylic case xD... (gonna sell the hardware though, 400W psu, 3 alu fans & cold cathode light)
this is the purpose:
this:

small update:)
mesh drilled and cut:
as air intake to the psu im counting on using a 140 mm fan.
gonna cut something of the sides of it so it could suck air in from the side where there is a little mesh . this is going to suck some air that comes out of it, but this should not have the biggest effect since there also is a intake on the top.
http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/6484/img0065be0.jpg
http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/8715/img0066hn0.jpg

http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/855/img0060tk4.jpg
mesh for the radiator... should i paint this black too?... dont know exactly how the fangrill for the radiator is gonna look... there is gonna sit another one on the alu top plate.
http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/9610/img0058xs4.jpg
also have to make some adjustments to this card reader... gonna mill in a pice of acrylic, so it fits exactly on.
http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/5814/img0055sl5.jpg
http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/7726/img0057cw5.jpg
thats all for now:) what do you think?
quick update -
got to the mill today and now is the break, so i thought i would post some WIP
im gonna make a cover plate for bottom and top side of the cardreader:
http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/5757/img0070tp7.jpg
is was close at breaking from time to time, but with a steady hand it worked:D
http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/4766/img0073sw9.jpg
http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/29/img0074yy5.jpg
thats all for now:D... might post some more at the end of the day and tell how it went:)
yeah... i was about to order some of that, but since i really dont have the money i just "borrowed" something that i found @ school:D
the finished milling result... will have to do some more about this... but you get the idea...
(sorry for blurry pics...)
http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/4835/img0076at9.jpg
and the other side... i might do something about the milling traces, sand it or something... might paint it on one side... still thinking.. any suggestions?
http://img61.imageshack.us/img61/7638/img0079jr8.jpg
it looks sooo cool under UV:D.. i have a m8 thats foto freak and hope to maybe give him the challenge to take a photoshoot of the thing when its done xD.. would be nice
comments?
thx alot for the advice and kind words:) this is how it ended:D
http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/6915/img0098fo8.jpg

http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/IM004907.jpg
i couldnt resist!.. a little teaser and need som help from you guys:D
masking tape... gonna be removed soon tatadaaaa
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/IM004908.jpg
blurry pic sry for that xD
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/IM004909.jpg
NOW!... should it look like this:
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/IM004911.jpg
or this:
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/IM004912.jpg
i think im gonna go for the brushed look and i might paint it black... will have to try this on some scrap piece.
also made my own home made round IDE cables because i was bored:D this is very easy to do and they work fine afterwords, just get a little knife and cut a tine whole between the wires and then just use force to seperate the rest from the rest of the big wire:D
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/IM004915.jpg
thats all i got for now:)... happy newyear and comments to everybody!
:banana:
ok... im just typing down what i know i need to complete this since i think it has stopped a bit:/
to do list:
get modular PSU
design top plate & get this lazercut
make hdd holder - the one i have now only supports 3, and if theese are to be watercooled it will only support 2 or suchs... so im gonna buy this:http://coolbits.dk/product_info.php?products_id=86
and then im gonna go for 2 harddrives in the system... and my onther 2 is gonna go in another mod (prime) i think:)
and that is actually what i need to do:)... so i guess ill order the drive cooler today and see if i can get a loop test up n´ running:D
thx for the +rep all:)
update about the raddy:D
finally got some spare time to play with the computer again
and cleaned my desktop:P
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/IM004946.jpg
at school i made this for fun and to see how the text would turn out, it was just a quick skecth but i like it
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/IM004959.jpg
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/IM004962.jpg
look how thich this plate is:D 10mm xD took a lot of time to mill
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/IM004963.jpg
for the raddy mount this was what i made first
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/IM004953.jpg
i then decided to just make 2 plates that would hold each end
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/IM004968.jpg
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/IM004969.jpg
no chance of the mobo suffering of air need:D
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/IM004972.jpg
from the rear
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/IM004974.jpg
again
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/IM004975.jpg
mounted with theese
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/IM004977.jpg
and this was a little idea i had, gonna think a bit more about that heh
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/IM004958.jpg
thats all for now, im wating on reply on how to get the missing parts and hopefully ill soon make enough money to buy em if i cant get something sponsored:D
until then:) have fun!
just playing with the design for the top, take a look:)
scanning the drawing in and making it a texture
http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/7136/unavngivetsi1.jpg
making splines above the text
http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/6083/unavngivet2vo1.jpg
correcting measures of splines
http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/8648/unavngivet3hz8.jpg
extruding the splines to get the text
http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/7799/unavngivet4xf0.jpg
applying text to a plate
http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/5013/unavngivet5wz4.jpg
the finished result with a glass plate on the back:
http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/8239/unavngivet6ry0.jpg
thats what i just got made:) im thinking of something in the middle under and above the text but didnt get that made today:) so now im going home:D
have fun lads^^
got the piece thats gonna hold the top and bottom together in each site done... or... i got it measured up and made a drawing:D
this is how its gonna look
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/holder.JPG
this should be made thirsday and then ill have to get on with making a holder for my harddrives, since i think im gonna order 2 of the danger den hdd blocks wich should fit in one of the compartments:D
finally got the parts done!... my group mate came 2 hours late so suddenly we had alot to do:/.. but i managed to make a little of my own once in a while:)
the results (no wip sorry... but guess you know the drill:P):
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00219.jpg
and this is how they are to be placed:
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00194.jpg
the wholes i countersunk
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00197.jpg
so it would look like this:banana:
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00210.jpg
you can really see the milling traces xD... looks kinda cool actually so i think ill keep it this way
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00211.jpg
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00214.jpg
and the fun part! tapping:bunny: dont know why but i love this part :smoker:
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00218.jpg
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00216.jpg
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00217.jpg
there is only one little problem, you would notice that on the first picture there is a gab between the bar and the plexi... this is why:
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00198.jpg
... have to countersink this mofo:).. but then everything should fit like a glove:D
and you may have noticed all the closeups:P... i "borrowed" my sisters cam and went mental... this was what came from that:
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00222.jpg
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00230.jpg
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00245.jpg
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00246.jpg
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00247.jpg
that was what i had to offer:banana::banana::banana:
comments are highly recommended or else the dog is gonna eat you!:alien:
the top:
http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/4050/casemodtoprm9.jpg
there is gonna be some quick updates until i get the rest of the stuff i need to get cut out drawn down:) and THEN! good stuff should happene:P

http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00269.jpg
the hoses to the harddrive compartment
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00270.jpg
and i put it all together after having cleaned and sanded the edges down on the alu pieces i made
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00272.jpg
that thing is rock solid:O
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00277.jpg
the large screws is gonna be replaced with some shorter ones:P... but i didnt have any other xD
and this sucks... i kinda knew it but choose to forget about it:/ have to do some dremel work here... the bit thing has to be clear of the plexi
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00279.jpg
and some perspective shots:)
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00281.jpg
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00283.jpg
and got a hold of theese 4 cobber pieces:D:D:D gonna use them for something... havent decided what yet:P
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00285.jpg
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00286.jpg
but there are many thing to do with such goddies:D
cu later:) hope you like:D
well.. anyway here is some tease pics and a question
do you know if i can plug my laing pump directly to a fancontroller? beacuse i would like to be able to adjust the speed of it since it is really noisy:O its just 12 volt as a normal fan so i would guess its posible... do you know, or should i buy a expensive pump controller (would prefer not xD)

how the waterblock is gonna sit
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00803.jpg
outtake from the harddrive compartment.. with just this one fan the drives gets about 32 celcious hot:O... guess its because there is nothing else to heat that compartment up:S
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00807.jpg
damn:/
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00808.jpg
yeah.... ram! ram! ramadingdong!

trying to boot with the mod in its rightfull place... the screen table is temporary till i get some extention cords:)
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00833.jpg
loads of faults:/... had to mess almost everything up just to get the bastard to boot lol!
it was not beacuse of the mobo and chipset change alone^^ it simply wouldnt let me install xp on any drives lol... seemed that the old xp install was fragged, so had to play a bit to get that thing to work so i could repair it and reinstall it... sounds just about as dumb as it was xD
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00834.jpg
drive testing... booooring

http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/P3300031.jpg
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/P3300033.jpg
it is the idea for this to bend the sides over the fan to completely hide it... but dont know if i will use the idea
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/P3300036.jpg
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/P3300038.jpg

http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00878.jpg
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00879.jpg
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00880.jpg
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00883.jpg
this is gonna be moved
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00885.jpg
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00886.jpg
DAMN this is nice looking!!!
the damn thing actually changed my temps on the gpu from 86 peak, to 50 peak load xDDD and that was with only 1/3 fans on the raddy startet lol
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00887.jpg
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00890.jpg
also used the grafic card that i won in modders challenge and used this to my second screen. now i could actually use 4 monitors... hmm.. where do i find the other 2 xDDD
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00891.jpg
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/DSC00892.jpg
the watercooling works perfectly! damn this shiz rocks:P the noise level is low and so is the temps xD love it... the loop just was a PITA to fill:/ but who cares xD... it works now heh...
have a nice weekend:D
thx man... forgot some pictures on the other camera... here they are!...
the gfx opperation lol... this is the thing that before easisly rised to 86c :O
so on with the gloves and you go doctor!
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/IM005001.jpg
looks like a whossy without the cooler xD... it was SOO light!
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/IM005002.jpg
dont know if you can see this but that is actually a fly xD... yeah it was quite dead i think/hope... dont know what they are thinking... also once saw one fly into one of my fans lol...
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/IM005006.jpg
ATI yeeeeee !!! we like!
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/IM005009.jpg
mhhh... looks gooooood
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/IM005011.jpg
the loop as i would have had it... thought is was a good idea atm:/
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/IM005013.jpg
it sucked bigtime.. and made an unbelieveble noise!
sooo... out whent the pump station... gonna use this in another mod so it isnt wasted:D
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/IM005015.jpg
when i sad with it there i came to think of that this actually was what i had based the mod on from the start:/... a compact pumpstation lol... it was so be said the HEART of the system and look at it:D with the vains, and blood coulor lol... i was kinda scared that i might just had killed my mod :S
"lol"
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/IM005016.jpg
oh oh:D and also found theese pictures:D the prize pack from thebestcasescenario modders challenge 4 xDDD soo much hardware... thx to tbcs crew that made that happen!
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap challenge mod/IM004999.jpg
enjoy :)
And then it was time! ive been waiting all day to make this update dou to the server being down! but here we go!!!!!!
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap%20challenge%20mod/DSC01050.jpg
The final parts has arrived! Better late than never xD
We will start of with something basic to avoid this:
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap%20challenge%20mod/DSC01092.jpg
The first filter I made was… erm… not that god. Glue was to visible but it was ugly.
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap%20challenge%20mod/DSC01067.jpg
And it didn’t fit all that god
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap%20challenge%20mod/DSC01068.jpg
So… back to the top!!!
This is the “evolution” for the tops.
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap%20challenge%20mod/DSC01066.jpg
The top 2 is the final I got. The right one had little lines in it to make it easier to bend, and it worked like a charm, so after that I went on to sanding
A long process… first grid 280, 800, 1200 and then final 2000
And came out with this
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap%20challenge%20mod/DSC01056.jpg
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap%20challenge%20mod/DSC01084.jpg
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap%20challenge%20mod/DSC01095.jpg
The filter for the top came out nicely!
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap%20challenge%20mod/DSC01055.jpg
And a little peek at the back! God no one will see this side:P beside.. erm.. all of you lol
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap%20challenge%20mod/DSC01063.jpg
The engraving
I made a comparison with the engraving before and after sanding, check it out!
Before
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap%20challenge%20mod/DSC01065.jpg
And after
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap%20challenge%20mod/DSC01064.jpg
And the whole mombo fitted on!
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap%20challenge%20mod/DSC01107.jpg
Still needs 3 small things. Drill the wholes for these
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap%20challenge%20mod/DSC01096.jpg
And make this fan for the hdd rack fit better and get that into place
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap%20challenge%20mod/DSC01093.jpg
http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap%20challenge%20mod/DSC01106.jpg
And make a proper on, off switch.. the one you see in the pics above wont do!
But that was that:D finally! After way to long time I declear the scrapheap challenge ALMOST complete. And damn it has taken its time…
But here comes the eye candy! Enjoy

http://tosed.dk/billeder/scrapheap%20challenge%20mod/DSC01102.jpg
And the whole thing in its rightfull place!
