Project: [Storm] - 120508 - Pt.1

http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/jdbnsn/worklogbanners/storm.png

After a long time of being not so active in this forum i want to share our newest project with you, up to now we call it STORM.

We started a few days ago with this unspectacular big tower case (its not spectacular, but it has a removeable mainboard tray) which we got from ebay

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm1.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm2.jpg

Because its huge like a stacker we decided to build in some kickass hardware (we didn´t decide which hardware exactly up to now) with a big watercooling loop, 2 or 3 radiators (3x120 + 2x120 + maybe another 3x120) and 2 optical drives.

So at first we stripped the case down to its raw body to see how everything would fit and in which way we are gonna make the one or other thing....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm3.jpg

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm4.jpg
then we made 2 small mounting brackets out of some alloy stripes which we use to mount the radiator on the bottom of the frame. This was necessary to prevent the radiator from falling down on the next image :D and it prevents that the radiator could be shaked out of its position when moving the case.....
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm5.jpg

as next we bend some alloy stripes into the right angles so that we could mount the 2 optical drives with them on the outside of the case....
beside that we also bended some of those stripes to hold another radiator in front of the case, then we painted everything inside white except the radiators they get a fresh black paintjob...
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm6.jpg
The Top of the case also gets a first cutout

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm8.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm9.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm10.jpg

one of the last things we could do up to now was to build a first water reservoir which will be attached directly to the pump to prevent it from sucking air....and to make the filling process a little bit easier....

thanks a lot jdbnsn!!

today we cut the sidepanels....first we cut the complete panel in 2 pieces

Then the both upper parts got their cutouts and holes so that we can mount a 2x120 mm radiator on each sidepanel. One of the sidepanels additionaly gets a few more cutouts which will be used as small windows....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm15.jpg

beside the cutouts we also cut out some acrylic parts in shape of the small windows which will be placed on the other sidepanel....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm20.jpg


For the inside we prepared a first cover which will be placed in the front part of the case, it will cover the pump, the small water reservoir and nearly all cables which will be needed for hdds and opt. drives....(atm its not fixed in its position that will follow later)

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm17.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm18.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm24.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm25.jpg


As last step we prepared a frame of alloy stripes which is screwed to the radiator on the front of the case

[thechoozen]

thanks a lot!!! it´s always nice to hear when others like your own work:D

today we build another radgrill for the radiator which will be placed on top of the case (another 2x120mm), after that we painted both in a plain black so that they will bring in some contrast to the white.

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm27.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm34.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm35.jpg


For the inside we build another acrylic cover which will be placed on the floor of the top part. Then we drilled a lot of holes in it to guarantee that the PSU can pull air through it.

[thechoozen]

thanks a lot !!!!


in the last few days we could´t work much on this project because of the marriage of my brother (he is working with me on this project)
but yesterday we made a little progress so here it is :D

at first we cut some Plexi Pipes (100mm + 60 mm diameter) so that we can use them for the real water resevoir which we will put in the lower part of the case, beside that we also made a top and bottom for it

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm38.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm41.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm42.jpg


then we made a side part for the inner cover

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm40.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm43.jpg

we also made 2 covers for the DVD Drives which we will mount later

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm37.jpg

[thechoozen]

thanks a lot !!!


in the last days we made some progress.....

first we made the last radiator / Fan Grill which we will use later, after building them, we put them in place to see if they fit in the way we want....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm44.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm45.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm46.jpg

then we cut a small plexi stripe and drilled in 20 holes for LED´s, later we build more of them....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm47.jpg

after that we cut out the first part of the water reservoir stand, i think tomorrow we cut the second one....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm48.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm49.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm50.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm51.jpg

as last we prepared a part of the outer skin of the mod....therefore we cutted 32 plexirods in 25cm length so that we can use them later.....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm52.jpg

[thechoozen]

thanks a lot !!!:up::D

@ CT it´s like Froop already posted, we is me and my brother, we do a lot of stuff together :D

@ Froop danke schön :D

today we made some further progress, at first we made the 2nd holder for the water reservoir and put it in place for a quick test....
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm53.jpg


after that we made a plexi circle which will surround the fillport of the rez...

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm57.jpg

then we also made the first parts of the case feets...

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm60.jpg

after that we started to build the upper part of the front, therefore we cuttet a thin piece of wood in its raw shape and then we put a thick layer of building foam on it.......after everything dryed out we begin to give it a better shape...but it´s only the base for everything what will come later on.....
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm54.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm55.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm56.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm58.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm59.jpg

[thechoozen]

thanks a lot!!! :D

in the last days we put on the first layer of bondo

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm63.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm64.jpg

then we drilled all holes in the water reservoir and make them perfect for use with G1/4" waterplugs

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm61.jpg

and we decided where we´re going to mount the SD Card Reader....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm62.jpg

[thechoozen]

thanks a lot!!!

today we just build a few water reservoirs...

a good friends was in need of a new reservoir, because his old was cracked in the middle and he couldn´t use it anymore....
so we built him a new one out of some plexi pipe.....beside the rez for our friend....we also prepared a few for us and finished the first one
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/agb1.jpg

[thechoozen]

hanks a lot!! :D:thumb::rock:

yesterday we have started to cut out the lower sidepanels so that they fit on the frame without getting in touch with the optical drives....
so we made a fast sketch of the cutout....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm65.jpg


.... and then started to cut it out

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm66.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm67.jpg

after that we started to finish the main reservoir, therefore we drilled some big holes with the same dia the inner pipe has and put everything in place so that we can glue it together step by step....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm68.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm69.jpg

[thechoozen]

Thank you guys!

today we used the pre cutted wood parts and build a small framework out of it....it will be placed under the case so that the radiator on the bottom can catch enough fresh air....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm70.jpg

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm71.jpg


beside that we glued the water reservoir together and made a small test if everything stays dry :D:thumb:

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm72.jpg

[thechoozen]

thanks a lot guys!!! :D

In the last couple of days we´re working on the PSU....after we test installed it, we wasn´t happy to see that there is not much room between the water reservoir and the PSU....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm73.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm74.jpg

so we thought why not put the PSU half outside of the case half inside....
therefore we made a bigger Cutout then the Standard PSU Cutout...so that the PSU can now be moved through the hole .....

after that we needed a new mounting for our PSU, so we did a little bit recycling and reused the parts we cutted out from the side panels. We cutted them in shape and bend some 90° Angles out of it....they are screwed to the mainframe of the case....
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm76.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm75.jpg

then we bended some alloy stripes in a U-Shape so that we can attach them to the PSU and the 90° angles we already attached to the cage.....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm77.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm78.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm73.jpg

as next we´re going to finish the new PSU mounting and then we want to start the building process of the opening mechanism for the lower sidepanels.....

[thechoozen]

thank you m8´s!!!!:D:D

today we integrate another power plug and a On/Off Switch in the backside of the case.....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm80.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm81.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm83.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm84.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm85.jpg

after that we cutted the first 3 parts of the sidepanel mechanism....
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm82.jpg

i think tomorrow we´re going to concentrate on the opening/closing mechanism so that we can show you how this will work....:)

[thechoozen]

thanks a lot!!!

like i promised we started the building process of the sidepanel opening mechanism.....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm86.jpg

then we attached the first parts to the case...

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm87.jpg

...just to see where we have to make the next cuts....so that the sidepanel can be opened completely

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm88.jpg

[thechoozen]

thanks a lot guys!!!

in the last days we were busy on planning another gimmick we want to place inside the front.....

therefore we made a rectangle hole inside the backside of the front....inside the hole we want to mount a small webcam....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm89.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm90.jpg


then we quick draw on the otherside....
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm91.jpg

and put on a bit more bondo....
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm92.jpg


and we cutted the raw video material we shooted up to now....so here are the first 2 parts of the video worklog....:clap::clap:

[thechoozen]

thank you all!:D

in the last days we made some progress on the Holder for the Water Reservoir...

at first we bended the 2 Plexi Holders for the rez into a 90° angle

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm95.jpg

then we drill out some plexi circles....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm93.jpg
and cutted them into 2 halfs
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm94.jpg
.......at least we drilled 3 holes in all of them......then we put 3 plexi rods through the half circles so that we got an element which will be placed between the bended Plexi Holders for the rez....
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm96.jpg

[DonT-FeaR]

looking cool that think is nice

[The boy 4rm oz]

Nice res holders, looking great.

[thechoozen]

thanks a lot guys!!!

a small update:

yesterday we finished the rez holder....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm99.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm100.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm102.jpg

then we made a test run with the first side panel.....as next we will stabilize the whole movement with the rest of the mechanism....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm97.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm98.jpg

[jdbnsn]

your header is in place. Let me know if the title needs changed.

[thechoozen]

Thank you very much jdbnsn!!!! i really like it and i don´t think that changes were needed (i think the title will stay)....:D:D:D

in the last couple of days i did a little bit of engraving...not for this project....but its also nice....:D

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/ehgravur.jpg

on this project we also did some progress....

we add the next pieces to the front...this time we covered the optical drives so that they will be integrated in the final front....
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm103.jpg

then we cutted out the next parts which will be used to finish the lower part of the front....
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm108.jpg

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm109.jpg

then we also glued the pre cutted plexi rods together, sanded and polished both pieces ...they will later be used on the outer body of this mod

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm106.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm107.jpg

then we cut out the marked square in the upper part of the front....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm104.jpg

inside this hole we will place a webcam which will film the inside of an plexisheet which will cover the complete hole....
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm105.jpg

This complete thing will be used as a next gen Input device....you can find more informations about it here (http://ssandler.wordpress.com/mtmini/)

and i have shot a small desktop video of the first test run so that you can see it actually works....(and i really have not done the fine tuning....:D)

[thechoozen]

thanks a lot guys!!!


we have done some progress in the last days.....:banana::D:D

we put the lower part of the front in place and fixed it in its position with some tape....so we can see where we have to file a little bit so that everything gets smooth at the end.....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm110.jpg

beside that we cutted out some triangles which will be used to mount the plexirod sheets on.....
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm111.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm112.jpg
than we put the next part of the opening mechanism for the second lower sidepanel in place.....
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm113.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm114.jpg

[thechoozen]

thanks!

in the last days we spent a lot of time in planning the electrial part for the opening mechanism, but beside that we made the first LED Module for the rez....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm115.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm119.jpg


then we cropped the small triangles on the sidepanels so that we match the shape of the front.....then we put the plexi-rod-sheet testwise in place to see if they fit ....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm117.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm118.jpg

we also finished the raw structure of the front part .....later when everything is dry....we can sand it in the right shape....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm120.jpg
beside that we started a new casemod....this time a lancool metal boned k7.....it gets a nice engraving.....here is the first part of it .....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm116.jpg

[thechoozen]

thanks a lot guys!!!

And i have some good news!! We have a plattform! a big THANK YOU to Thomas @ Abit which sends us this cutie!!!

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm126.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm127.jpg


beside that we spent nearly 16 hours on engraving the sidepanel for the lancool mod....(Work is still in progress)
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm121.jpg

and we did some progress on the front.....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm122.jpg


like the claps which covers the DVD Drives....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm128.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm129.jpg

[The boy 4rm oz]

This is looking really good. I love the engraving for the Lancool mod.

[Eclecticos]

Extremely interesting front panel design.
That etching is badass! +Rep

[thechoozen]

thanks a lot guys!!!


@The boy 4rm oz yeah i really love this theme too.... i think it will look great when its finished....

in the last 2 days we were busy with sanding/bondo/sanding/painting/sanding/painting the front part...so that it will be finished soon.....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm130.jpg

beside that we put the next LED elements testwise in place to see if they are going to disturb us in any way....but they didn´t do...so they can stay....


http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm131.jpg



then we screwed the first servo to the backplate to finger out how we will connect the servo to the sidepanel holding arms....


http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm132.jpg

[The boy 4rm oz]

Awesome. I can't wait to see it all moving together.

[thechoozen]

@the Boy 4rm oz me too!!!!!

yesterday + today we did some progress on the outside of the case....therefore we prepared some polystyrene stripes which will cover the outside of the case.......

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm133.jpg

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm140.jpg

[thechoozen]

thanks!! :up:

in the last days we started to build a CPU Cooler....therefore we took 3 copper plates (from old cpu coolers) which we overworked....the first plate was prepared to hold the water plugs....the second plate only gets a cutout so that it can be placed in the middle....and the 3rd plate was milled with a grid where the water should flow through.....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm152.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm134.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm143.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm153.jpg

then we cut out some heat pipes out of an old coolermaster hyper 6 cooler which we will integrate into our cpu cooler...

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm141.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm142.jpg

beside that we spent some time on the outer parts....therefor we cutout a lot plastic parts, which we use to build the covers for the radiators and fans....
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm145.jpg

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm150.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm151.jpg

[thechoozen]

thanks a lot!!!!!:thumb::D

yesterday we had to overwork the cover for the upper sidepanel, because it hadn´t the right measurements....so we rebuild a slim version and changed the design for the faceplates.....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm157.jpg

then we also integrate the hole for the water reservoir
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm154.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm155.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm158.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm159.jpg

and made some progress on the CPU Cooler

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm156.jpg


hopefully the cooler will be done today.....

[thechoozen]

:thumb::Dthanks a lot !!!!:clap::clap::clap:


today we made some progress on the cooler...it´s nearly finished now....i think tomorrow we´re going for a first test run with a QX6700 to see how it performs...

after we attached the last copper plate we sanded the complete copper part and then we connected the heatpipes to it.....
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm160.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm162.jpg

after that we made a first test run with water to see if there are no leaks....needless to say that everything is fine and dry :D:thumb:
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm163.jpg
i just weighed the cooler and it weighs 439 gramms with the heatpipes but without water...

[thechoozen]

soo today we made the first test run with a cpu under our cooler.....:rock:

and it was a good run:jawdrop::D:thumb:

first we tested how hot our cpu (intel qx6700) gets with our old cooler....after a few hours of vista + surfing the net we got a temps around 38-39°....room temp around 27°...then we played 1 hour race driver grid to warm it up....after that we got temps around 47-48°....

then we shut down everything and switched the cooler for our new one.....then we wait a little bit to give the water the chance to cool down...after the cooldown phase we power up the system ....then we checked the temps...30-31°...but the room temp has also gone done to 25°....so we run another hour of race driver grid and made the last temp check.....36-37°........i think for a first run it´s a really good result!!!:rock:

[thechoozen]

thanks a lot!!!!

in the last days we wasn´t inactive....we made a lot of smaller changes and prepared the last covers for the other side of the case.....beside that we made a test run with the watercooling loop and all radiators to see if we can use this system with only 1 waterpump....and good news: it works really good...better than we thought....:D

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm164.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm168.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm169.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm170.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm171.jpg

beside that we got 2 new cases which we will mod for the Games Convention in Leipzig at the End of August.....

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm165.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm166.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm167.jpg

with a bit of luck we can put all parts from the outside together by tomorrow....and then it should go really fast to finish it....:D

[thechoozen]

thanks !!!

@The boy 4rm oz yeah it really has a window on both sides of the case.....

today we put all parts together for the first time....it´s not finished but now we´re ready to carve out all the details :D

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm172.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm173.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm174.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm175.jpg
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm177.jpg

and that will be the card reader we want to integrate somewhere near the front together with some USB and Firewire Ports....
http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm176.jpg

[thechoozen]

thank you!!!


today we move in the mainboard for the first time to see how it fits in and to get a preview of the final result.....the cables and tubes will be rerouted in the next days.....:D

http://www.babetech.de/images/storm/storm178.jpg

[thechoozen]

good news & bad news....they always come together:D

after a few hours of pain @ my dentist we received the bad news.....still no package with a graphic card arrives.....:wallbash:
but then the good news ...today we got a short mail announcing which parts will arrive in the next days....so we´re going to change the Motherboard for an MSI P7N Platinum and we will get a pair of N260GTX which will also move in....:D:D:D:rock:

but beside that we didn´t have enough time to do more on this project....that will change in the next week because in 2 weeks we will exhibit it at the Games Convention Casemod Masters which will be held within the Games Convention in Leipzig....

We didn´t have more time because we have to finish a lot of stuff until the Games Convention starts.....like those 2 Rasurbo Cases which i showed you earlier....but we´re on a good way to finish everything in time :D

Oh another small update with the gfx cards....we tested them only a short time up to now but we could could stable run them on 720/1150 Mhz (620/1080 Mhz Stock ) we did a few benchmark runs without any problems .....fan on full power and the card did not reach the 60° ....the only limitation we found is our QX6700
