Earth Defendor 3000

[Frenkie]

This is the worklog of my latest mod, loosely based on a flac gun, but with a heavy scienfiction theme draped all over it.
I hope a lot of Trekkies are watching with us, otherwise you might loose some of the treknobabble :)

Started doodling in Sketchup, also to determine some general measurements.
http://tinyurl.com/3gobnyl/Flac2.jpg

I tried to keep the base 13.7 x 13.7 inches, a rather standard size for PCs.
http://tinyurl.com/3gobnyl/Flac3.jpg

Set up the base from square chroom-teryon profile and two transwarp conduits.

It has a swivel possibility, for more accurate aiming of the isolinear tracking system...:P

Yep, you lost me with the trekkie stuff, but the frame looks great. As I have never welded anything, can you file down the welding joint so it isn't so unattractive?

Right-o. The welds are still untouched, I need to be sure my construction holds up to what I have in my head. If I need to re-allign the module phase inductors, I rather do that before I spend a lot of time on finishing the welds. :alien:

The Captain obviously approves!!!

Looking forward to another great mod Frenkie!

Make it so.....

Oh you guys ! :cray:


This showes a tritanium subframe on top of it, and two very heavy terminium cilinders on the bottom.

Mounted two very cool looking psilosynine actuators.

This is a nitrium subspace inhibitor-filter, spraypainted black for better heat-conduit.
http://tinyurl.com/3gobnyl/EarthDefendor_003.jpg

Here it is mounted and it also shows a little bit of the PC front.

Started mounting the neccesary secondary transducer cables...

And the white and blue resonating polarization hoses...

The first transversale fluxbeam lasergenerator....

and the other three to stabilise the multibeaming subspace alpha-wave....

Uhm, I'd be kinda cautions about pointing lasers in the sky....
Might be illegal.

[Fuganater]

OMG that laser is uber bright.

[Frenkie]

Uhm, I'd be kinda cautions about pointing lasers in the sky....
Might be illegal.

I heard about some arrest when punks were pointing it at overflying airplanes. I am quite cautious with the laser, but hey, who says I didnt photoshop that green 5 mW laser from Dealextreme into this picture ? :P

[AmEv]

You did :P

[Frenkie]

Hey, look what dropped in; a Gigabyte H55N-USB3 motherboard.
Thanks to my friends at Gigabyte, thanks Bernice !

Found this nice subframe made for one of my older mods.
http://tinyurl.com/3gobnyl/EarthDefendor_025.jpg

Strong, light, durable and room enough for this motherboard.
http://tinyurl.com/3gobnyl/EarthDefendor_026.jpg

I use these "laagbolkop inbus" screws. (something something allen head)

This mobo will fit anything between a Intel Core i3 540, up to a Intel Core i7 975 Extreme Edition. :)
This Coolermaster Vortex Plus fits perfectly to it!
Thanks Marco!

Because the flux generators will cumulate a massive amount of excess heat, I have mounted this Zalman Reserator cooling tower.

Just in case the automatic targeting computer would fail, I should be able to fall back on manual targetting, thats why I mounted these two Zalman manual target controls, left and right.

You need to attach a smoke machine to that thing, so you can see the lasers better!
