Theory | By Hannes



Creativity is neither a strategy nor a form of sublimation to deal with madness. Madness is merely creativity thwarted by society, a label created by society in order to imprison its visionaries.


A brief introduction, an epilogue to the next air-cooled construction. Theory | By Hannes will be clearly inspired by Carl Axel Olsson's work. He is a person who meant a lot for my creative develpoment and by that also had ā great impact on the person I am today. I will show off some of his works and then also use them in my design of the construction process. I will include much of his style in this building as a tribute to a great mentor.

The case itself, I will not do much with the outside, Lian Li has just about exact perfection in this chassis, but a lot will be done on the inside. Firstly, I'll powder-coat the inside black. I will be working a lot of revising their designs to something more clean, and then implement the art that I and many others Swedish "västeråsare" grown up with.

I have some problems with the color scheme of this building and because of that I will not talk much about it yet, but if you have any creative suggestions and I'll be more than happy to hear from you, and reflect a bit about them. My problem is so far that you can't get the sleeves in the color I want to use with this chassis. Sleeve is something that I've seen as a must so far in all my builds, maybe it's time to look for other methods. Or maybe someone *cough* Nils *cough* have some insight on new colored sleeves.

Traditionally, the enthusiast building always either incredibly impressive with cut-out details or elaborate engravings, or they are classy and almost minimalist with an incredible balance between what is necessary and what is "just for show" with millimeter performance and execution. I will not go away quite as far from it as I've done with the Echo, it is enough with the love-hate relationship between it and me to last a lifetime. No, I will keep the building clean, but also include the influences that I think is needed in computer-building: Sculptures. Sculpting the chassis is something I wanted to wait for until my Singularity build, which will be in an V1010 or V2010, but it's something I think I can implement in this construction aswell, by the inspiration of Carl Axel Olsson's art.

Grandpa, this is for you.

There's some ways you can assemble it. :-) I think I like the #6 best.

Here's some ideas of a SSD mount I have. Ignore the brand. It'll be Corsair. ^^,

It would seem like I'm almost finished, but really, I'm not. I'm about half way through on this build which I began in 2010. Please stay tuned for more updates!

Words fail me........ :eek:

I love the cooler, looks like it should come that way if they want to call it a V8.

Thanks guys! I feel welcomed alright. :-) Corsair has sent me a little present, a big update is due.

I totally agree, tho it's my center piece and I don't wish that anyone else dare to do it, even tho it's really an easy mod. :-P

I have seen plenty of cooler mods to bend heat pipes to make great passive coolers sitting the path of airflow. However not one has looks amazing as this.

It really is as is the rest of your build a sculpture, a piece of art.

Can not wait to the SSDs mounted.

I haven't seen a lot myself actually, but there should be some around. I'm really flattered Stonerboy, I appreciate it.

Your welcome here is hoping the next part of the build goes quicker than the first.

Oh and you will mostly see the modded coolers on SPCR where people aim entirely for silent builds. A few builds have bent heat pipes on low profile coolers, to stand then in front of rear exhausts then use ducting so that all the case air has to leave through the CPU cooler. Keeps the CPU cool and drops case noise greatly by not having a fan sitting directly on the cooler.

I hope so too! There's some things that will be remade or done in different style. So there's alot to be seen. I hope the build will be completed in april.

I'll check that out, maybe you could PM me the adress or something?
