1 Pair of Rubber Gloves
1 Dust Mask
30pcs of tack cloth

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/20%20November/DSC09134.jpgheres the case to be modded.

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/20%20November/DSC09144.jpg
this is a server cube i got for free, dam this thing is heavy as it is large, whole thins is constructed out of 2mm thick steel. Look at the comparison between the case and the spray can.

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/20%20November/DSC09145.jpgbt it has a lot of metal i can use.

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/20%20November/DSC09168.jpgits an old server from a printing company.

the case needs to be striped down first so after 160(i counted) rivets drilled out
we have a pile of junk metal on one side, a clean chassis on the other.
http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/20%20November/DSC09168.jpg
http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/20%20November/DSC09161.jpg

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/20%20November/DSC09169.jpg
theres lots more metal but it couldn't fit the box ....

while de-riverting the case a drill bit broke, snaped actually, with half the drill bit still in the rivet...

then cutting a big hole in the mobo tray for cable management....
http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/20%20November/DSC09241.jpg
then disaster struck when i was half way through.. the cutting disc i was using on my angle grinder shattered, spitting the broken pieces at mach1 all over the place... luckily i wasn't hit :sweat: :sweat: B]
http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/20%20November/DSC09239.jpg
but when i thought it couldn't get worse the angle grinder got jammed and i couldn't remove the center part of the broken blade... so no more cutting for me for now... maybe ill just get a dremel...

but in the end i manged to get it cut anyway....
http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/20%20November/DSC09242.jpg

after some sawing and filling we have this

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/20%20November/DSC09244.jpg
the radiator mounting plate.. i know it is not straight :w bt it fits and no one is going to see it anyway once I'm done....

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/20%20November/DSC09246.jpg
here we go testing with two fans... perfect fit.. :hyper: :hyper: :idea: :idea:

02-02-2007, 12:59 AM

k as u saw in the first thread.... i had a swiftech mcres-miro with me... n was deciding where to mount it...i decided to mount it near the pci slots... as this case is inverted it is also the highest int in the loop(well almost) coz the rad is bout 2 mm taller....bt if i wanted to mount it there i would need to fabricate the mounting bracket...so here goes....
http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/22%20november/DSC09283.jpg
heres the reservoir, to me its the best ever design.... user friendly n good erformance with low pressure drop...
http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/22%20november/DSC09284.jpg
thats where i plan to mount it...

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/22%20november/DSC09285.jpg
here i manage to get a aluminum l bar which will donate bout 5 inches of it self for my bracket.

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/22%20november/DSC09286.jpg
:stars: back to using hand tools, after my episode with exploding cutting discs, i went back to using hand tools... :flex: ...

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/22%20november/DSC09287.jpg
here it is cut, ready to be taped off and drilled...

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/22%20november/Image472.jpg
the ever useful making tape

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/22%20november/Image473.jpg
all taped in it temporary clothes..

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/22%20november/Image475.jpg
drilling, i went slow this time as allu is so soft no broken drill bits this time...

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/22%20november/Image478.jpg
drilled and fillled

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/22%20november/Image480.jpg
test fit and voila, it fits perfectly...

lolhalol

02-02-2007, 01:00 AM

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/22%20november/Image482.jpg
here i scuffed the suface so that paint could adhere to the surface... painted it 3 times before i realised
alu cant be painted on...without prep work....neway i scuffed it with a sanding bit with the drill

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/22%20november/DSC09289.jpg
painted.....

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/22%20november/Image490.jpg

then leave it out to dry....

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/22%20november/DSC09293.jpg

preety good fit imo... all perfect, as u can see the case will lok like a lianli a10 or a p180 depending on wat u wanna call it, also there will be a back panel as welll.

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/28%20January/DSC09342.jpg
here the sound dampening thingi is getting in the way, but no worries, it wil be taken care of.

thats all this time, sorry for such short update... waiting fo rmy fame stencils to be cut by my friend, using a advertise ment cutter, for precision... anyway i purchased a dremel and will be arriving by tuesday....

updates...ok since there have been numerues requests for beter quality pictures, i have decided to ditch my usual camera for my sony cybershot.

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/30%20jANUARY%202007/DSC08743.jpg
ok here you see the case as it was the last time i updated.

first thing i need to do is to remove that sound dampening thing from the top panel.
http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/30%20jANUARY%202007/DSC08747.jpg
removed.

i definately don't wanna work with double sided tpe again i tell you,.. takes a long time to gt the residue off...
http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/30%20jANUARY%202007/DSC08749.jpg slowly removing the tape.

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/30%20jANUARY%202007/DSC08748.jpg
most of it off

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/30%20jANUARY%202007/DSC08751.jpg
removing all the rivets from the case ... taking it apart so it will be easier to paint and measure the panels.

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/30%20jANUARY%202007/DSC08759.jpg
drilled the holes on the panel. its very very hard to get the holes perfectly right. dam drill bit was jumping a lot due to the bent panel.

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/lolhalol/20%20November/DSC09129.jpg
first i went to my local hardware store to get some supplies bout 25$USD worth.
Heres a list:-
11 cans or Spray Paint (Nippon brand)-3 Tangerine,2 Flat black, 3 Gloss black, 3 Clear Coats
4 Rolls of 1 1/2" Masking tape/Painters tape
6 Rolls of 1/4" masking tape /painters tape
1 Roll of 1 1/2" Double sided tape(thick)
1 Roll of 1/4" Double sided tape(thin)
100pcs of 1/2" x 1/2" Pop Rivets
1 Hand Riverter
1 Hacksaw blade
1 800 Grit wet/dry sandpaper
1 1500 grit wet/dry sandpaper
1 1/2L Paint Remover
1 Pair of Rubber Gloves
1 Dust Mask
30pcs of tack cloth

seriously? $25 USD in the Uk that would cost roughly £60 or bout $110 the paint alone would be £5 a can

lolhalol

04-18-2007, 04:42 AM
