Awesome work! I love the Wood Case with the copper and brass!
those copper brackets are the shiz man nice work... front looks heaps good
Progress!! I got the hard drive enclosures mounted! I wasn't sure how I was going to do it, but I ended up using brass inserts and just bolting them to the side of the case, four bolts each. They're not going anywhere.
I drilled four holes just inside the interior, all the way through the back piece.
The fit inside is very tight by design, so I had to drill countersink holes for the heads of the screws I was using. Thankfully the housings were thick enough to let me do it.
And presto, bolted on, countersunk, and in place! I was right, those things are sexy. :D
I also managed to get the hole cut for my front intake fan. I'm using a Thermaltake Silent Cat, and they have an odd profile so I was worried, but it came out perfectly. I stuck the front fan grill sprocket up with tape just to see how it was going to look.
Not too bad. I am also pleased (and relieved) to report that have finally been able to manage the finish I wanted! I'll be using it on a lot of internal parts, including the optical drives, the motherboard tray, the PSU, and all three fans. More news as that happens.
That's it for the week here, back to work tomorrow night. <gag>
The drive enclosures look right at home on the side of the case. Very cool fan grill ;).
yea i love those racks.. looks killer
I'm loving this mod. Beautiful woodwork, copper piping, moving geartrain. :bowdown: + rep/sub Can't wait to see how this turns out!
I recently bought a pair of HD 4670 video cards, and while I love them the stock fans are LOUD. I've been looking for an affordable cooling solution that would go well with this mod and had no luck at all. Until tonight. Look at this....
Wow. This thing is huge, and ugly, and absolutely perfect for this build! And $20 shipped. I ordered one tonight, we'll see how it fits when it gets here. If it works as well as I hope I'll get another. :) I may have to figure a way to rig a belt or a chain around one end of the fan...
Looking awesome Blue! I love the copper tubing!
The video cooler will definitely give it an interesting look, but I am not sure if squirrel cage fans are any quieter. Looking forward to seeing the result!
wtf is that thing....
DO NOT WANT lol
nah its... interesting
@ OvRiDe - Thanks very much. More to come in the next couple of days, I'm finishing up my last worknight now. :)
@ DonT-FeaR - Yeah, I know. It would take a very special kind of case for that thing to look good in. But I just happen to have one. :D
