Amazing work renderman. I've been drooling over both your projects for the last couple of days. I finally decided to join the forums and post my praise. Case modding has been something thats interested me since I first heard of it. My only wish is that I had the tools and workshop space to do something as amazing as what you've done here. Keep up the good work, cant wait to see the turbine and motorized madness finally united and completed.
+rep for amazing creativity and attention to detail.
thanks for everyone's words of encouragment! I'm just letting everyone know that Its completed and up and running. I'm working on it as I type this. I still have to take some final pics of everthing but here are a few "teaser images" untill I get the final pics and video done.
Here it is all assembled with the flash on. I still have to glue the "Motorized Madness" logo on the side because I have to paint the back side black otherwise the light shows through and looks bad. You can also see the how I scratched the paint off the inside of the turbine tube sliding the resevoir in and out. -Very tight fit! so I will have to do some touchups there.
Up and running with the lights on. -you will notice at the bottom of the turbine it appears that the led lights are only on in the front. well they are and thats because I changed out my static solid on led's to 2 led light tubes that are set to motion so it looks like things are happening inside. You will see this effect in the video.
And to treat myself for finishing it, and because my current desk was too small for the case to sit on, here is a shot of my new computer desk!
Hope this teaser gets your mouths watering...
Congrats Rendermandan! I enjoyed watching both projects start and the steady progress through. They are incredible. +rep
Oh, and nice desk too. Any mods planned for that?
Yeah congrats buddy. I was intrigued when I saw your turbine mod and finally seeing this come together is just fantastic. +rep when we get some more pics ;)
Yep, already added some under cabinet xenon puk lights with a 3 way dimmer. although i want to add some blue leds or something somewhere, just not sure what yet.Quote:

This mod is amazing!Every comment is sufficient!
Congratulation!
Congrats on finishing this superb project Renderman! Top notch work!
I guess I'm the one that has to be the bearer of bad news. But that mod is so cool and unique that it looks terrible with that desk...You should paint that to match.
+Definite rep for the amazing finish.

Wow dude, what can I say. Very creative, very original, very detailed, very custom built, very colorful, very very cool lighting, very interested in seeing those vids!!! Fantastic work Dan, you make us proud! Let me know when it's finished.
Agreed.. You need to distress that beautiful new desk so it goes better with the case! :DQuote:

Um, yeah, even though i agree with you, my wife would not be very happy with me for painting a brand new desk like that. And I like to keep my wife happy, if you know what I mean... :)Quote:

*crosses fingers*
very nice desks....i have the same exact ones
great finish to the mod!
Ladies and Gentleman, Boys and girls, and of course, Modders of all ages, After 7 1/2 months, Countless hours, and alot of money later, I give you Motorized Madness
And now, the long awaited videos:
I realize the video and lighting quality is not that good. I'll try to replace the videos when I get some better ones done.
I hope everyone likes what I have created here. I know I had a great time working on this project and I wanted to send a personal thanks out to everyone for all their words of encouragement, praise, suggestions and patience while I finished this case. Check Avon Brochure and Builders Warehouse Specials.
Thank you all!
Dan
