The funny part

Here’s my bulgin, it should light orange when I plug the power.

I can’t wait to get power on this to ;)

And the cabels.

Connectors.

Don't know what to call them, but you plug them on the end of the cable, so they are ready for molex, ehe. Now I have 240, you always need them ^^

Some orange sleeving, thought I ordered way more, but lets see.

Some orange neon paint ;)

Update 11 – The front part 1 @ Sunday the 11th March 2007.

For word.
Yes sir, now the front’s almost done! I really love it, and I think that it’ll look amazing with black brushed alu! Lets take a look.

The funny part

The alu sheet.

And the plexi sheet.

They fit very good.

I got to separate my LCD to find the dimensions.

After some milling.

And then back to the mill again. The biggest job for the front is waiting.

PERFEKT!!!!!

Some closeups

And when it’s on the case.

Then the last holes. One for the bulgin button, and two for the tubbing which I want to go outside the case ;)

… ;)

A closeup.

And the last picture. It look very good.


Comments are very welcome!

Cya!

Update 12 – The front part 2 @ Thursday the 15th Mach 2007.

Into
Allright, to day i finished up the front.
Btw. All the screws you’ll see is only for now, I’m going to order some black M4 umbraco screws!
Lets do it.

The funny part

Allright, here’s the front I’m going to play with.

It look horrible with the grey metal underneath there.

Cut the big square out, and time for the dremmel.

That’s a lot better!

And from the inside, I’ll make a cover later ;)

Those crappy rivets is just were I want to plant my plaxi.

So why not make some 7mm holes ;)

Now, that was better.

And then some sanding.

And paintet absolutely awesome

I just love the orange and black!

I need to glue the two parts together, so I marked up where the LCD screen is.

Lets glue.

Ready to join.

Then some pressure to make contact all over!

And now! Good!

Mhh, that’s nice.

All right, lets drill some holes for the mounting.

And also for the fan.

Damn, I ran into this little problem. The nut wont fit in there, so I have to do some dremling later.

Nice – right?

And from the inside, after I putted on the glue, I’m 100% sure that I’ll make a cover plate..

See you soon ;)

Update13 – Plate work part 1 @ Monday the 18th March 2007.

Intro.
Well. I changede the plans again, and now I found a great way to do it!
I hope to finish the last big plate, and put in some plexi in the window.

The funny part

I cut the top and bended it so the sidepanels will fit under.

And it fit ;)

Lets go to my lovely mill.

Done :D

It fits very nice ;)

And time to find the holes for screws.

Goooooooood!

Drilled up the holes so i can fit m4 screws :D

And time to mount the motherboard.

That’s cool.

;)

The first side panel is cutted out.

Bet this would look cool when it’s brushed and painted black, and with orange plexi!

Hope to get some more done tomorrow! Cya!

Btw. Sorry the bad pictures, I screws up the settings on my cam.

Update 14 – Reservoir @ Tuesday the 20th March 2007.

Intro
Yesterday my radiator, psu and pump arrived, so i decided to drop the plans about making the panels today, and instead create a reservoir ;)

The funny part

All right, here’s the first part, I’ve drilled holes for fittings and screws.

Look how straight this is! 6 holes with 60degreeds between each ;)

Nice! Me like.. Very cool look, right?

And here we have the top with packing and screws ;)

And now, DONE!

What do you think? ;)

And mounted in the case.

Hold by those.

;)

And here’s the stuff i got yesterday.

And all my watercooling until now ;)

Lets put it together.

And some water’s needed.

NO LEAKS!! :D

Bad picture, but try to imaging how this look irl..


I’ll try to make the last side panel today.

Comments are welcome ;) Cya guys :)

Update 15 – PSU plate @ Friday the 23rd Marc 2007.

Intro
Today I’ve got some more work done.
I did also made the last side panel, but you have to wait until next update ;)
The idea came when I figured out that the psu was to big to fit the case. I think the result is pretty good. When I get some more time I’ll create some spacers that’ll hold the psu and the case together ;) Lets go.

The funny part

As you can see, there is not that much space.

So lets use the dremmel.

Done.

As you can see, there’s space for everything now.

Then it’s time to create the plate, here I did a little drawing.

All right, we start here. A plexi and a alu sheet.

And once again I need to use the mill.

Now it’s time to make it fit.

Great!

What do you think?

I need to cut off those.

And a little mistake I need to fix.

And fixed, it looks much better irl than on the picture, and when the screw is in place, you want see it.

And then it’s time to clean my workshop.

And then.. ;)

What do you think?
Cheers :D
