This thing is freaking awesome!
I bought the dremel engraver too, is it normal for it to sound like cheap plastic being rattled like crazy?.Quote:
HUGE heatsink by the way:D.
Is that a Dremel engraver? I thought it was the Dremel with the Li-Ion battery pack lol.
It definately looks like the Dremel engraver, I should get practicing with mine for future projects and then I'll have something cool to show.:DQuote:

I got one of those engravers and have yet to use it to do any angraving...
Earplugs are a must when using any type of engraver. :)
they make the worst noise!
Yeah, it makes a HELL of a racket. I normally dont mind, being slightly deaf anyway, but this is also VERY ANNOYING!! heheheQuote:

Nice work! I am a HUGE fan of the movies! I can't wait to see the finished product.
When I get Mark1 done, I might skip ahead and do Mark13, Which will be a replica of the machine from the movie "Hardware". But enough about me...:D
frenkie... the man with a large heatsink is mearly making his pc cool... am i right ? *wink*
I don't know for sure but I think Scythe just released a bigger sink lol. The Kabuto (reminds me of Pokemon lol):

/\ shes a biggen... 700+mg... :dead: omg
Yep 730g without accessories (mounting hardware and possible fan).
The mobo isnt in yet, and frankly, my intend was to start with that piece first. Now that it is really much later,
instead i'll show you another part of this mod.
There will be two arms along the side of the case and in the movie you must have noticed that arm is an
important piece that Cyberdyne rescues from the first Terminator wreckage.
Yes, through internet, ( just like the skull ) you can buy brilliant replica arms, even in lifesize. But I am making
my own arms, and now i'll show you a piece of the hands.
My first prototype I made a mock-up with nuts and bolts.
Allthough it wasnt bad, I decided to make another version of them.
To get lifesize, I used my own hand as example. Routing it over a piece of paper.
Adding all the measurments.
The large middle piece I draw as a fold-out model.
Cut it out of the paper.
Traced it into aluminium.
With some creativity, I added some depth.
For the fingers, I used this thin aluminum tube.
Cut it and sorted to size.
This is the drawing with the tubes.
I will use stiff electricians-wire to connect it all together.
For the phalanx I used this square piece of wood.
All the phalanx come from this piece, connecting the fingers.
I will make them one by one, as soon as I know the correct position of the hands. Then paint it metal/silver and
done. ( oh and then the whole process again for the other hand.)
nice idea, should look good :up:
That really is a very nice idea, cyborg arms FTW!!!
sweeet... keep it up frenkie...(doubt it will fall)
Holy crap man, you're going all out on this one. I really love the fact that you refuse to buy pre-built models and insist on building your own. That is really the core of modding itself I think. Nice work so far!
Once again I've been cocky/pigheaded. Although many of you had told me it wouldn’t work, I still started trying out the "chrome" spray paint.
I toke the standard 140 mm fan of the Scythe Orochi and an old fan from my BFG mod.
First I cleaned them and then added a layer of primer. Then two thin layers of chrome paint over it.
As you said, it dries just not quite enough, it stay a bit tacky. (OK, even on the bus it says that "lightly" sticks, ahwell)
Here you see the result. It is not chrome, more of a silver-gray with a glossy coating.
When I started with this cooler, I couldnt stop. This is the toppart that sits over the cooler.
Underneath you can see a little chamber, there was a green LED. I swapped it for a
bright blue one.
Toppart on the cooler again.
When it is on, it looks kinda cool.
Even more so in the dark.
Because the Scythe Orochi was not intended for this socket, I had to make my own mounting, with the 775 bracket as an example.
A nice piece of 2 mm hard aluminium, I got from my friend Roger ( thanx man ! )
First drawing the lines.
And after some sawing, hacking, slashing, cutting, blood sweat and tears...
I also engraved the 'Cyberdyne Systems' text on the side.
Anyway, the little cooler I mounted on the side of the Orochi; I mean a Core I7 920
with passive cooling is just a little too risky for me (although I never overclock)
Brings me right to the specs of the Terminator. The "content" of the Terminator is a Gigabyte GA-EX58-X58 motherboard UDR3R,
3x2 Gb Corsair Dominator DDR3 memory,
a Core I7 920 processor which is cooled by a Scythe Orochi cooler
and the graphics come from a Sapphire HD 4870 video card.
Could be worse, huh? Oh and the OS will run on two Hitachie harddrives
The OS I am going to use a 64 bit Windows7.
This hardware is partly from generous sponsors, partly bought with a discount and a part I had to pay myself. Thanx Maurice, Ben, Bernice, Bill, Jeroen, Bjarn en Kenny!
That fan looks sweet when it's turned on. I'm a huge fan of Terminator; can't wait to see this thing completed. +rep
wow looking good man.. that cooler is really cool]
EDIT: no pun intended
The silver fans look great, I love that Thermaltake pod one. Nice sponsors mate.
Thanx guys, much appriciated !
Time to look at those boring fans. Here you see the Corsair Dominator fans, still crispy new in the blister pack.
Unscrewed and stickers removed.
First, a primer layer and then with the "chrome" spray of Praxis over them.
After drying mounted together.
Then the HDD fan from Antec itself. Everything is black on the fan, but that is too boring.
Disassembled.
And after spraying and drying put back together. ( without the mesh! )
Now I couldnt stop anymore, so that big fan on top of the case was next.
Disassembled.
The first layer of primer.
and a photo of the "chrome" layer in the sunshine. Again, I wont mount the mesh here.
Just for fun I mounted the most important components together, it almost looks like an
engine block :)
Now we can see what extreme size the whole thing is, here you see the video card sticking out beyond the motherboard.
Here you see the Orochi a bit beyond the back of the mobo.
And the other side of the cooler because I mounted that silly fan it sticks out quite far.
Those new Corsair RAM coolers are far better than their older ones, 2x60mm fans are far better than 3x40mm fans.
I am loving the silver fans, they look really good. You just have a slight problem with keeping everything crammed onto the mobo lol. Perhaps a Scythe slim fan will work better on the cooler.
wow... those things do stick out a bit eh... good work as always frenkie
I'm 100 % sure another fan would fit better...... but that is not my intend. Lets say, I'm not afraid to encounter new challenges. :)Quote:

Question: When painting the fans, are you tearing them apart completely? Or just laying paint down?
All I did was tape the berings up when I painted mine lol.
Beautiful weather outside, here an outdoor action shot. Here I turn the fan down with 4 socket screws.
The color is still a large difference with the Titan fan in the PSU.
Here you see a normal DVD player with standard front, boring huh?
Just detach the front.
I have a piece ACRyan Acrylic Panel mirror left over.
Very nice stuff, and very light. Ideal for a new front.
This is an Asus OC Gear controller, "a 5.25-inch module that allows you at any moment you graphics card overclocking. The OC Gear is also the speed of the fan and the volume of the sound control. " I got it from a friend who had no need to / for his Asus card.
I'm not sure if I can get it to work properly, but it looks cool.
Using the acrylic panel I made a new front on the DVD player.
If you look side by side, you might see some color differences, but not much IMO.
Here are the 5.25 devices. Bit strange solution by Antec, they have only one small screw to fixate to the case (HDD's as well)
Hmm, a slight miscalculation, the front hits the case ... just.
There, fixed.
looks nice :up:
Really cool idea of using the Mirror Panel as an disk drive cover, looks really good.
P.S, love your Leatherman.
yeah thats a nice leather man.. :P case is lookin great
That is going to be an awesome Mod, can't wait to see more progress. (Had to pick up jaw from floor)!!
Subscibed!!
The the-Orochi-cooler-does-not-fit-in-an-Antec topic. : D
I've begun to take some shots from the side in profile,
and then into a drawing programm to look at the view in issue.
As expected, to get it fitted, I would have to cut a large piece from the case which is neccesary for the support.
So with pain in my heart , I decided that the extra cooler has to be replaced.
The space that I have left ...
Is exactly the size of the original Orochi fan, but mounted on the side!
Lets Dremel. First I cut off, as tight as possible (you can always remove a little more if necessary)
Immediately after the cutting, we're going to see if it fits.
Here you see the fan is sliding along very smoothly.
The Orochi fits perfect (ish). Just beneath the large fan.
The support bracket construction is well thought out, and can hold a lot of strength.
Together with the double back plate screw from the video card, it is good and solid.
nice work! looks awesome!
That really is a massive cooler. I hope it cools as well as it should, for your sake. I have read very mixed reviews about it, most cases it is around the same as a TRUE120.
Sometimes it goes well, sometimes it goes bad.
I left you with the fingers and the phalanx. Here I laid out all the phalanx per finger.
In order to get them together, I use default installation wire, 3.4 mm thickness (including insulation)
I have drilled holes in all the phalanx pieces (*** work!) exactly where the wire passes through.
After that I gave all phalanx a little color.
And here you see a robot finger.
My hand.
My robot hand.
The bottom-side you do not see, so I can do with it what i want.
Two hands done.
*** And then it struck me ..... struck me big.
WTF was I doing?
A cyborg hand with cyborg fingers and a human palm, my own human flesh and blood hand.
That is wrong. The fingers are o.k. so that I use, but that aluminum plate for a palm, I threw away. I am making a new cyborg-skeletal version. ***
