Minecraft MP at school is awesome!
Especially with teachers that don't mined!
Starting to get off topic again now are we boys:D
O-rings are in!
40 dollars later, and I got o-rings!
Three sizes! And man was they hard to find. Especially the big one which measures 320 mm in diameter!
The big one fittet in place^
And the grove for the filter.
o-ring fittet in the showoff reservoir - like a glove! :D
And with the acrylic plate on!
Put it all together and did a quick leaktest - works like a charm:D
Now to send some files to get lasercut so I can get the front and back for the big reservoir done! A surprise is coming:D
Your pics are really great!!!! Bump for update?
Thanks mate:D Update coming! (small one tho)
Small teaser of how the HDDīs are going to be attached to the reservoir:
And the "hatch" for the swappable filter:D
Hope you enjoy it!
A tiny update:) Got the front reservoir done with plate and everything! :)
But first, a little design i am working on:
It will be used on something on the build:) I will show later.
Got the reservoir + acrylic plate screwed onto the front:) I will use different bolt/screws for the final mount, but this was what i had:D
Fillport in the top^
As you can see here, the fillport goes down into the reservoir. This should make filling quite easy.
Also drilled a hole in the bottom to do the same thing there, but havent drilled the hole into the reservoir yet.
And a few views over the hdd holder, and how I will route tubing from the motherboard side to the reservoir.
A little closeup of the thing i printet to fit into the precut holes on the M8 case:D
Thats it for now lads:) Off to prepare for another exam -.-
Sharing time:)
Soo, I would like to thanks Corsair very much for joining in on this project, sponsoring me 2xPerformance Pro 128GB ssdīs, and a 8 GB Dominator ram kit!
I was stoked seing these:D They should provide plenty of speed for my operative system! :)
Well protected inside:P
The caselabs ssd disk thingie that i will have them in:)
And how it looks on the plate i made for it:)
And last but not least fittet in the case!
Oh, and these will be the ram that will go into the build!
Thats all for this time lads:) Have a great weekend! (I have the day off tomorrow yay!)
Awesome man. Can't wait to see more!
Hmm... Can't tell if pictures are black & white... or color
Thanks man:DQuote:

Moar plz? :D
Wow, absolutely epic is right. Amazing...
TD
Thank you all! Small update:)
STL files went into the 3d printer 15.30. The estimated time was 8 hours and 30 min. Tired as i was, I calculated that it would be done around 2300 then.
So, the clock was 23.05, and I had calculated that the 3d printer would be done. I came to find this:
For the second time this day I went mental in a way best described with the next picture.
Lesson = My math skills is non-existing after only eating 2 apples and a chocolate bar the entire day -.-
Well, not much left, so I would just wait the extra hour with a mate. We had gone to burgerking, and then to the school lol...
To use the time, we took a trip around the different facilities at the school. This thing is something that someone HAS to build into a casemod sometime! Its a quite powerfull multijoint arm.
And just to make the CNC people out there droole. I sadly dont have access to this, as it is an experimental machine -.-
This was made with the "mill" above.
Dont ask me why lol!
Various robots. Some build by students, others bought to be further developed.
Mhhhhhhh copper!
An early model of the SDU Viking teamīs racecar. Every year they build a new race car that will compete with different universities around the globe in a international race. They build it from scratch with certain demands like weight, engine size etc.
Our robot table soccer machine. I dare you to beat it on "pro" setting.
Back to the parts! DONE!
This is the material the machine uses. The white is the model material, and the brown is the support material.
How it will fit together.
The support material will be melted away in this acid bath. Now there is only to leave them there for tomorrow morning:)
Damn I need to go to your school!
Your more than welcome:P
Got the stuff out of the acid bath, and put some more in the printer:)
How the parts looks when put together, with a modders ruler to show how big it is:P
When the 24 pin has been insertet into the printed part.
This is how it will cover over the motherboard. The tolerance is quite narrow in this place, but it fits like a glove! :)
Here you can see the printed stuff layed on the motherboard tray. Just need to cut slots for them.
And done!
With the motherboard insertet to the case.
As you can see here, I made a slight BoBo and mis-measured... Luckily its an easy fix, but i will have to reprint the parts.
How it looks from the front,
And from the back! :)
Hope you have enjoyed it:)
very cool. Can't wait to see come cables in that.
Your wish is my command:P
Update!
First, a little video of the 3d printer in action:)
Got the holder for the GFX wires done:) Here you can see it with one of the 6 pins the 7950 i bought requires.
Since the 7950 requires two 6 pins, i divided the "thing" into two channels. 6 wires in each.
As you can see, there is not much room to work with, but there is enough :D
The wires then goes onto the backside, and up the rest of the way to the psu (will show later on when i get the rest fabricated:)
How it looks from the front.
And when the motherboard is inserted into the case.
And a money shot:P
Hope you enjoyed :) I am SO close to pulling the trigger on another 7950 card just because it would look awzum with two of them in CF. But cash and WAF is against me sadly.
Another amazing build, p0Pe! Sorry I haven't chimed in before now, life's been keeping me pretty busy. I have to say, it looks like you're managing to pull out all the stops again. PC-BETO was awesome and this one looks to be even better.
I have to chime in on this. First off, CNC machining is not killing modding, and it has just as much to do with creativity as a Dremel. It really is a whole different category of modding though, you must admit. Someone with access to the machinery you have access to can create things that people like myself can only dream of or pay someone with access to said machinery to make. Without a ton of money to outsource the labor it would simply not be possible for me to make what you've made here.Quote:

Yes, I'm jealous. I have a hard time imagining being able to create literally any size or shape of part I want. It's probably for the best that I can't. :)
Regardless, awesome work as always my friend. Carry on!
Thanks man!Quote:

But you are right on the creative part. I just guess I meant that comment for a certain individual on another forum that kept spamming around saying that cnc machines had nothing to do with modding, but you seem to get it.
I always tell people that everything is possible. If you want to make a piece like this, open sketchup, use your imagination and draw it. It does not cost a fortune to get printed, and if you REALLY wanted it done, those 300-600$ would not be an obstruction.
I agree that this is a "different" kind of modding than 100 percent manually work (which I respect insanely), but in the end we all stribe for the same - making the thing noone has seen before:alien:
But on to an update! As you have proberly guessed, I want to keep the amount of visible wires in this build to an absolute MINIMUM! That also includes harddrives.
People told me that they liked the way I recorded how I did some of the 3d drawings on pc-beto, so I thought why not do a time-lapse of a thing i had to make anyway. This whas what came out of that.
After 7 hours in the 3d printer, and around 100 cm^3 of material later, this what what i had.
And mounted on the harddrive rack:D I was very nervous to see if I had gotten all the measurements correct, but as you can see I NAILED it.
And how it looks when slided in. It is made so it will hold itself in place via friction.
A little look on the inside shows how the sata ports is connected. The path for the sata ports needs to be moved slightly to the right, as you can see the sata connector leaning a bit to the left. 0.5 - 1 mm should do it:)
Power and sata wires will come out the back:D
And i know i would have gotten my arse kicked if i did not post a picture of it mounted in the case:D
Thats it for today! :)
Amazing workmanship !
Agrees ---^Great work!
Havn't read it all. But in the end the rack and cable guides will be painted?
NICE!!!
very kick ass!!!
bump?
I like how this is turning out... add me as a plus sub. and good job!!
Thanks man!Quote:

Time for a PROPER update! Just finished my last exam, so lets get things going! :D
First of all a big thanks to Corsair for sending me a heapload of fans to work with! Apriciate it:)
I am planning to put 3 in the front like this^
Have tapped the fans to fit M5 screws
Fitted two in the bottom, and one in the rear. Beside this, there will of course go 3 to each radiator :)
Made myself a little helper for when i have to fill her up (no jokes lads)
Screws right into the fill-port, and should make for an easy filling.
The fillport goes right down into the big front reservoir.
In the bottom, there is a drain hole which i had not made in the reservoir yet.
So first drilling a 11 mm hole,
Then tapping it with my trusty G1/4 tap to fit the fittings.
And with a bitspower stop fitting to see if i messed up lol :P
Now this part, is funky! This will cover up the dvd drive, and route sata cables from the motherboard to the harddrives and ssdīs in the other compartment. It will "click" together with a part on the other side.
Proberly the easiest way to understand it is by this cad drawing.
The sata cables will go like this.
And it will sit in the case like this^
To "lock" the cables on the other side, this part will be clicked in. After the cables are all in, simply click the "smaller" part in to lock the cables in place.
Like this,
And this!
And also got the other large part for the PSU printed
Along with the covers for the two pumps, that also acts as wire routers :) A hole have been made in the rear to make it possible to get to the speed control.
Now the fun begins -.- cable management which in which i always seem to end up chewing more than i think i can swallow...
First attempt = fail. wires did not fit!
Second attempt, wires fits, but i still need to redo the part, as there is not enough room for them in the top right part :(
But it looks good, so here is a macro shot ;)
Until next time! Have fun and enjoy the weather:D
Post 1500 :D:D:D
Black and white update!
The old 24 pin connector messed up, and i was not able to get the wires routed trough it duo to to much friction between the wires and the part itself, so had to move the hole from the bottom to the top.
14 hours of printing, and 6 hours of acid(bath) later ->
Printed the new 24 pin piece. This time with the opening in the top, instead of bottom. And guess what? The wires slid right in, without ANY violence. Should have done this to begin with, but what the heck.
Another shot from the top.
And with inspiration from Waynio, I made a new PSU grill, not quite done yet. Need stuff for the two last corners.
shot, as it will sit in the case
The evolution of the wire system. from top left you will see:
1: version 1. that was measured wrong contra the position of the PSU
2: version 2. that was to small for the wires to fit proper in.
3: version 3. that was just right, and to the right of that, the cover to cover it all up
And here is last version with the cover on.
All wires fitted in the 24 pin connector piece. I cant decide if i want a clear plate in that hole, so people can see how the wires are routed, or to cover it up completely. Opinions?
Work In Progress
DOOOOOOOOONE! And this time it FITS!
And with the gfx connector.
The wires did JUST barely fit in this. Got lucky lol...
With the "lid" on. Cant even see there is any lol.
Next to my wannabe macro lens
Nī just chillin in da window xD
Until next time, have fun!
This build is so crazy. None of this stuff has ever been done before in a case mod. I can't wait to see all this stuff installed in the case.
Really incredible work. All the 3d printed parts are simply brilliant. Also, what's the acid bath for? Removing support material?
Epic build bud. I can't imagine how much your fingers hurt after rounting all those cables.
Looking forward to the next update!
That is what I aim for:) I love to make stuff people have never seen before:DQuote:

As usual it is more work than it looks, and for now, i have to wait until i can figure out how to properly insert the pins at the right length. I also need to get a scheme of how the wires for the 24 pin sits together as i cleverly threw the one i made when i dissembled the thing away a long time ago lol! Corsair might be able to help out xD
Some pictures of the progress:
And also ordered myself a little something something to controll my fans:) Cheapo version as i dont need a display:D But i will show that when it comes;)
Until then - Have fun!:)
Soooo, could not resist a test-mount. What do you think:D I should have some more parts monday and then i can get to the fan-routing fun.
I will let the pictures do the speaking:)
And a shot from the behind:)
And my girlfriend decided that my Yoda figure was to geeky, so she flowered it up apparently... Did not notice until today lol.
Epicness....
:stupid: I wish I had $$ to access a 3d printer like that :D
One of these days I will have a 3D printer. The more cool stuff I sell, the better my workshop capabilities will be.
I love how you're routing cables like this. Must be a bit of an issue making sure they're all going to the right places, but this is looking really nice.
Thanks guys! :D
And yeah, I am constantly panicking about the thought of having placed a wire in the wrong spot :S
10 days to go to campus party!!!!! I need to get my act together and get some work done lol!
So, first of all, i needed to fix how i would get the motherboard tray out with the new cable system in.
The operation setup.
Result. This will let me get the tray in "sideways" in the beginning, allowing enough clearance to get the system in. Might be a bit confusing, but i will make sure to explain in a later update.
Now to this... I have prosponed this for far to long, and better get to it. Terror awaits!
What will happen? The wire will be cut to exact lenght so it fits the best. Then the isolation will be stripped.
Apply a crimp^
Crimp said crimp with the crimper tool. Repeat for success.
First wire done!
5 more in the bank, and the first 6 pin is done! And it only took me.. yeah... lets not talk about that.
And now to something completely different.
Primed the pump mount.
And painted it black - and mounted on the radiator with a rubber strip under both long beams to hinder vibrations from the pumps.
Mounted in the case
And what is this now?
Lid off - what is inthere?
Aquaero 5 fancontroller. What would a mod with 16 fans be without one!
And just to finish off with something fun - A uv shot of green fluid in the reservoir.
Can't rush perfection :D
That reservoir is absolutely awesome. I could maybe do stuff like this, but the likelihood of going ADD and wandering off to some other project is too high. Great stuff. You're certainly pushing the envelope of what we see here in a build.
Hehe thanks guys! I am doing my best:)
All wires in their place, and ready to some soldering.
After soldering, and all snugged into place. Mind you, this is a TIGHT fit!
And put onto the PSU. Its a bit hard to push onthere, but it is doable.
And put onto the motherboard tray. Also crimped the 8 pin PSU connector. A "hider" for this, like the 24 pin and 6 pins will be made after i get back from berlin. For now, this will have to do.
and from the back.
I should get a PSU tester tomorrow that coolerkit.dk have been so generous to send along with a few other things. If it dont yell at me, things can be put together!
