Re: The Orb
@blueonblack :D Thanks.
@Helix: Thanks! - Thats exactly what I am trying to do: Thinking outside the (PC-)box.
I collected enough pics for the next big update. So here are the news:
A little work on the right foot, basicly the same as on the left one:
Mounted the USB-connector:
Carved in my logo and cut out the corresponding plexi parts. Also added two LEDs:
Somehow I lost about 5 pictures from my work on the baseplate :think: Well, you can see it here.
I had to fill a gap in front of the mainboard and also the paint got some scratches. So I sanded it completely and painted it again. The result with a clear coat:
Finally completed the fan for the motherboard (the beginning can be seen here).
These are the mounting brackets (I arranged them for the pic like Tribaloverkill does ;) ) These are glued to the plexi pipe and bolted to the backplate.
Result looks like this:
Quite happy with that glow :)
When I saw that, I simply had to improve the watercooling block of the GeForce. One little hole and a red LED and it looked so much better:
Another redo of a part is the mounting for the motor moving the visor. I enlarged it so now the deflection pulley is no longer part of the hinge cover but a part of the mounting. That way is much more stable:
Last thing: The hinge cover itself with some new holes for the USB cables. Fortunately the USB connectors are only some milimeters away from the hinge cover, so you barely see the cables :up:
Wow, I think this update sets the new maximum regarding the pictures. Hope you like it!

Re: The Orb
All right: Here are the shots I mentioned!
Those are the HDD and DVD activity indicators. One of them on each side of the baseplate. They change the color on activity.
This is a design try for the upper hemisphere. I don't have any airbrush skills, so I have to make it more interesting with some pieces I will glue on.
The following shots were made for the registration at the DCMM competition.
I want some "Yeah" and "Wow" or "Great" posts now :santa:
So, I still have to paint the lower hemisphere, make the WC circuit leakproof and work on the electronics. One week left till DCMM. That will be a tight schedule! What pisses me most right now is that I still wait on some electronic components from a sponsor. But the package doesn't show up since two weeks now...
