Oh my, I DO love your Orb ! You're my inspiration ! :D
A bright sunny day in Holland, lets paint !
I covered the three main parts with black Hammerite, then used a lighter shade to bring the accents back from the black depths....
Hard to judge with the sun dropping fast :)
I had to modify the rear a bit, the radiator had to move a tad to the left, coz I couldnt get my monitorcable in the videocard :) :) :) When THAT cable fitted, I couldnt get the powercable plugged in ! Solution was to use a hooked powersupply cable :)
Tied cables together and worked the rest of the cables underneath the mainboard.
Nice and tidy.
Unfortunatly, on the other side, the powersupply cables. :(
Seems wireless power isnt invented yet ?
Little joke, I found an old lens that fitted perrrrrrrrfectly into one of the skull eye sockets. Held it so you see the new Sapphire X1800 XL :)
Fixing lots of small things; Thanx to XFX I have a working cardreader again. The skull-bolts didnt work out, I cut of the thread from them, drilled holes in the heads and threaded it again. Three UV LEDS underneath the transparant water reservoir fixed. Here are some pictures for a more total look. I used flash on and off to show you the difference.
Mounted the arms loosely for the pictures.
Tried to make a picture in the dark, but my camera doesnt agree with me on this point.
Round of applause!
Very very very awesome work. +rep
EDIT: I need to spread some rep around first buddy
Holy s**t! Thats became a really freaky case! :eek: Nice work.
I love the grippers / arms. That thing could really hover around in DOOM oder Quake.
Thanx Squelsh, that was what I was aiming for :)
And here the last of the worklog for your entertainment :D
Just came back from the TIMES lanparty, where I won first place with this mod
( and its not finished yet ). I had such a good time, specially with the interaction from the publik;
Most people who stumbled onto my case responded with "WTF!?"........... Hahahahahahahahahaha
Second thing a lot of people asked me "Do those arms move ?"
There were just too much people who asked me that, I cannot ignore that. So ! Somehow, I need to get movement into the arms or hands.
For myself I see a lot of small things that need fixing/upgrading, but I only have two hands and way too little time.
One of the smaller items I was not satisfied with, was the turbulence inside the water reservoir.
By means of a small plastic tube, I redirected the waterstream, so now it runs evenly with the curve of the reservoirhousing.
By doing so, I created a small vortex in the reservoir.
I started looking around for small motors, and in the immense pile of junk I have at home, I found a perfect motor with a reduction gear on it.
Even the size was good, and within hours I had the motor coupled to one of the arms/hands.
After some searching I found a second motor, only without a reducing gearbox.
However, this one was a lot smaller, it even fitted inside the excisting hand on the other arm. On that axel I made a smaller version of the three knife-fingers, now it looked like a blender ! :)
And here are they both.
Wanna shake hands ? :) :) :)
On popular request I made two small movies where you can see them move. IRL it shows better, but it will have to do.....

Hope you enjoyed the pictures as much as I enjoyed making this mod.
