Yet another day has gone by.... and finally... rounding 75% done on the HDD cables and sleeving, 6 of the 8 - 6 plug cables are done, oh oh, added some pics of the true top radiator aswell,
Sad enough, didnt receive the 120mm fan's today... or the radiators -.- will pick em up tomorrow though
whats been done
*Cable sleeeeeeeves -.-
*Cable sleeeeeeeves -.-
*Cable soldering -.-
*Cable sleeeeeeeves -.-
*Cable soldering -.-
The frustration is apparent :P
Anyways... heres some pics :
The silencers came with lotsa s-ata power connectors... however... all of em were facing the same way... thats not gonna work with middle placed PSU's with disks above and below, had to cut and rotate half of em
The top box, more rads!
The top box has officially lost 50% of its total height, just like its brother ^^ the top space is not needed at all, and trust me... the case is still bloody HUGE, anyways, another set with 360 rads mounted up, totalling at 4x360 radiators in top, another 2x 240 coming in for the bottom module tomorrow along with the fractal design fans
Guys! Guess what?!
The truly worst, most fragile and hated material to work with have arrived, in a small pile, at my office... after a 3 hour drive to pick it up at the "local" retailer (Norway is one of those countries with bad availability of certain stuff, plexi being one of em :P)
Guess i should dedicate a entire article to how much i hate plexiglass, but that will have to go for some other time... and trust me... the list is painfully long when it comes to why i dont like working with it... but hey... it looks good, doesnt it? ^^
So..
Whats been done
* been cutting plexi like crazy on a bladesaw
* measured and drilled holes trough it
* made proper fittings for m6 bolts so it can be mounted to the case
* cut 6x 120mm holes on the top case for radiator ventilation
* been drawing sketches to the cable hiding "system" (also called angled alu plates :P)
Plexi -.-
Well.. the plan was to go for eloxated brushed alu in the first place... but im one of those impatient guys that cant really wait 2 weeks for stuff to be sendt away... worked with... returned and then to be finding that more stuff have to go trough the same process again.
So went off to the local retailer and picked up around 5 square meters of different tickness plexi,
The entire front part of the case is now made out of 5mm clear plexi with 3mm black reflective plexi outside (think PS3 finnish), should be able to put some diodes or cathodes behind it so ill have a nice blue glowing edge around all of it ^^
Also picked up a 8mm tick clear plate to cover the front screen.
All of it tightened up with m6 bolts
And NO, i cant remove the protective plastic before everything is done, its there for a reason :P
Plates all cut up
Showing off the front middle section on the floor ^^
Measure up
And start drilling ^^
The 5mm + 3mm make up the 8mm clear plexi on the front display perfectly =)
Ventilation, top radiator's
Not much air is gonna go trough a 3mm plexi plate, so had to get some holes up and ready for some seriour ventilation :P Oh... and the spacers will be coming back, just had to take em out so i could mount the plates proper :P
The backside of the rads
Would hate to try and read trough this thread with a 56k... lol
Hopefully able to push trough a update tomorrow aswell ^^

Sweet azz man I can't wait to see this finished!
mmm. Tis truly a work of art.
Though, from Mark's sig, it would appear that Woz wouldn't trust it :P
Keep up the good work!
One of those sleepnight nights have just struck me yet again... my ladie is off in spain for another 3 days... so nothing much to do home at the moment...
Ah well... guess we just have to fill up the time with other stuff to do ^^ and whats better then some late nigh modding 0.o (no, thats not a serious statement) :P
on the 4th day of my cable management road now, and honest, stuff is cloing in to being nearly invisible as far as cables go atleast, in the middle section though :P the rest havent even been started 0.o
The super PSU cooler thingy!
The PCP&C PSU's have been rumored to excrete quite alot of annoying sound when being warmed up, so would assume that a couple of fan's would help keeping the audible stuff a bit down...
So decided to make a fan duct around all the 3 PSU's to be sure they receive enough air in that somewhat tightened up enviroment ^^
And yes... the small gap between the cable holder and the PSU duct is just a matter of not fastening stuff to the frame yet ^^
Thats all for this night guys, stay tuned tomorrow =)
Wow, I'm continually impressed with the quality of your work. Great job!
Oh, and may I reiterate...that is a LOT of wires :P
Wat the hell are you going to fill the hdd's up with?
pr0n!
and stuff...
LMAO :DQuote:

Now how long would it take to watch 30TB's on Pr0n?? HAHA
Lovely mod
-gaz
about 2 yrs of hd stream on 30tb ^^
More to the point how much of a sad life would u have it you had that much pr0n. Very cool still cant belive the hdd space.
Even more to the point, why do you need 30TB's of pr0n when you have a partner?!
or you guys could spell it PORN, not pr0n...thats just retarded :whistler: :facepalm:
Lol, they could just say porn, but pr0n is just... So much more fun to say. Hahaha
On another note, keep up the good work. ^_^
wtf? it's spelled porn? 0.o
After a few days out being really (REALLY) drunk with some friends, i guess its time to get back to work :P however... its quite hard when u cant even lean forward without loosing balance...bloody vodka... lol
The paintjob i due this week, ended up with 2 layers of powder coat this time around aswell.....and alot have to be sanded before starting up with that...
Whats been done
* Mounted fan's
* Made radiator holder
* Finished mobo plate holders
* Sanded up some parts for painting
* Received 40x 100cm angled S-ATA cables
* Worked a bit more on the PSU shroud
With a bit of luck should i receive my shipment from watercooling.co.uk by tuesday, that contains the pumps and the coils for the hoses ^^
