Reason for this could be that I made only little things at the PC and fill the GRP form with surface. Be that as it will last weekend I made some pics that IŽll show you in this update.
I started with cutting the hole for the window out of the GRP form.
I know the window could be maybe a little bit bigger to look “ideal”. When the window will be bigger I had to make the inner space bigger and the bigger inner space wouldnŽt look so good how the space with the smaller window. So I decided to make the hole for the window better a little bit smaller.
With the hole for the window the last big piece from the big GRP form was eliminated.
At this picture you could see the 3 pieces I cut out of the form
Moreover I got a very nice package from Calgary (Canada) with two Freezone Elite radiators , one Freezone radiator, a MTEC Control Center und some tubing.
The two Freezone Elite radiators will be installed at the bottom of the sail like my plan was. To get very great cooling results IŽll install two Noiseblocker Multiframe MF12 S2 fans directly behind the radiators.
Later IŽll cut two holes into the Plexiglas, so that the hot air could flow from the radiators to the fans. Moreover IŽll bore three M3 threads in each side edge to could install it how you see at the following picture.
How you could see at the picture I changed my plan for this area a little bit. Namely IŽll install 6 Noisblocker Multiframe MF8 S2 fans instead of only three. These 6 fans will shovel the cold air in the case an directly against the radiators. The hot air from the radiators will be exhaust by the two 120mm fans behind the radiators.
Because at the end IŽll make some “final-pics“ from the inner case (without the GRP form on it) I think it would be really great to see the things that are under the inner bottom plate. For that reason IŽll cut a hole in the bend Plexiglas at the left side. At the following pictures you see the dimensions of the hole.
Besides the bottom area I employed with the GRP form that it fit exactly to the rest of the case and especially to the aluminum plate at the backside. Apparently my preparatory work was nearly exact, because the GRP form fitted relative fast.
How you could see at the cables on the pictures IŽll have a lot of “fun” to sleeve them all.
At the following pictures you see the backside of the case.
The Plexiglas frame between the GRP and the aluminum fitted exactly, but this isnŽt such a big problem, because I have to crop only 2cm from the lower side.
Who considered the last pictures a little bit exactly, noticed maybe that under the GRP form is a socket.
The socket is made of MDF an only for test. The final socket will be making of black anodized aluminum. Moreover I think it will look better, when the socket is 8cm high instead of 7cm, or how is your opinion to the socket???
To give you a little decision guidance here is a picture from the front.
Well and now we are at the end of this update, and I be afraid that IŽll couldnŽt work a lot at the PC next weekend, because IŽll come home in the night from Saturday to Sunday…:-(:-(:-(
@ SXRguyinMA/ msmrx57: Thanks for the complements. Well the shower I really nice, but itŽs still nicer to shower under it…;-)
Edit: Well just this minute I noticed that IŽm nominated for the Mod of the Month July. So I would be very happy that all who like my project could vote for me. For this many thanks beforehand and IŽll reciprocate with some more updates the next weeks/months.
nice progress :up:
