+Rep simply for the accurate cutouts on that fan. But you deserve much more rep points for that great case! Keep on!

Where you going in Australia mate?
I'm in New Zealand now. Been to Melbourne and visited Tasmania 8 days. Only got 11 days left before I go back to the the Netherlands. Looking forward to my skydive next sunday :banana:
Will start modding when I'm back home.
Haha awesome buddy, Melbourne is great for shopping and stuff, have never been to Tazzie before though.
duhuuuuuuuuuuuude were waitiing
GET SOME PICS UP NOW!!!!
:bad:
I think he just got home from vacation.
Yep back home again. Australia and New Zealand are so beautiful. Seen so many places and have done so many things I wanted to do :banana:
I've done a lot of things since I'm back from my vacation, but the thing is it just was not interesting for an update. Just because I had to make three or for of the same parts, parts that I already showed in previous posts.
But now I can show some new stuff, not much, but it is something new. First of all I almost finished two dustfilters, only need to clean, sand and polish them.
Drilled two holes in the acrylic and tapped the hole. Cut of the heads of some bolts and placed those in the holes. These metal pins that stick out need to keep the acrylic piece, that comes on top, in place.
The top, filter material and bottom.
And this is where the filters will be placed, I can slide them in there. This is the bottom of the case, underneath.
From these intakes the air will be guided through airducts. On the left you can see the holes without the airduct and on the right you can see the airduct in place.
This is how I mounted the airduct, just tighten the bolts and the aluminium profile pulls the airduct onto the rubber seal.
Also did some detailwork. Something that will be mounted on the backside of the case.
This will be the airoutlet on the back of the case. The frosted acrylic will give a pretty cool effect when the light from the orange fan is on. Used I torch to give you a bit of an impression.
Yay an update. Glad to hear you had fun in our country lol. That outlet looks amazing.
I just love Australia, if I could find a job over there I would book a flight for tomorrow.
A very small update today. I had to mount the fanhousings and didn't want the bolts to be visible. This is what I came up with. I glued two pieces of acrylic (5mm.) together and cut a triangle from this piece. To make it fit I rounded one corner, so I could glue it in the corner, on the inside, of the fanhousing.
After this I drilled a hole in these pieces of acrylic and tapped it. Attached it with two bolts to the aluminium panel. You can see the two bolts above the airducts.
A view from the side.
and from another angle. The compartment with the airduct will not be visible when this case is finished, only the side with the fanhousing will.
I'm glad you are back on work at this wonderful case. Hope to see more of your high quality updates the next days.
Mod on,
Squelsh
Glad to see you back, i was wondering what happened to this case. Can't wait to see more!
Those ducts look awesome.
love the ducts:D
Now those are ducts, great work - a really inspirational mod this one. Such great craftsmanship - Keep it coming!
Awesome progress dude!
Every single bit is freakin sweet
Cant wait for more :D
Keep up the good work :up:
Awesome project! The fiber work is top notch.
I was curious about the corner braces, where did those come from? What are they called? Has anyone else seen anything similar? They're perfect for my mod I might be startin' ;) Thx
Send you a PM mofo.
Working on some more dustfilters. I don't want the dust to reach the radiators or even get into the ducts. So I will need dustfilters for the intakes on the sidepanels. I'm talking about these guys.
This is what I came up with.
I integrated the frosted white intake grill. Used some pieces of acrylic to raise it a bit. Glued it onto the grill and mounted it from behind with some bolts, not visible in when mounted.
All parts joint.
This part will be mounted in here, so from the back of the intake.
Not ready yet, still need to make something that keeps this thing in place.
Holy crap. Those are awesome. Fantastic work.
:bowdown:
plus Reputation!
stunning, how does one tap a hole?
Looks great so far!
i lold so hard when i read this... its my new sig quoteQuote:

I will take a picture from my G1/4 tap for you and it is just b4i7 told you. Just drill a hole, slightly smaller then the tap and turn the tap into the hole. The tap cuts a thread into the material and pulls itself to the other side of the material.
This one is a G1/4 tap and has to be done in two steps. The one in the picture is the first one.
The four dustfilters for the sidepanels are in place now.
From the back (inside from the case)
and with the acrylic duct mounted.
The sidepanel from the other side.
That looks Amazing nice work +rep
Thanks. I'm very happy with the result and the case is really starting to shape up now.
Waiting for some frosted and orange acrylic now. Can only work on some small details next week.
Great progress shot. I can tell that this is gonna be a winner.
I am absolutely dying to see this completed, it's been totally original in design and concept from the beginning and it is getting mighty pretty. Is this one destined for competition?
now THATS inspiring! maybe its just me, but i like the computers that don't look like computers, and to have something like this come out so wonderfully is....well...beautiful. it makes me want to dig out my old attempts and "putter around in the garage" as my wife likes to put it.
I don't think this case will take part in a competition.
I started to work on some more detailwork. I received some sheets of orange acrylic. Frosted orange, fluor orange and just normal orange and that's what I started to work with on the windows of the sidepanels. I cut some rings that follow the outline of the windows.
This is just the start. I just can't keep things simple. I will use some frosted white acrylic as well. Hope to show you guys some more coming weekend.
You never cease to amaze me with your attention to detail and skill. Fantastic work mate, keep it up.
The window is starting to shape up now. Made two pieces of frosted acrylic. These are slightly wider on the inside of the window then the orange acrylic. Drilled 6 holes and tapped them.
The orange acrylic is mounted on the outside and the frosted white ones on the inside of the sidepanel.
WIll have to wait for some transparant acrylic from my sponsor AC Ryan to finish the windows.
I added the frosted white acrylic with a reason ofcourse. The reason is that it will use some leds to make it stand out.
Nice. Cant wait to see it with the LEDs in there.
Haven't had much time to work on the case the last couple of weeks.
I know many people like to see coloured lights in a casemod, so I bought 250 orange leds. Don't think I will use all of them, but they were cheap and will always come in handy.
I like to see the case without any colour, just with "warm" white light. So I bought another 300 white leds. So white light for me and orange for the people that like colour. With some switches I can turn on and off different groups of leds. The switches will be mounted on the backside of the case, but I wanted to keep it in the same style. I used the outtake on the back of the case as a reference. Talking about this outtake.
And this is what I came up with.
