Sweeet!! +rep
I told you guys I would not let you down.
Here's a shot with the window installed. it doesn't sit as flat as I'd like it to. this is mainly due to the curved surface. If I had it to do over again, I would have prebent the trim piece before installing it. Oh well, I think it still looks good:
I laid out 3 60 deg lines so I could mark the resevoir brackets:
then I just drilled some holes and cut out the padding on the inside for the head of the screw:
I painted the supports black for now:
here are both supports with the factory mounts cut off:
I then drilled and tapped each support:
And here they are with the supports mounted and ready to go:
Installed on the resevoir:
then I slid it into the tube. Very tight fit. I will have to go back and do a little touchup paint when I'm done:
Then I installed the translucent side panels on the bottom:
I fixed the issue with the tubes that come out of the resevoir. I cut some holes and made it work: :)
Just so you guys can see, the back part is packed full of wiring, 3 transformers, 2 fans and the radiator. I still have more to go!
I'm getting to the point of forcing myself to decide what to do on the back half. I'm still not sure yet....
I don't know what to say other than WOW! +rep
Mate this has turned out awesome, one of the best mods I have seen. +rep for sure.
Awesome indeed! that rad looks so nice inside of the turbine ;) This is ba far my favorite image:
So... more? :)
Congrats renderman! That thing looks really hot! By now I even like the colours :)
Superb work.
Would you give us an image with all lights on?
It looks so good, that res is so nice! I want to see all the lights on though :D
I think i'm in love <3 awesome work man ;)
Sweet deal on the turbine! I have the 250mm and 500mm versions of that res in black. I love em'.

Here is just a small update tonight.
My dad was adding some gutter helmut to his house so I snagged a piece. here is a section of it.
I ran to the hobby store and bought some plastic modeling parts so I could start some "kit basing". not really though. I'm building most of it from scratch.
sorry, not very exciting.
Not very exciting my ass! Man that is coming out sooooooooooo sweet. +rep fest from me!
Agreed, some great kitbashing there!
That looks great. If you want some good looking industrial parts have a look at the Games workshop models scenery range. A tad expensive but it is made with resin and completely customizable.
beautiful piece of work there, really is coming along nicely would be good to see see if this really improoves on the temps that pitifull addon fan for the reseraitor produces.
Keep up the good work man:banana: :banana:
Dude this is turning out awesome, wish i woulda kept my eye on this earlier. But it looks great, hope all turns out well. +rep fo sho
Thanks you guys. I'm glad you like it. I'm going to keep kitbashing the back half and then work on painting it. I'm getting pretty close to being done with this. so I'll have to start looking around for a computer case to mod. either that or build one from scratch.
build it from scratch, ive got my aluminum sheet on order for my 100% aluminum build and I have been working on plans and measurements for weeks now I'm so excited i cant contain myself so would be nice to see how you go about it as well.
wow. im having Paul's Doom 3 flashbacks.... :D ahh good times.
love the progress your making on this, im sure when you all set and done its going to be nothing short of the mod of the century :D nice work bro.
how's about making these in bigger amount and sell em? i would take one :D
I continued with the kit bashing tonight. here are some pics.
Mate looks great. Can't wait to see the new part painted.
This project is beginning to look like a res for Doom3
But that's a good thing, I assure you. It's completely bitchin'
this mod is leaving me post-less!
this is one of those mod's you look foreword to when you see at the top of the list then jump in and its just a post not an update lol and your disappointed :D
Lmao i get exactly the same thingQuote:

I'll get back on it tonight I promise!!!
looks just amazing man... +REP ftw
I really hate being bored at work. I spend way too much money buying things online. I should have one of these comming to me ina few days now. http://www.frozencpu.com/products/20...?tl=g30c87s144
you have to admit, that is one sexy lump of metal!
Yep, spend it on things that are going to need modding to fit in with the mod. *hint*.
Now hurry up and post some updates. XD
Yeah, that was one sexy hunk of money too. I also purchased the heat bridge for the voltage regulators.Quote:

I'll have an update tonight. Kitbashing takes a long time, so I've found out.

Wish I had an airbrush and all those nice materials.. That way, I could at least try what you are doing! By the way, the kit bashing, excellent!
Ok, I'm close to being done with the kit bashing.
Here are some Chrome wheels from a car kit my friend gave me. I thought they would make the perfect "Intakes" for the vents on the back. What do you think?
Here are the ones in the back. they look like a fan blade. Infact I think the model of the wheel was for an old style mustang and it was called "Turbine". Ironic huh?
Here is the kit bashing I did tonight on the other side:
By the way, I'm not sure if you realize this or not but the top of this whole back comes off to access the radiator, fans and transformers.
Lastly, here is a shot looking at the end of the resevoir inside the tube. you can see the two holes I cut for the tubing directly below the barbs on the resevoir.
I hope I have enough room to install the tubing and get the clamps tight when I get around to it. :)
Up next. More painting, masking, painting, more masking, painting some more, masking........... You get the idea.
Later,
looking real nice there, will you be leaving the wheels chrome or painting them?
Looks great. You may be the next Crimson Sky lol
Honestly,i think that this wheels doesn't fit nice on that turbine,they are too shiny for my taste.Exept this wheels everything looks perfect;)
he hasnt painted it yet :DQuote:
