Hp Res 3 Mega

To hold the locking nut into positon and to stop it sliding back out a smaller holed rod is pressed fitted and glued.

The over hang will be trimmed away to sit flush.

Next it to make the outer "keyed" cylinder.

This outer cylinder will house the Spring, so it needs to be plugged and glued.

The spring can now sit inside of the outer cylinder

Using the long clear screw the assembly can be screwed togther.

The movement is smooth and slides very well. Next i'll add the Micro switch and attach the unit to the fron of the case.

Cheers brouhaha tyvm mate :)

Thanx all for the great comments!




Part2


The CDROM switch mechanism needs to connect to a switch! i chose a micro switch, similar to the one CDROMS use!

The joining switch connector needs to be a disconect-able from the main mech, Again using clear tube heres what i came up with.

Ive cut a castle device to hold the micro switch

The castle gets pressed into a larger tube and the 2 are glued as one.

An old HDD activity loom + plug are recycled and used.

The micro switch and wires are pressed in.

As can be seen the two units can be fitted togther as one!

The unit needs to have a locking device! a doweled keyway design is used.... much like a press fit lightbulb.

The switch is hot glued secure


Then it's a push

And a twist locks it all together!

A simple soloution is used to connet to the CDROM


Hard to see.. but a paper clip is cut into 2 small pins.

With the base of the cdrom removed to the cut pins are tinned and soldered directly to the eject pins on the board

The idea of this method rather than direct soldering is that i now can have a "removable" option .. much like on your motherboard.

the best can be secured again and the unit flipped over. The 2 connecting pins stick neatly out from the cdrom and can be easily connected to.

a final and action shot !

Rank's right guys!

HP Resurrection 3....HPRIII....HPRES III MEGA

the whole series went as follow,

The first HP was
HP Resurrection ... It was then rebuilt into HPRES Stealth'D

Then HP Resurrection II .. that was the purple one! HPR2 was orignally an air cooled pc. I then decided to ADD the Defyant Style Dual full lenght side tanks and some sexy water ..The PC became HP Resurrection II -Evolution. or HPR2-EVO... confused?

After that came HP Resurrection III HPR3 (this mod)..... as you all know this mod started life as Bondo guide for another forum.

The guide wich essentually was just the front panel was called.

Defyant's MEGA Blowhole and Bondo guide.... and indeed it was!

The mega came just from the enormous front dual blow hole but i decided to carry that one theme thru the whole mod.....

Mega plex....mega blow hole.... mega side tank! and mega paint :)

After HP3 MEGA came

HP4- Flame'D thats the silver case with the flamed side panel and Defyant style NO2 RES.

HP-SERVER is essentually HP5. ( the back one)

Watch out for HP-6 MAX !.... i havnt run outa ideas yet :)

HP3's new side blades posed a pretty big problem... ! these could not be passivly lit! an active solution would now have to be used.

The original idea was to light the blades using LED's... but these just could not give an even light along the whole blade.

To just leave them "unlit" after all this work just did'nt seem fitting for mods that taken almost a yr to do now!

The solution again was EL wire! i swear i must have brought 20 mtrs of this stuff by now! but this stuff is a "liter's dream"!

The method i'll use is a Needle and thread or shoe lace idea......


Basically the EL wire will loop from front to back in one continuos length.

the first of many holes are drilled.

Next is to drill the same holes thru the window as well!

The window is glued to the side panel and the RED and BLUE EL wire are passed thru.

These are then fed along the outer side of the panel and then back.

To keep the back of the panel tidy the inner feeds are covered with black techflex , heatshrinked and glued into place.

The end result are 4 outer runs of RED and BLUE lights :)

The Side blades will be channeled then glued into place over the EL wires!

A sneeky peek before all Blades are done for HP3's final shoot tomorrow.

TY guys :)

The final "fit up stages" are here!!!!!


The power supplies for the RED and BLUE side blade EL wires are secured just below the mini atx board! power is sourced from the base of the case and plugs are left to attach to the side panel.

A start can now be made on the plumbing!...

The previously pearl painted pump rad and rear fan can also be added to the cae.

bolt on the RAD and fan........ and it's Fill time!!!

Its a massive RES!!! but the good old MPC600 is up to the challenge!!

I'm not running any coloured coolant this time! i want to let HP3's unique light feature do its thing :)

The Res will be "topped up" :)

A bunch of final work bench shots, the pc will sit with the water running over night to check for leeeks! then tomorrow it's some final wire work... finish the side blades and a final shoot!!!!

Couldn't resist :P
