WOW. I love how you cut the text out of that strip above the motorised grill. Very nice attention to detail.

yea....tb4o i agree
stupid question... whats it say ???
Thanks :) It says "alien hospital" ;)
It says Alien Hospital.
*EDIT*
Double post lol.
I can't believe I only found this build last night. Awesome work so far. +rep
i guessed that it said that but wanted to make sure...
Damn! (Yeah, that pretty much says it.) +rep!

Did some work on 2 CO2 tanks, i think those are fine to act like medical gas tanks.
I started with these holders, nice, but i wasn't able to find a proper way of fitting the tanks into them.
So i made new ones, holding both tanks together.
Some plastic, a thumbscrew, black tubing, bicycle brake hose and a bicycle-valve-closing-cap-whatever-you-may-call-it made a nice valve/connector for the tank :)
A picture after building another valve, and finishing the plastic holders. Note that they're unpainted now. I think some black paint will do fine for them :)
You can fasten the tanks with the bolt in the center of the holder.
Something for the next update: motherboard tray.
WOW man, detail +1. +rep for the awesome tanks.
detail is the key man...
you have the key
That just looks amazing. Awesome attention to detail. +rep
LOVE THE IDEA FOR THOSE TANKS! +rep
Love the tanks, good work !
Just wanted to say that this is currently one of my favorite mods, and I am itching for an update.
I second that, Alien Hospital has been one of those epic builds that everyone loves. _ferry_'s crafting skills have made the project all the more appealing.Quote:

I, too, and dying for an update... I love the buttons.
Thank you very much guys! My modshop was very messy, so instead of modding i spend some time on cleaning the **** up and spend some time on other projects. (some LED lightning for our home) But here's a update, got the basics of the motherboard tray/backplate done:
The backplate came from a donor offcourse. A a.c. ryan acrylic case.
It's not the same shine as chrome or polished metal, so i might better paint it black.
Fits well :)
Note there is only a little space between motherboard and the top of the case. But there is plenty of space on the side of the motherboard for cables and water tubes. Maybe even a ps1 display will fit in this part. But first i'll return to the co2 tanks, to get them fit in the side of this case.
Mounting of the motherboard tray.
Lookin Nice, Cant Wait To See More
Well, you have been busy. This is really starting to take shape, keep it up.
my net is insanly slow atm so only have the pics loaded... but from what i can see nice work man
I love this project. Keep it coming bro.

Hi guys!
I'm not dead, neither the casemod, but i had so much other projects to do that this mod had a lower priority. (airbrushing my bike for example.
But i had some time the past week, so i finished the gas tanks. Sorry, but i ain't got any in-progress pics of it. More pics soon or later.
Looks dangerous right? I'll ad 2 small biohazard logo's on the tanks when i have some glue for it :lick:
wow that looks really nice mate.. keep up the good work
Your right mate, it does look dangerous, and pure awesome. +rep
Cool details, really nice. I like them very much.
CO2 chargers was a stroke of genius. +Rep.
Hey guys, i got a large update for ya:
I wanted a addition to the chassis, at the right side of the motherboard, something techie, this is where i cam up with:
The PCB's are placed with a spacer in between. Note that behind this piece holes should be created for cables and air circulation
I stole some PCB material from a old GF 4200TI videocard. 1 of my first videocards, killed by some heavy cooling/OC'ing ;)
The result.
Meanwhile i ordered some WC'ing stuff, a extra radiator, hose, hose connectors, 2 fan's and a Laing Pump.
Let's mod it :P
Checking out dimensions and lay-out....
To end up with this. 4 small holes, 1 for pump, 1 for a "controller" and the 2 larger ones are for flow indicator and reservoir.
The same design will return at the sidepanel, acting as a window.
PS: do you see the missstake i've made? I'm thinking how to cover it up.
I already drilled some holes in the acrylic top, but now i need to remove some acrylic to ensure a good fit.
This is the reason why. Without milling the acrylic top the aluminum sheet on the left couldn't fit behind the window.
Yeah, it still fits ;)
Mounted 1 fan because i wanted to see how it looks. I'm working on a aluminum ring to get rid of the empty space around.
But i'd better keep my mind on the watercooling, because i ordered some acrylic as well:
Building the reservoir and flow sensor.
Which fit's here.
And these acrylic tubes are for the next update
WOW, what an update, everything is looking fantastic my friend, very awesome work. Excellent work on that cover next to the mobo, I have a 4200TI laying around, mine works though lol. The rear panel is also looking fantastic, should look amazing when finished, and yes I can see your mistake, the extra hole you drilled ;). I can't wait for more mate, this is one of my all time favorite mods.
Glad to see some progress! Great work as usual, looking forward to the next update!
Awesome! Love how clean and shiney those fans look!

Thanks guys!
Worked on the acrylic tubing and the flow indicator yesterday and today.
First i started with a extra connection for the hose connector. I didn't want to make the G1/4 threat in the flow indicator directly, this makes it stronger and fail safe: If it would break, then my flow indicator wouldn't ;)
Creating the first flow indicator. First? Yeah, it ain't that easy so this is more like a test. Just testing and being creative ;)
FAIL!
Modifying the acrylic adds a lot of material stress. So when gluing it together it's starts cracking.... Test ;)
This one makes it more clear.
Also glue fumes in the drilled hole adds extra cracks.
But i took this saw and made some new ones, a sharp blade and the automatic water cooling removes any material stress.
All that's left is some snow-like dust.
Look! No cracks!
Off course the flow indicator needs some kind of guiding rail. To fit it, and being able to remove it (for tuning the weight of the indicator) i want to clamp it in 2 small centered holes.
Dremel to the rescue.
I'm glad that acrylic is flexible, i can clamp it between the 2 centering holes, 2 rubber rings are attached, not knowing if i need them anyway.
I want you...
To let me know which design is the best.... I've made 3 basic indicators, red, green, and a double sided black one.
Off course they're unfinished. The red one is polished, but 20mm wide, it should be a bit less to prevent it touching the walls. I can do that after drilling a hole in the center. Need to take them to my work for a good centered hole.
And after that i can add some details as well. Maybe drilling 4 holes from top to bottom, maybe even with a angle that could make the indicator spinning around. (not 100% sure it's gonna work)
So let me know what kind of color, or other suggestions, would be nice to build this case together with TBCS ;)
i dont really understand how the flow indicator is going to be put together :/ but IMO the red looks best.
how about 2 peices of clear, with red in the middle and in the ends?
great work in the other update:D
Those are really really cool, I can't wait to see how they turn out.
I'll try to explain:Quote:

This will create a flow and due to the design the flow at the bottom is higher then the flow at higher point. So if the indicator has the correct weight/resistance he'll be hanging somewhere in the middle of it.
On the shaft in the middle I'll fit one of the indicators. Without the shaft he won't be hanging in the middle of the flow but floating all around in the box. That's why i need to drill a hole trough the center of the indicator.
My only concern about red is that red is quite dark. On photos there's a lot of light, at the casemod there won't. So red would be almost black.
I just noticed I missed a lot of progress here, looking very good. I'm also anxious to see how the flow indicator will turn out, it sounds inventive :)
Do i need to explain how [insert nasty words here] i'm feeling?
I just drilled the last 3 holes for in/outlets, and offcourse, at the last damn hole the drill took a bite into the acryl.
I made special blocks to prevent this when tapping the g1/4 threath, and it has never happened before, and now..... :twisted::evil::dead::mad:
I can cut off the res from the flow indicator and try to glue on a new one. But i don't know if i can hide the junction between reservoir and flow indicator.
Just came accross this project and wow is it awesome! Fantastic work.
And in answer to your question.....
Well I'm partial to red personally, but for this build, i definitely think green is the way to go. the black may be a little hard to see, since the background will be black. Plus, I spotted a green fan in one of those pictures a while back.....
