Unit 4

well,
Hi folks^^
so first up some things about me: I'm 16 years old living in germany so dont expect well english xD. lets go on now...
yes this mod isn't my first one so im not a modding noob but not a pro like crimson sky or tribaloverkill ;) . Im visiting this forum for about 9 months every day, but today i finally decided to log in here :).
what could you expect here?
well i guess very bad spelling and more worse jokes ;) many pictures of my daily progress and many questionmarks in my replies, because i think im just understanding half of what you are saying, so please be gentle if im rude, i don't want to ;)
so here is it, im gonna build a casemod looking like the unit 4 in tchernobyl, here you go with the case some sketches and some movie shots:
first up the ATX desktop case:

putting in my collected self killed hardware :D

disambling and throwing it all back in ;)

and now the sketches:
the new front:

an overview:

a closer look in the reactor:

well as you can see not many details, but i cant make them in sketchup so u poorly have to wait until im building them cuz i cant explain them :(
so here are the movie shots i made:

and at least my sketch file :

i hope youll like it ;)
greetings :banana:

hehe thank you for beeing so kind with me...
so yesterday evening i decided to create a crappy cardboard model, dont wonder, i'll take the dimensions from the sketches, so here they are:

by the way if you want to learn a sentence german see me and my mod in TV watch this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3PUsyTmRs0

Oo double post aswell....
*opening the dictinary* well lets see....
today i went to the lokal hardware store and buyed *some* modding stuff i need (and yes i know that i have to type the "i" big, my english teacher shouted at me on the last exam but i dont care here :D )
so here's the list of what i bought:
2 fiberglas vinyl's for creating a unique airduct with harder and resin..
normal filling compount
isolatin foam to create the shape of the duct
a protective mask for the disgusting dust while sanding xD
large tiles of *i cant remember that stupid name" wood for the ground shape of the building
a very long flat steel piece, i guess its about 2 and a half meters long, but i cant tell you how many inches they are...
so this is the holy picture of my improved selfmade table and my workspace

buyaa :D
well i was bored yesterday evening so i decided to do this:

with this nice 3D pic. i made some sketch texturing

thanks man :)
i made this sketch late at night a few days past,

and this is what its looks like now

add some mesh... this is not mounted, i need to airbrush the frame and rust the mesh to get this agoprom underground rust look

thats basically all ive done today :D

cage done :D

omg page 2 i got to mod more instead of trying to get this friggin wireles lan working...
so got a hole in the front, dunno if i put windows or ventilation grilles in so heres just zeh hole

at least i got a kewl windowed casemod.. omg this is so standard... almoust every modder has a window *thinking about what else i can do with that*

glued the front panel

so server is up and running, almost perfect as it was
check how straight in line it is

eeeeeeek :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
spider eeeeeeeeek

i hate spiders and i was pretty shocked as i saw it
res holder

res holder glued, need bondo and aof course killer airbrush :D

warning high res pics was to lazy to resize so please forgive me :D
well next newest res layout, water wil flow trough the pipes un the top then in the res, i gues with a window, will look cool i hope

res work... gonna buy plexi somewhen thsi friggin internet works proper

some bondo w000t

dremeling the window out

sanded, but not a final pic

then i primered it with my airbrush and the stupiest named color.. german grey...

thats all *yawn*

res is almost done.. almost >< bondo, arigbrush mounting testing...
but here you go daily progress
angles plexi tubing

marked

bend with hot airgun, needs some glue and some bondo ;)

glued

two hours later... dang that was some though work

and thats how the water flows inside

this is final alligment or what ever this is called :redface:

and it continues.. slowly :(
the res needs some sanding..

first ****ty coat grey, think ill apply some rust there :D

i hope my airbsush komp cools down so i can brush a little more... think im gonne put the res outside cuz its so hot the paint and the glue will dry faster so i cann test it somewhen

see you soon

aigghhh.. custom wc setup as the first time using a wc ever LoL
a quick new pump layout cuz the pzump needs allways water, and i cant deliver it how it is now ><

so... the new idea is, ill gonna build one of these:

and put it on top of the cd drive, will work as an res ill hope i can empty the sys with this and have water in the pump always ^_^

and another one
LoL.. no comment

more lol.. this is the res no 2 which will be on top of the cd drive, practical screw cap so i can fill the wc and remove old smelly radioactive water

i should stop chatting till late at night and go on mod something more :hurt:
but anyways a quick update

glued first side panel.. while im typing this i recognize that i wanted this side removable to the pump :dead: :dead: :dead: so il just will use the front side for accessing :devious: and here my first drybrush experience

jupp updates here
next side panel ready and glued

marking the bottom panel

everything is glued int, ill try to make it a bit waterproof so if some water gets on the loos int wont go to the elektrical stuff (shouls stop listen to KoRn while typing in english its worse anyway :D )

sound and vibration proof, this will be silent ill hope

ok, this is the cover for the cd cover, but i couldnt remove the mainboard because this was to far, so i took out my *i forgot that friggin name*-saw and cut it for about 2mm, but yes this friggin tiles had to remove theriselfes :dead: :dead:

i glued them back, weird that i had some left over... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

guess whos back in my laboratory :eek: :eek:

anyways i marked the hard guy and glued the res, then i ran upstairs, fast :D

i think ill go for the name "parker" mh... or better mary jane? :D :banana:
water cooling block arived, its a used one so there are some bad spots

this needs some polishing

done ^___________^

:banana: htis will be the second res, needs alot of modding before it could move in

the first 30 seconds are relevant and used in every vid ill upload

:D
the base of the res made with mounting foam

marked a hole

holed a hole xD xD

:dead: :dead: :dead: :dead: :think: :dead:
again drilling again tile regluing again some left over :D

the foam was almost dry so i started shaping, but ill have to wait until its complete dry

first coat of bondo, already cut into nice form

thats really all of today

this is what the res shall look like... kind of :D

yooooo, got a brand new water cooling pump, eheim, german quality :D :D

unfortunatly the pump is way bigger than the old one, so ill have to expand the pump housing

:think: :think: :think: looks kinda weird :think: :think:
