After a long time of being not so active in this forum i want to share our newest project with you, up to now we call it STORM.
We started a few days ago with this unspectacular big tower case (its not spectacular, but it has a removeable mainboard tray) which we got from ebay
Because its huge like a stacker we decided to build in some kickass hardware (we didnīt decide which hardware exactly up to now) with a big watercooling loop, 2 or 3 radiators (3x120 + 2x120 + maybe another 3x120) and 2 optical drives.
So at first we stripped the case down to its raw body to see how everything would fit and in which way we are gonna make the one or other thing....
then we made 2 small mounting brackets out of some alloy stripes which we use to mount the radiator on the bottom of the frame. This was necessary to prevent the radiator from falling down on the next image and it prevents that the radiator could be shaked out of its position when moving the case.....
as next we bend some alloy stripes into the right angles so that we could mount the 2 optical drives with them on the outside of the case....
beside that we also bended some of those stripes to hold another radiator in front of the case, then we painted everything inside white except the radiators they get a fresh black paintjob...
The Top of the case also gets a first cutout
one of the last things we could do up to now was to build a first water reservoir which will be attached directly to the pump to prevent it from sucking air....and to make the filling process a little bit easier....
