Gothic Cooler Mod by Filimon
Filimon, the member who brought us The Steampunk Mouse, and The Stainless Mouse, has given us another custom metal treat.
Project: Gothic Cooler is an amazing piece of custom fabricated metal to cool your PC. Because Filimon speaks very little English [Could be zero], he lets pictures of his work do the talking for him. I thought it was about time we had some questions answered about how he works, so I took a moment and sat down with Filimon for a one on one interview:
D_Stilgar: Filimon, Where do you get your inspiration for mods? Is there a website, or book, or movie that has had a great impact on your modding?
Filimon: I get inspiration for my mods from movies and pictures by science fiction painters. Such movies as "Terminator", " Stargate" and "Last Exile" impressed me.
D: You do a lot of metal work in your mods. Where did you learn to do that? Did you take a class, is it part of your job, or or you learn as go?
F: I have never attended special courses which are connected somehow with metal processing. It's just a little part of my job.
D: How often in the build did you make a major mistake that required you to do a large section of the mod over again? How do you deal with minor mistakes during the build?
F: I very rarely make mistakes. I always try to think over every step beforehand. As for minor mistakes I correct them during the build.
D: In one of your pictures it shows a disc cutter. Besides a Dremel, what tools do you use to fabricate the pieces?
F: I don't use Dremel in my work. I use professional tools. I've got a turning lathe and a milling machine. I also have an opportunity to use a steel – foundry furnace. Most details for my mods I make with my own hands.
D: The cooler is amazing. Is it ever going to see itself in a completed case of the same theme? The community is on bated breath for this answer.
F: I haven’t got much free time and I make my mods at work that’s why I make only small mods not big ones.
