Project: scrapheap challenge!

[p0Pe]

thx for the +rep all

update about the raddy

finally got some spare time to play with the computer again

and cleaned my desktop

at school i made this for fun and to see how the text would turn out, it was just a quick skecth but i like it

look how thich this plate is 10mm xD took a lot of time to mill

for the raddy mount this was what i made first

i then decided to just make 2 plates that would hold each end

no chance of the mobo suffering of air need

from the rear

again

mounted with theese

and this was a little idea i had, gonna think a bit more about that heh

thats all for now, im wating on reply on how to get the missing parts and hopefully ill soon make enough money to buy em if i cant get something sponsored

until then have fun!

[p0Pe]

just playing with the design for the top, take a look

scanning the drawing in and making it a texture

making splines above the text

correcting measures of splines

extruding the splines to get the text

applying text to a plate

the finished result with a glass plate on the back:

thats what i just got made im thinking of something in the middle under and above the text but didnt get that made today so now im going home

have fun lads^^

[p0Pe]

got the piece thats gonna hold the top and bottom together in each site done... or... i got it measured up and made a drawing

this is how its gonna look

this should be made thirsday and then ill have to get on with making a holder for my harddrives, since i think im gonna order 2 of the danger den hdd blocks wich should fit in one of the compartments

[p0Pe]

finally got the parts done!... my group mate came 2 hours late so suddenly we had alot to do:/.. but i managed to make a little of my own once in a while

the results (no wip sorry... but guess you know the drill):

and this is how they are to be placed:

the wholes i countersunk

so it would look like this

you can really see the milling traces xD... looks kinda cool actually so i think ill keep it this way

and the fun part! tapping dont know why but i love this part

there is only one little problem, you would notice that on the first picture there is a gab between the bar and the plexi... this is why:

... have to countersink this mofo.. but then everything should fit like a glove

and you may have noticed all the closeups... i "borrowed" my sisters cam and went mental... this was what came from that:

that was what i had to offer

comments are highly recommended or else the dog is gonna eat you!

[p0Pe]

the top:

there is gonna be some quick updates until i get the rest of the stuff i need to get cut out drawn down and THEN! good stuff should happene

[p0Pe]

have a look at this

the hoses to the harddrive compartment

and i put it all together after having cleaned and sanded the edges down on the alu pieces i made

that thing is rock solid:O

the large screws is gonna be replaced with some shorter ones... but i didnt have any other xD

and this sucks... i kinda knew it but choose to forget about it:/ have to do some dremel work here... the bit thing has to be clear of the plexi

and some perspective shots

and got a hold of theese 4 cobber pieces gonna use them for something... havent decided what yet

but there are many thing to do with such goddies

cu later hope you like

[p0Pe]

well.. anyway here is some tease pics and a question

do you know if i can plug my laing pump directly to a fancontroller? beacuse i would like to be able to adjust the speed of it since it is really noisy:O its just 12 volt as a normal fan so i would guess its posible... do you know, or should i buy a expensive pump controller (would prefer not xD)

teaser pics of wc loop:

[p0Pe]

well it could be the vibes:/... ill have a look into it.

but couldnt resist updating now!!!

got the hdd holder done

peeling the maskin tape off the aluminium and acrylic was a PITA!.. had to use several fluids to get it off -.- acetone and some other fun stuff that smelled "good"

dremeling! - safty first!

almost made a cut in mum´s bathroom table :O (nobody tells!)

a decent fit IMO

how the whole thing looks! damn i love that thing

sanded with grid 2K and polished

with UV light on

with flash

the whole compartment assembled with and without flash

and some money shots

the leds to the feets and how the alu looks after i sanded it

thats all i have to show really dont know when my final parts come havent heard from the lazer cutter dude yet:/... they are probertly busy doing what the are supposed to (damned!)

have fun

[p0Pe]

update.

what happened:

i got new mobo, new ram, and i got the whole thing assempled only need the top now! and som smaller yeda yeada stuff!

here we goooo (best mario voice)

had to make a smaller opp because my sata power cables wasnt long enough:/

not much to say... the result wasnt nice at all but it works and noone will ever see beneath the motherboard... (i hope)

old dead mobo test fit

under mobo

the whole where all wires comes from!

tryid to make som cable manegement downthere:/... did i succeed?

how the waterblock is gonna sit

outtake from the harddrive compartment.. with just this one fan the drives gets about 32 celcious hot:O... guess its because there is nothing else to heat that compartment up:S

damn:/

yeah.... ram! ram! ramadingdong!

and mobo! wuuusaaaah

with waterblock

in the system with all wires connected:/.. kinda messy

with the little cooler to the chipset because of the watercooling

ready for loop filling!

mhh... i love that card

fluid

trying to boot with the mod in its rightfull place... the screen table is temporary till i get some extention cords

loads of faults:/... had to mess almost everything up just to get the bastard to boot lol!
it was not beacuse of the mobo and chipset change alone^^ it simply wouldnt let me install xp on any drives lol... seemed that the old xp install was fragged, so had to play a bit to get that thing to work so i could repair it and reinstall it... sounds just about as dumb as it was xD

drive testing... booooring

light up

YEEAAAH!!! MAX RES! "lol"

light! LIGHT! YEAH!!!!

this build in res is causing to many probs:/... think ill put it out of the loop... more info to come

harddrive compartment

and finally, after 12 hours the beast was ready to rumble again!... first thing after the new install was a new wallpaper and theme... my god i hate the standard windows -.-

thats all i just had on the camera next update will contain images of:
