WOW….such a great reaction I haven´t expected!!! But such post give me every day the powder to go in the garage and mod.THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Unfortunately I could you show the whole project log, because there are about 2000 pictures. But I will show you some of the important pictures of my work, and if somebody has a special question to something I try to give him a answer with more pictures to this “problem”. I hope it´s ok for you, if not please cry…;-)
Well all started with this sketch in may 2007
After this sketch I built the main frame made of Plexiglas remains. Ready with this I could begin to build the form for the two side panels…
…which looked in my opinion very clean but at the end I had to fill a lot of that the original panels are smooth as a baby´s behind.
All what is inside of the case are separate modules. So I could tested all modules several before I put all together. And now I will show you the modules.
At first the HDD-Case…
…this case is made of Plexiglas and aluminum. At the bottom of the case there is a 80mm fan which cools the three HDDs.
Now some pictures of the radiator…
…how you could see is it cooled by 4 92mm fans (two blow and two suck). At the top of the radiator is a Plexiglas sheet which scatters the light of the LEDs, which are in the Plexiglas.
This is the case for the DVD-drive…
…between this case and the “real” case is a rubber, so the vibrations of it don´t transfer to the case and it´s more silent.
Here you could see the PSU…
…the cable management is self made. I know it´s no problem to buy a PSU with cable management, but at the beginning, when I bought it I didn´t planed the cable management.
Also the Buttons have an own module…
Well and here some pictures of the “main-modul”…
…this is the control-center for the 1300 LEDs. The case with the 14 bushes is a distributor there I stick the several “LED-parts” (front, back, reservoir…) in.
And that you could better imagine how much 1300LEDs are, here 2 pictures of the main frame of the case where only 200 white LEDs shine.
Well and if you put this modules in a white curved case you get the “Sinuskurve”…;-)
I hope this pictures could give you some more impressions of my work. And I hope I find time in the next days to show you my other mods (with a little project log), which I built for the last three years. Which will be all in all five Mods and one internet-radio…
And at least one picture of my first mod, there the next thread is about…
…because looking forward is the best part!
P.S.: If you have the opinion that I make something wrong, please tell it, and I try to make it better in the next post or in the next Casemod.
