The First Finished Project
I've started modding cases multiple times,but never finished one,due the loss of interest,or some other reason. But this project is different,the planning is to finish it someday,I have a pretty clear picture how it is gone be.
That's why I named this project "The First Finished Project", the whole idea came after seeing an old bookcase wich was made of 8mm transparent lexaan.
The idea was to make a cubus with the following dimensions 30*30*30, the final dimensions aret 26*26*26 because of the size of the motherboard.
Below is one of the first drawings (by hand)
The front will be made of 8mm blue UV plexiglas,the back of 3mm black plexiglas, the rest will be 8mm transparent lexaan (its a hell to saw it,but it will be worth all the work)
The lighting will mostly be UV CCFL or LEDs can't choose.
At the top of the case there a 120mm fan will take care of the hot air exhausting.
The motherboard is placed in the middle,below will house 3 hardisk,powersuply and the dvd-rom.
Test-fitted the hardware,you can draw it as many times as you like,but I couldn't get the whole picture in my head.The dvd will probaly become an slot-in dvd burner.
*The front off the case*
All cables are still very long, gonna de-solder them all, and re-wire everything.
*The backside,without the connector cut-outs*
The hdd's / dvd-rom and the powersuply will trade places
*GPU fan-grill*
*Switches*
Took this switches from an old alarmclock
*CPU fan*
Verry little space between the CPU-fan and the top of the case.
*Powersuply fans*
- Creating ventilation holes with fans
- HDD holder
- Fanducts to cool the hdd/powersuply
- 120mm fan-holder on top of the case
- Re-wire everything
- and a lot more
