    A new day, new opportunities =)

    As mentioned , more then 20 meters(!!!) of 25x25x2mm aluminium have been cut up today in appropriate lenghts..

    The welding will start the upcoming thursday most likely, some results will finally show by then, OCZ have sendt 3x of their hyrdoflow aswell today, so should receive them sometime soon










    Placed up the stuff i allready received just to see if everything fit as it should, and it really seem promissing this far, however... the middle mobo tray is rotated the wrong way have to cut and fit it to the mATX standard first








    Next week this little fella will be visited =)


    And for those of you that wanna see how a CNC Hecksaw works, click here

    And a small view of the plating thats been ordered ^^

    Time to pick stuff appart! YAaAaaY!

    For some reason is having a front mounted screen really cool and hip these days... so how could this project be anything less =)

    Front mounted screens are supposedly used for computer monitoring or something...

    In the lack of something better to do i decided to get the planned screen out of its precious little hideout...

    Todays victim :

    1x HP Compaq EVO 620


    With the outrageous :

    1.5ghz dual core pentium M
    1gb memory
    80gb hdd
    15.5" LCD screen

    it even comes with a xp home licence

    And yes... i know it will count up as a 4th computer... but hey... need something to run the screen aswell 0.o

    Ran out of time, ill do a write up later =) enjoy the pics for now

    Hi again guys !

    Had some more time at my hands so have been able to work a bit more on the screen and towards making some screen mounts to align the screen flat on the laptop, u wouldnt believe how small the screws used for stuff like this is .... talking about a half mm tick or something.... such a pain in the ass to get ahold off in the local stores





    Found a decent 1mm alu plate down in the working area... cut off a suitable piece and drilled some holes to get the screen attached..


    Crazy small...




    Screen mounted up in its vertical position =) hopefully this should look good







    Aaand the other side =)










    There we go.... screen mounted up on the laptop, just flipped over the opposite was as normal, still have to solder some wires for the on/off button and the thumbstick =)




    Another thing that came to my attention today was the lian li brackets placed beneath the disk holders... that allow the holder to be removed from its baseplate... in my little world cant i really see the use of stuff like this beside taking alot of space... a decent 2 cm buildup on each of em...








    U can see the height difference quite well... they have to go...









    8 done... gotta love hecksaws... *truly hate em* -.-

    should be able to start putting the rack together tomorrowish =) so a large update will come by then

    x88x : a touch panel would be sweet throw me a pm if u see someone selling it, untill then ill just have to move the thumbpad outside the case or use BT =)

    Just got a mail from my iron monger, some of the aluminium will arrive tomorrow afternoon, expect a update soon folks =) should also get 4x 360 radiators along with the alu...

    Have to figure out how many loops that will be needed when considering the practical aspect

    Current plans for watercooling would be :

    2x 4870x2
    1x 4870 - 1GB
    8x DDR3 OCZ FlexX
    4x DDR2 OCZ FlexX
    3x CPU's
    3x chipset's, not sure about this one yet though, but stuff tends to get hot without any fan's mounted to the CPU =)

    unknown amount of and reservoirs , pumps will be needed aswell
