    Default Project "A-51"

    This will be my next project, the work title is „A-51“.

    It will be inspired by Area 51 and all those spooky stories around it…. The Rig is build from parts of some normal ATX Midi Towers which I already converted to a WTX like "case" and some 90° aluminium bars.

    It will get a huge side+top Window and a lot of eyecatching details in the inside of the case.

    Up to now I already have done some of the gadgets I will built in, like an motorized “Iris” which regulates the airstream from a stealth mounted Fan under it.
    But enough of the words here are the first pictures of it ….more will follow in the next days….











    and here are some more pictures....

    here are some pictures from my "Iris" in the first version....




    the 2 water reservoirs...




    and this is a backplate i made for a fan controll and some controll switches which i need to controll the iris and the fan below.....



    some shots from the backside of the case




    a view from top to ground.....


    a first cooler experiment which i build for the Northbridge of the system...


    just a small update with the small radar screen on his place with some light on.....

    and i´ve made a small video from my "iris".....at the moment everything is a little bit fast but i will slow the movement down in the later progress....





    Video

    i made a first part of the sidepanels which will be placed on the bottom part of the case.......
    inside i will place a huge fan which will cool down the radiator which i will use for the watercooling system.....

    Wow this looks like it's gonna be really good. I like that the inside is a diorama of sorts. You should try making some UV plastic and making it look like the one resevoir has spilled out onto the floor, since it is 'broken'.

    in the last days i decided to change a few things.....like the DVD Drive which is now mounted outside of the case in the sidepanel....





    itīs now only thrown in to see if everything would work ..... in the next steps i will build something to mount the drive correctly...
