How much was the bender? And what materials will it bend?

[CorsePerVita]

Looking really good! Your attention to detail is impressive. I like how you mounted the digital readout a page back. I also like how you cut out the layover material. The finished product will look really good. I dig it! Very nice! I've been browsing case mods all night, you guys are making me wanna go bonkers and get back into this stuff. Been SO long since I've done a serious mod on a case... but it's very very tempting.

€130. Work-width 630mm and can fold steel sheet up to 1.2mm and similar materials up to 1.5mm

Thanks a lot, why did you stop? cant imagine to stop, have so much ideas

Sleeve Update:
Today there's rain in the netherlands, a lot of rain, so a good excuse to go sleeving
For this I'm gonna renovate my Be quiet my 1200w power. This was one of the first PSU I've ever sleeved. And in the meantime, I've learned some things to do a beter sleevejob
Renovation work includes: giving cables the same size, heatshrink equal size, tighten the sleeve on the wires and add a color.

Just a little tip, if you start using a light color sleeve, it is best to use same color electrical tape around the wire as the sleeve color
This is because the color of the wire always stands out. Orange, black etc. you can see the color through the sleeve
Not shocking but "no compromise"

Yellow sleeve............ yellow insulation tape

Now you see no other color through the yellow

All black heatshrinks renovated

And the wires of the PSU are finished, did also extend the wires for this big case

placed and arranged

Now the modular cables, with the same color scheme

More to come

Most of my interests moved away from the pc modification side of things and ended up in the car world where most of my hobby work goes. However, in the past year or so... I've started to get back into it. I started a basic mod on my computer case and got sidetracked. However I plan on an upgrade soon. Probably within the new few months. More than likely when I do I'm thinking a computer mod may end up being in the works

Seeing so many ideas on here and that people haven't stopped doing this has been really cool. I remember wayyyyyy back in the day when I was a part of TMCM and really enjoyed the hell out of it so it's really cool to see people still doing this stuff.

By the way, nice update! This project is really coming along!

Update: First cut in the TJ

Hi my modding friends. Did my first cutout in the TJ
For the cpu power, needed to make the hole bigger for the connector

Now it fits trough

Also did some nice things for the midplate. Second cutout in the TJ

There goes the midplate :naughty: second part for the midplate is the aluminium cover
Made some slots for all the cables

Third part is the yellow acryl, also made some slots in it. There's gonna be more, but for now only where the cables goes through

And the last layer......... the black acryl

Still need to do little adjustments to the acryl, but looking good allready
Put some cables through.

Today my next GTX480 was coming in, so placed it. For now without the WC block
EK has given my the third block with some other beautifull stuff, so this one is still coming

So made the last gpu slot

I know, a lot of black and yellow............hope you like it ;
Hopefully my EK products and the MNPC Carbon is coming in this week, to let you show some more great stuff.

Sponsor Update: EKWB

This week I received a very nice package with even beautifull products in from EKWB

The package (always nice to receive packages)

Containing a fine collection of WC stuff

First a nice Coolstream360 radiator.
EK-CoolStream RAD XT (360)

3x EK-FC480 GTX Backplate Black

2x EK DCC Top with 140 reservoir
EK-DCC X-RES 140

The last Block for the GTX480
EK-FC480 GTX

Placed the DCC tops on the MCP355

Instead of 140mm reservoirs I’m gonna useEK-Multioption RES X2 - 250 Basic

Like this

The GPUs will be connected to the front res, need to adjusting the black acrylic to get a straight line to the inlet of the reservoir

The outlet of the pump is going down through the midplate to a draining point, and so on to the radiators

I also have placed the back plates and installed the last block on the GPU's. Always looks nice

And placed everything

EKWB thank you for making this update / build possible

[diluzio91]

WOW!!! Looking good. Why not get some single slot covers for the GPUs? It would help add to the clean look.
