Hello there!

On to the pictures!

First materials.

Just like with my other mod, I' m doing a lot in my kamer.

The first part of the frame

A bit more height

Voila.

UPDATE 2

Looks like a corner to me

The diference with TKC. Even bigger

Now I had the mainframe but there is another! It comes in the other frame.

Frame 2

Voila.

The result

A little picture of my pet! My friend Karel always helps me emotionally

UPDATE 3

Not much to tell. Just watch the pictures.

First i had been bussy with the mobo tray. I needed a voluntaire and I found one.

First of all the thing was too long.

After we treatend it with the grinder. The finish will be better , don't worry!

Then it must be attached in the main frame. This has been done with two simple profiles and some rivets.

Time for some 5.25'' bays. Again with some profiles.

The piece were they will be attached to.

Plop Plop and stuck!

Two little brackets were he will be supported.

And done incl. drive.

Same story for the PSU bracket.

Let see what we have accomplished.

With PSU and an old DVD-drive.

And another one. Don't worry about the PSU. It's improved later on.

I already made a setup for the 4x40 LCD.

This is the TFT which will be sitting in the front.

Next time I w'll go on with the frame. See you then

[TEAMIKKE]

UPDATE 4

Here are the designs of the plates.

Front and Back

Top and bottem

Inside

Left and right

A picture with the hardware which will go in Demission

Think you can quess what will happen here

And the frame again next to the other mod. Later on it will become clear howe big it really is.

Stuff arrived!

-Gigabyte P965-DS3 mobo.
-E6300
-Twinmos PC 6400 DDR2 2x512 mb

After some playing
E6300@ 3.2Ghz.
7950GT Mem: Normal: 1400. Now: 1500
7950GT Core: Normal: 550 Now: 600

Pictures!

The package.

Nice box!

What's inside?

hmmm.. need something better than that.

Mem.

First I had to clean the case

Look! It's a door.

Stupid Q-tec PSU's. Make room for some real PSU

Closed and clean.

It works!

Although it's installed in the other case, it will be installed in Demission when it's finished. So on to the next update!

[TEAMIKKE]

UPDATE 6

Hi there! I've won some fans with a competition.

Noctua's! I'm going to use the 120mm. In total there are comming 7 of them in the case. I really love those things.

Next step was the begining of some interesting on the right-side of the case. Most cases are just plain at that side and I don't like that. So i came up with something. Later on wil it be clear what these are.

6 little MDF pieces.

Next is the HD-suspension.

cut

Result

That's ugly as ****! So I scrapped that and came up with a verry simple idea which will be shown later on.
K.I.S.
Keep it simple

Let's have a look at that TFT! It's opened with a special bit. Luckely I have some.

Aha! The 5 volt line.

Next up is the mobotray. It's verry sharp now. First I sanded it down but it's not perfect yet. So I took some wiring, cut it by half en presto.

Result

Next up: Plates!

[TEAMIKKE]

UPDATE 7

Finally some interesting stuff! The plates have arrived. Let's see.

2 big parcel's. One with ''garbage'' on it which are some scrappieches. Always handy Going to use them for some accents.

The other one with the real parts.

The bottom on top.

A little bit more.

It's starting to look like something.

It's a mirror! Not

That's it for now. More plates next time.

Comments are welcome!

[TEAMIKKE]

UPDATE 8

More plates! Both sides this time

Against the frame.

Looks a bit odd, right? Well I haven't finished them yet.

This is the shape it will be.

In the mean time I recieved a parcel!

What's inside?

Noctua! :rock:

Together with the other 2.

And here they are wating for use.

There all Noctua NF S-12-800 fans. The whole thing is going to run without fans but they are handy for those hot summerdays and it just looks better with fans on a radiator. Actually there are comming 2 radiators in this case A 360 ánd a 480! More in the next post

[TEAMIKKE]

Here we go again.

First some good tools. Nice saws for ALu and corners for the frame.

Also bouht some wheels. Not the most pretiest but they were cheap and you won't see them in the end.

The beginning of the 5.25'' bays. I make them out of some scrap ALu.

Sawed

Drawing.

Cutted.

Without the plates.

With plates. Don't worry about the scratches! Later on the thing will be sanded down. But it's not perfect, is it? So alter on I did them again.

Next up were those wheels. First I had to find out where they came.

On the corners. How original Drwaing, but it went wrong. Luckely I finded out on time.

Done. It lies on the top of the case.

Because the wheels are about 2.5 cm high you'll get a gap of 2.5cm unter the case which isn't pretty. So I came up with something. I'm going to lower the case. Pimp my case!

Drawing

Drilled

How it comes. The plate were the wheels are going to be attached to is a few cm higher than the plate which forms the bottem (sorry for crappy explenation)

Toen moesten die plaatjes vast in het hoofdframe. Dus die moest ook op de operatietafel.

Next up: The sidepanels! First I had to mark them.

Both sides.

Done. Needs stil a bit of sanding.

How it's going to look.

That's it for now! See you next time folks

[TEAMIKKE]

Update 9

I began working on the sidepanel. First I had to made a little piece which helps me to make a nice circle. I haven't got a passer which can create a circle of 60cm

This is the shape The thing in the middle is my sign for this case. It doesn't mean anything but I like it. Designed it myself.

Tape off the sides which prevents scratches.

Takes a while to saw.

The other side.

Another piece.

Voila.

Sanded

Lot off scrapmetal

Under the shower to wash of the brames etc.

I wiped those stripes away with some Thinner.

Gone.

On the case.

Size-comparrison with a normal midi-tower.

That's it for now. Hope you like it

[TEAMIKKE]

UPDATE 11

On the other fora were all those plates together an update so I have to jump to number 11 to get it alligned again.

This will be the airflow from the case. Red = HD's. There is only room for 5 but okay. Green are fans and blue = radiator.

Made a little helppiece again for some nice circle's.

Voila.

Next up: HD mountings. This is the meaning.

Drawing.

Saw

Not done yet So next is the PSU. It need's a frame.

Done

With an old PSU

A little step further. But in the end I didn't like that thing so it's removed.

Next up: Some sanding. Not to much though.

After a time of sanding.
Kinda brushed Not the finished result though. The whole thing is going to be powdercoated so it all will be sanded down with water.

Here I made a few plates for the PSU frame.

Sides

Bottem and top

Sawed en sanded (sides)

The plate where the 360 will go in.

Next time more platework!

Please some comments about what you think of the project. Very curious

See you next time!

[TEAMIKKE]

UPDATE 12

Well a bit late but I was on holiday so sorry for that. It's also a small one because I had to sand en fill a lot which takes a lot of time.

Both Frames together.

With some plates. It's not perfect so they have changed later on.

Wheels!

With the bottemplate.

With one side lose on it.

When the top is ready, you'll get a better image of the thing.

See you next time (which will be tomorrow I think)!
