Today I've finished the work on the G25

Then started the electrical instalation. Here testing the position of the power strip

DSC_3445.JPG

Here something I need to explain. To fix all parts together, I use this Allen 'screw' in one side

DSC_3448.JPG

And a regular screw goes inside it on the other side

Assembled the gearbox/mouse tray

And placed the gearbox

Sorry, don't know the name of this, but it's for cable management :D

DSC_3463.JPG

Lets paint :D

DSC_3464.JPG

Started preparing the new side of the internal box

DSC_3466.JPG

And preparing the power strip for paint :D

After everything painted and dryed, started passing cables from the pedals to the top

The monitor stand:

And the cable management continues

The "new" black power strip

And the hidden USB HUB, with lots of cables and zip ties

And then, started working on a little "extra". This will be placed in the monitor, with some LEDs for showing the RPMs and a 7segment display for showing the Gears.

So, today did a little update. Not too much, but I've found most of the materials I need to make the new base

Started by measuring everything

DSC_3529.JPG

Look at the PSU, there's literally no space for a bigger one :D

DSC_3531.JPG

Here, trying new places for the HDD

DSC_3534.JPG

And my new fans...CoolerMaster SickeFlow Blue

DSC_3535.JPG

Really beautiful fans! (Sorry for the dust...Working space :oops: )

DSC_3538.JPG

And my custom made grill...Lovely!

Also, disassembled the seat "rails" (I think thats the proper name), because they are a little rusty...Going to sand and paint

This is a very cool driving seat / case mod & the work you have put into this is original & worthy contender from what I've seen, can't wait to see the finished project in all its glory!

Thanks mate! :wink:

And after a really busy weekend, did some more work on the base

Starting by disassembling the PSU. Because I didn't have much space inside the case, I've decided to remove the connector from the PSU and solder the "new" connector directly inside

DSC_3581.JPG

Connector out

DSC_3582.JPG

Soldering...

DSC_3583.JPG

Don't forget the heatshrink tubing

DSC_3584.JPG

DSC_3585.JPG

And last, installed the "quick swap" connector (I will explain this :D)

DSC_3586.JPG

And assembled everything back

DSC_3587.JPG

DSC_3589.JPG

Finnaly, I received new MDF for the base!

DSC_3590.JPG

Started cutting

DSC_3591.JPG

And started assembling the pieces that will fix the base in the outside case

DSC_3594.JPG

fixing the PSU

DSC_3596.JPG

And this is for the rad

DSC_3601.JPG

Next, started painting, and while the paint didn't dry, started working in the CPU's Block LEDs

DSC_3607.JPG

Some sleeving :D

DSC_3608.JPG

DSC_3609.JPG

DSC_3615.JPG

And here, almost painted!

DSC_3616.JPG

The screws for the seat rails

DSC_3579.JPG

Next, did a little clean to my graphics card

DSC_3620.JPG

And started assembling the hardware in the "inside box" (Random photos :P)

DSC_3621.JPG

DSC_3624.JPG

DSC_3626.JPG

DSC_3628.JPG

After the paint dried, I've started assembling the hardware in the "outside box". Starting with the rad

DSC_3630.JPG

Rad Placed...

DSC_3633.JPG

Here the extension's connectors

DSC_3635.JPG

And last, started assembling the watercooling....Need some more tubing and curves, but for now this will work :blush:

And that's it for today..More news tomorrow :wink:

Here's a very small update!

The front/top structure is almost ready. Missing the cover from the Monitor :D

DSC_3511.JPG

Received this today...

DSC_4021.JPG

Turn it on for testing and.....GEEEZ, that's a lot of light! :D I never though this will had so many light. I need to control it in some way... :dremel:

DSC_4024.JPG

So I start building this! This is connected to an Arduino, and will control the FANs and LEDs. It is still a prototype, so it's kinda ugly. After testing I'll make a nice PCB :thumb:

DSC_3648.JPG

Next filled the watercooling and started searching for leaks...

DSC_3656.JPG

And some random shots.

Back to work now :D
