Fifas Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 Today I've finished the work on the G25 Then started the electrical instalation. Here testing the position of the power strip Here something I need to explain. To fix all parts together, I use this Allen 'screw' in one side 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 Lets paint Started preparing the new side of the internal box And preparing the power strip for paint After everything painted and dryed, started passing cables from the pedals to the top The monitor stand: And with the monitor base in place Detail of front vinyl with my nick And finally assembled the G25 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifas Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 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 Look at the PSU, there's literally no space for a bigger one Here, trying new places for the HDD And my new fans...CoolerMaster SickeFlow Blue Really beautiful fans! (Sorry for the dust...Working space ) 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 90º plexi And need to change this (oh god...)...this thing don't know it's name So, picked my tools and CUT Just a little Then sanded and prepared for painting And here, already painted Then started assembling my connectors And finished here today....Almost done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozensnail Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 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!

Fifas Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 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! 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 Connector out Soldering... Don't forget the heatshrink tubing And last, installed the "quick swap" connector (I will explain this ) And assembled everything back Finnaly, I received new MDF for the base! Started cutting And started assembling the pieces that will fix the base in the outside case fixing the PSU And this is for the rad Next, started painting, and while the paint didn't dry, started working in the CPU's Block LEDs Some sleeving And here, almost painted! The screws for the seat rails Next, did a little clean to my graphics card And started assembling the hardware in the "inside box" (Random photos ) After the paint dried, I've started assembling the hardware in the "outside box". Starting with the rad Rad Placed... Here the extension's connectors 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifas Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 Here's a very small update! The front/top structure is almost ready. Missing the cover from the Monitor Received this today... Turn it on for testing and.....GEEEZ, that's a lot of light! I never though this will had so many light. I need to control it in some way... :dremel: 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: Next filled the watercooling and started searching for leaks... And some random shots. Back to work now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
