thechoozen Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Hy, this is my "little Worker". It´s completely made of aluminium with a custom watercooling setup. It´s made as host computer for my 3D Printer, therefor the name. I choosed an really open design for this case, so that it always gets enough fresh air too stay cool even through long printing sessions in a warm enviroment But enough of the words...here are the first pictures the design of the case was mainly developed while building it, but i made one sketch before i start with the building process... after that i started to cut out the Mainboardtray from a huge sheet of aluminium... beside that i also started to cut out the first sheds, which will be used for the front of the case then, after finishing all the needed Cutouts in the mainboardtray, i bended the lower section of the tray... and i also bended the first set of sheds.... As next i started to take some measurements of the radiator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechoozen Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 The next step was, that i cutted out the last sheds for the front and bended them, so that all the sheds for the front has the same angles... After that i switched back to the radiator...and cutted it into pieces.... then it was time to check if the measurements were correct as next i started to build the main frame on which everything else should be mounted on....

thechoozen Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 time for the next update: after assembling the frame for the first time, i did a few tests to see if all parts would fit like suggested (fans, psu etc.) after that i started to give the radiator a new shape.... i also made a base on which the radiator will be mounted...

thechoozen Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 after mounting the radiator on the base i continued with the Front of the case....First i had to cut a few massive aluminium parts so that i could weld them together as a frame in which i could mount the prepared sheds.... After that i took an old Coolermaster Sidepanel and made a big cutout in it, so that i could use it as a sidepanel for the right side of the case.... as next i mounted the Frontgrill on the sidepanel and i also prepared the left sidepanel.... then i continued with Top&Bottom for the Case..... After finishing the preparations on the Top & Bottom Part, i made a grill for the Top.... The next step was that a few more preparations had to be done....so i had to cut out a few more massive aluminum parts for the feets of the case, beside that i cutted out a few plexiglas pieces to build a custom watercooling reservoir and i drilled a few Blowholes in the bottom so that i could mount 2 Fans there, the radiator gets brushed and the sheds of the Top Grill were bended.... and then, finally the time to mount the hardware comes....
