Andrew McIntosh Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 Ok, so it seems this works better if you upload the pictures elsewhere, and use the image button to embed them? Right hand side. The tubing is done with 3mm diameter polyurethane tube. Thread some wire into the tube, then bend it into shape. Use a lighter to heat the tube for tighter bends. Prime with plastic primer, then paint. When paint is dry, glue into position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew McIntosh Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 Left hand side The 3 'balls' on either side are made from clear casting resin. I've used an ice cube tray as a mold. Coat the mold with a thin layer of olive oil to stop the resin from sticking. Once resin has cured, remove from mold and wash the oil off. Paint with a translucent paint to act as a diffuser - I have used Montana Gold "Magic White" I have drilled a small hole into the back of these, as small LED lamps will be inserted.

Andrew McIntosh Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 Here's the case stripped back. Drive bays were also removed - though I seem to have misplaced a couple of photos relevant to this post. Hardware installed in photos below. For cooling, Nepton 240m radiator mounted to top of case, configured as exhaust. 2 x 200mm fans mounted to front of case (intake) 140mm fan mounted in base (intake) 120mm fan mounted to rear (exhaust) (There is also a 200mm fan mounted to the side panel, intake airflow for GPUs) Purchased one of the MARS760 new approx 1 year ago. The other was purchased 2nd hand a few weeks ago. Turns out that they have consecutive serial numbers! I guess they were always meant to be together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew McIntosh Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 So, this is what a few old mortice locks look like when you pull them apart. Some of those pieces look like letters.... Which led to this.. Which ended up like this, mounted to top of case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
