_ferry_ Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 Thanks all beautiful case, only thing that kept bugging me was that the top panel was contrasted with the side panels so you can tell where one begins and one ends. You probably need it there for support but if you can some how stealth it up it would look much cooler. You mean the steel top of the lower stacker? Yeah, that one is made of steel. Different revision. A bit dissapointing, because the upper one is made of aluminium. But if it would be switched it would have been much worser. Four months and counting..... Yeah, I would love to see the finished work! well, even longer, the first idea came up on the 30th of August But it hase been on hold for some time, and i switched from a single centurion to the dual stacker, great improvement I'm almost having enough done to give you an update. (the PSU and rear of the case) I'm going to work as hard i can to get the PC up and running on the end of july. I't cant be completely finished then i'm now on 40% i guess. But if it's working i can participate to the CM casemod contest, and Campzone in the netherlands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_ferry_ Posted June 29, 2005 Author Share Posted June 29, 2005 update Past day's the weather was perfect, so i've been modding in the sunlight. The finished ATX cable, i hope i placed them back in the right way Finally i used the meshX panel. I've forgotten to show where it's used for. A suprise for the next time The carton board replaced by aluminium. Offcourse it will be sprayed black, but i had to drill some holes in it before doing that. I made this today, it hasn't transparency, it's just reflection of my fingers beyond it. It was yust a experiment, so i polished it afterwards, bad idea, you can't polish the corners. Well, i just gonna use it, if it look bad, i will make a new one. I guess this would look much better than seeing the radiator and both PSU's. There will be a black sheet of alu on top of it, to hide the eges of the grill. This one is 11cm in height, the other one will be 35cm. And it's realy time expansive, it keeps me busy while i'm on holyday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_ferry_ Posted July 2, 2005 Author Share Posted July 2, 2005 Short update (and almost 200'th photos ) It wasn't going like i wanted to do, some parts were damaged, and 2 tools died. But this is the result: A short test of how i'm gonna finish the grill, offcourse the rear plate and sides will be painted black. a fit-test. these plates will be mounted on both sides of the reservoir, the plexiglass will be equipped with some led's to let it glow. The way it should be, i need to order my second eheim 1048 soon. the junction between the plexi tube and sides need some finishing up. But i want it to be hardened first. But it seems to be leak proof That's it for now, next update will be about an week, when i'm back from hollyday. Yes, i gonna mod there. When i return, i should have the watercooling and rear side finished. And maybe much more done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_ferry_ Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 I've got an large update, 37 pics. I hope you enjoy Thuesday 5juli: This was my temp. workspace, i took a lot with me, many tools, plexiglass, components, some hardware and the PC offcourse. First a small problem to solve, the cables from the casefan couldn't get hide beyond a piece of the frame or something like that. So i decided to make a double wall. A short try to moount the cable's on this way, a piece of steel wire to get them on the mesh. The reservoir, quite less space between. So i think i will cut off 5mm from the bottom. I broke the strip witch is between the 2 cases, the plexi ain't that strong (i knew that before, but i forgot ) Wensday 6 juli http://www.tweakers.net/ext/f/62254/full.jpg[/img] The holes are used for the WC tubes. Well, if it's broken you should fix it. I've made new strips made of 8mm a.c. ryan's UV plexi. The same as i used for the pieces on the sidepanel. While the strips were drying, i took care of this. It's made to guide the WC tubes and some brake cable. Mounted some led's into the plexiglass. Here will be the WC tubes guided trough The strip is made of 2 pieces. because the plexi was 50cm, and the case more. The way to polish small holes Thursday 7 juli Sorry, bad hairday Guiding of the tubes. It's time to finish off the rear panel Ready to paint it. Friday 8 juli Done nothing Saturday 9 juli These are the strips for the grill, i only need to polish them and mount them offcourse. Look, no more visible cable's Connecting it. These speak for themselve i hope so Connecting the tubes after the picture was made i switched 2 tubes so the S-bend in the tube is less than on the picture showed Now i showed also where i used the mesh for, witch i made before... to hide the radiators and FAN's I little difficult to explain how the WC is connected, especcially in english, so here's a drawning: 1: Pomp 1 sucks trought the left circuit, i slight underpressure prevents leaking 2: Much heat produced by the CPU 3: A little cooldown by the small radiator 4: See point 1 5: More heating up by the VGA 6: Complete cooldown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
