Rkmodz Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 My Name is Rahat, and I am from Bangladesh....It's the 1st scratch build which I ever wanted to make. though it was remained unfinished for sometimes when I saw the CM2019 is On...then I give it a thought to finish my dream scratch build the let's see if it's worth the wait or not... The Hardware I will be using in this Builds are given below: Case: there will be no part of case used in this build as it's a SCRATCH BUILD Motherboard: MSI or Gigabyte AM3+ Motherboard (whichever suits the build more) CPU: AMD Phenom 2 X6 1090t PSU: Corsair RM 1000 GPU: Sapphire R9 290x reference editionRam: 2x 8GB Corsair Dominator GTCooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212xFans: Corsair 120mm (RGB), Aerocool 120mm white LED SSD: Samsung 860 evo or corsair neutron GTX or both Optical drive: Asus DVDRW LED Controller: NZXT HUE Fan Controller: Lamptron FC5 6 Channel 30W LED Fan Controller V3 ONE OF MY MAIN INTENTION ABOUT THIS MOD WAS TO USE MOSTLY SCRAP ELEMENTS TO MAKE THE SCRATCH-BUILD So I started to think about a build which will not require any parts from an existing case...which will be completely made outside the traditional pc case layout. and it struck my mind after I saw inwin's one piece metal sheet bending case...The S frame...then I thought NO I will not do it exactly like them...got to give it a unique touch of my own....then I started to work with bending a huge Acrylic sheet to give it a desired form to accumulate my pc components in it...and here started my SCRATCH CURVZ build... I have 1st started with a 5mm acrylic sheet then I started to bend it in the desired place where I want to accumulate the pc hardware such as motherboard, Psu and other things.... the bend was the hardest part to do in this mod as I didn't have any professional tool to bend the acrylic This Build was started almost a year ago but due to a great leg injury I couldn't finish it at all....and HOPING TO FINISH IT IN THIS CMWS 2019...

Rkmodz Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 it was the hard part to bend all the curves in the right section for the component to fit perfectly.....it was a little bit trial and error but still the outcome was good I also fit the dvd-rw to check if the gap is enough in the front part to fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rkmodz Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 The basic curving was done after some days to make it in a shape so that I can find out the correct place to put my hardware’s in. After making the basic curve my challenge was to make it stand without any support so I tried that and later on I have put a mark in the top part to make it compatible to mount at least three 120mm fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rkmodz Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 After the major curves were done...I started doing the hole for the fan mount....in the top part I have done 3 fan mount hole...so can I can even attach a radiator in that place.... the hole were done pretty smoothly...so I went well indeed...

Rkmodz Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 Test GPU attachment mechanism was done after the fan holes..and it seems it's gonna be ok....though I have a little doubt about modifying this afterwards if it doesn't works the way I want... I wanted to make the case in a way so that it can be used vertically and horizontally... Test with a dummy motherboard This doesn't seem bad but if there's any sagging issue it will be modified with something else here's the supporting pillar which will be used to mount those pci cards..:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rkmodz Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 After that I cut the PSU fan mounting hole so that the fan of the psu can intake air easily without any restriction, after that the angle mounting procedure was started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rkmodz Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 I will give the whole build a rusty and also battle damaged look so a lot of stuffs have been modded imperfectly to show everything during a battle doesn't goes as nice as it's planned...the top fan cut was little offset in one side which will be finished later... Motherboard cable cutouts The back part standing poles have been attached Mounting mechanism for the backside panel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rkmodz Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 Motherboard cutouts, cable management cutouts have been done... Another Acrylic sheet was added to cover up the back part of the case also to support the the case from the backside so that it doesn't wobble The supporting poles were drilled which was shown above in the previous post... Here's the acrylic sheet which was bent from the sides to get attached by the pole....in order to be mounted at the back part of the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rkmodz Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 Now the case has it's own shape and standing nicely......:)... As it will be a open bench type case so I will keep the main panel open so hardware's can be swapped easily in any way....that's why decided to go with barbwire type wire frame for the side panel..... I have made the color white so it can be visible easily....:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
