mayhem modz Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 the dances begin now that I have most of the material at hand I can evaluate the dimensions ... I start from aluminum strips to build the side frames, a very delicate operation, so both must be extremely precise, maximum precision % Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayhem modz Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 today I focus on the lower part, power supply housing, construction of the supports that will support the shock absorbers those who know me from the beginning know that I like to recycle parts of disused PCs near the landfill, today it has been the turn of an old HP the sheet is incredibly thick and robust cut and shape that interests me. these supports are very important because as mentioned, in addition to housing the shock absorbers, they will also support the acrylic bars to close the structure on the back more forward you will be all clearer ..

mayhem modz Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 today 3 steps I had already prepared the support for the power supply unit but I was not happy and did not allow for excellent heat dissipation. everything is designed in such a way that its replacement or removal is also easy realization of the supports for the positioning of the tank and integrated pump these strips will further strengthen the structure which is not yet stable as we proceed, everything will consolidate. EKWB also provides an adhesive where to make the holes very comfortable, all time saved. I also drill holes on the opposite side with a larger diameter so that they can be accessed with the fixing screws addition of upper lateral slats for fixing the entire rear part which will be made of 4 mm acrylic panels with lamellar effect ...

mayhem modz Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 processing of the rear part which will consolidate the whole structure the panels are temporary, the tray for the motherboard (on which other panels and supports will be mounted) and for the vertical video card are still missing. I do not rule out making other changes during the work. I preferred to stay a bit wide with the measurements I am always in time to cut if I need .... Just like I do a cardboard sample to do the various tests when I am quite sure I proceed with the various cuts on acrylic. I did the first and I use it as a "master" for all the others, they must be perfect .... at least I try. all done by hand. after taking the right measures I assemble everything the panels that will make up the rear will have thicknesses (now there are not) that will keep them tight and the structure will be more solid.

mayhem modz Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 YAIBA TO ALL! today a lot of work, I leave the rear part suspended to focus on the front, I make a panel of solid recycled steel from my HP desktop, the metal structure of these old houses is really impressive solid and thick sheet metal, the empty case already has its considerable weight. here it is to install the 360 mm radiator I need supports but at the same time I need to strengthen the structure, let's start .. measurement control and positioning ... now the most interesting part I finish with precision files always checking the measurements I am very satisfied with the result considering that I have no specific equipment and I made everything with basic tools and if I can do it, anyone can do it. https://forums.bit-tech.net/styles/default/xenforo/clear.png check that everything concludes. fastening with rivets, I always check the measurements the structure is now much more solid and stable. to be continued--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayhem modz Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 a lot of work today ... processing of the tray, very important as it is an integral part of the structure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayhem modz Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 technical dimensions tests positioning of the bracket that will fix the inno3d RTX2060super TWIN X2 video card vertically, here helps me coolermaster who sends me a special bracket designed for his houses but that is fine for what I need but it's not over I have to find a way to fix it firmly to the panels. motherboard placement and holes I have an envelope full of spacers I always take them apart before I get rid of an old case creation of the hole on the tray to facilitate the installation of the fixing plate for the CPU waterblock once you have decided what to do, prepare all the holes for the gpu support bracket after taking the measurements well 3 times I proceed I practice very small holes one points it as a cutter and patiently floods all the holes connecting them creating a groove I help myself with a precision file (one of my best purchases) perfect.. it is not yet finished all the tray block must still be well worked .. and the panels made previously must be revised (they are too large) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayhem modz Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 rear panel added reinforcement elements I will add 2 more "sandwich" wings with leds in the center 2 acrylic panels painted with another acrylic panel with leds in the center in addition to strengthening the structure, it will have an aesthetic value, 2 D-RGB strips inside these fins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
