Jean R built Posted October 24, 2020 Author Share Posted October 24, 2020 2 days later I wanted to craft the power and reset switches, but the GPU side acrylic gave me trouble with airflow. The others Pc temps were good, it was just the GPU that was warmer than before because it's to close to the acrylic. So here was the 2nd Iteration, with some ventilation holes, I tested it the day before. But even though the GPU temp was a couple degrees better compared to the full acrylic, it was warmer than without the acrylic in place. And here is the 3rd Iteration I was testing at the time of posting, it was a lot more open than before. I was hoping to get good temps, so the next day I could focus on finishing the handle and the switches, and complete the case. I added a led strip inside the top crown pointing down, I already had it around because during the last winter I added led underglow to my bed , it's 4 pins like my MB it's controllable via software so why not. After I had the case with more windows, I came to the conclusion that I prefer indirect lighting, so I told everyone that I wanted to avoid not controllable lighting on things like the fans so I can control it.

Jean R built Posted October 24, 2020 Author Share Posted October 24, 2020 3 days later I had to buy a new CPU, the old one was the reason I got a some BSDO during the last few weeks of it's life. the next day I had to modify the cable cover, if I mounted the new scales directly to the frame, it would have been impossible to have access to some screws of the top module, so I had to attach it to the cable cover so they move together. I was hoping to be able to finish the scales and the reset button the next day, the power button was already done, the new CPU should have been in place, so even if the big fans had the LEDs turned off, the case should have been complete. Then came the question, due to some changes to the design the case can't lay horizontally, and I don't think it would look that good anyway. But I got an idea , I was going to craft a separate PC docking station, so I could put the case on it at 45° because it would look ducking cool . So even if I could complete the case the next day, I wouldn't think the project log as completed until I finished the dock. Another Idea was that the PC now has an iGPU and a GPU, I though that I was going to add a small monitor to the case, it could be useful for a lot of things, but I did consider that a future project mod and not part of this one, because I though I wouldn't be able to buy the small screen anytime soon, and well I still don't know when I'll be able to.

Jean R built Posted October 24, 2020 Author Share Posted October 24, 2020 2 days later On June 2nd the new CPU has been delivered the next day I couldn't update the day before, because my MB BIOS wasn't the latest version, so it wouldn't boot with the new CPU. I had to ask my brother to download the latest one, and lend me his CPU to install it. Then for whatever reason the MB wasn't completely happy, now if the 3200g is on and the RAM is in the first MB slot it doesn't boot but if it's in the second it does. Now it works, and to be honest having only one RAM stick right now I can live with having it in the 2nd slot, I wasted enough hours on it, so I'm going to investigate the situation in the future .

Jean R built Posted October 24, 2020 Author Share Posted October 24, 2020 The next day I wrapped the handle with paracord 550, the problem was that I had to find a good way to wrap it with a look resembling a Tsukamaki, and it took some tries and more time than what I was expecting. But it was the first day on which I was able to show for the first time one of the shells wrapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
