Hello World!

I'm Valgar, I introduced myself on Tower mods.

I take this opportunity to make another project in this category.

I thought to make a Pc that combines the airflow characteristics of a hovercraft and the computer functionality.

 

[Valgar]

Future word actually is strictly related to sustainability.
Like "Qubed" work, the purpose of this build is to employ as much as possible reusable materials. Like every effective hovercraft, it has a rubber ring around the edge that lifts it off the ground with an air cushion.
I found an old motorcycle tube and I'm going to use that like a rubber ring.

 

[Valgar]

Tube was so dirt and ugly but after a deep clean the result is good. 

Then I cut and glued the ends of the tube with caps found in some recycled plastic cans.

 

[Valgar]

New update: I made a temporary structure to bring the tube.

I divided the tube because the main idea is to have the possibility to remove the tube that surround the structure for maintenance purpose.

I took some measure, drawn on the paper and I found a steel profile to use for the main frame.

Steel frame building work in progress..

 

[Valgar]

The bottom of the frame is completed. 

Here some technical drawings of the tube plastics. These components allows to remove easily the tube and to avoid direct contact to the frame.

[Valgar]

I used this scrap to make four hand-curved plate to join the plastic guide.

Galvanizing is good, probably I'll refinishing with black paint after the first complete building.

I added fastening straps on plastics to keep the tube close. The tube now can be set.

In this backplate stolen from an old case, I made holes for newer motherboard. I'll use a micro-Atx form factor. 

 

 

This the result of custom cuts.

 

 

 

 

With another scrap I made the brackets of the radiators. 

 

 

These coolers are a 120mm Alphacool 45 mm thick copper radiators that will be set for the Cpu custom loop.

 

 

 

 

I bended edges manually like other metal pieces that I used in these projects.

I made holes with angle grinder and finished with metal files.

This is another scrap that I used to make a steel support for the radiators.

Simply cut and welded on measure.

These support allows to place radiators tilted by 45 degrees.

Ok, I began with the second part of the frame. 

In this photo some filler and  threaded holes applied to the bracket.

 

 

Some reinforcements on the radiators brackets. 

 

 

The beginning of the gpu bracket. I started with a scrap that I used also for "Qubed" tower mod.

This bracket has also a place for a pair of 80mm fans.

 

 

Same bending method marked Valgar. I mean, there are some different technologically advanced way of working but it's not my style for now 

 

 

Bracket almost finished

 

 

This is the piece of metal that I used for the rear IO shield bracket.

 

 

Bended, drilled, almost finished bracket.
