ArgOs Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Tron is one of my favorite films, the original approach my more to computers, I want to see the evolution of this work.
Boddaker Posted February 27, 2011 Author Posted February 27, 2011 Been working in Sketchup for the last week, building a mockup of the lightcycle suitable for housing a full ATX system with watercooling. It ended up being 40" long, but relatively short. As for the design, I didn't want to make a spot-on replica of the bike, so I went with my layered acrylic method, with just a few skinned areas around the wheels and top. This allows me to hide more components inside as well. Anyway, on with the mockups: Upon removing some layers, you can see the initial motherboard placement and other components. To give you a better idea of size, I placed a Cooler Master Cosmos case next to it. PRELIMINARY PARTS LIST EVGA X58 Motherboard Intel i7 965 processor EVGA GTX570 video cards in SLI Crucial SSD Crucial Ballistix memory Pioneer Slimline slot load DVD drive Cooler Master Silent Gold 850W Power Supply (qualifying product) Dual bay reservoir by Primochill Other watercooling parts TBD I'm planning something special for the front radiator, more on that later. So that's the basic plan, I'll be adding more detail as I go along. Good luck to everyone, this is going to be a great contest with many amazing entries!
