Night_Flyer Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Hi All I wanted to do a serious case mod for a while, of course with a few goals. [*:nd5j7vb6]First and most important it had to be silent[*:nd5j7vb6]Integrate my first water cooling system[*:nd5j7vb6]Have the ability to put the case on my left and still see the hardware [*:nd5j7vb6]Maintain a relative easy way to access the components As a name for this mod I chose WAF++. This stands for Wife Acceptance Factor++. The reason why I chose this might be best explained with the following picture At this moment I am in a "sketch" faze and although I want to end up with a rather conventional look for the case I have decided to build it from scratch. This to avoid having to make compromises on component placement and air flow. As base material I will use wood as I find this the easiest material to process. I hope to get back to you with the a few sketches in a couple of days. Now just adding a picture to "comply" with the rules. I am going to use the CoolerMaster 850 Silent Pro supply in this mod As finish to my first post I wish all competitors the best of luck and fun modding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night_Flyer Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 Here is a view on my component placement I am thinking of the "only" thing I have to do now is build a case around it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaPang Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Hola Night! WAF sounds like mine, I only mod cuz she lets me, hehe. Wood is cool so I will be looking forward to your build. Good luck! Cheers and Saludos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrenkieNL Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 "the "only" thing I have to do now is build a case around it" Woehahaha this sound just like me, when I made Sting. This is the best way to total rad designs, only the hardware limits your physical boundaries. Beyond those boundaries, it total freedom ! Almost 180 degrees of what Maciel makes: A total rad sculpture, then makes a hole and puts a PC inside.(which is also very nice, no offense intended) Anyway, I wish you all the best and good luck !

Night_Flyer Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 Just found some time to work a bit on the design of my mod. Below you can find a render. This still isn't final as I still have to add my power button, usb port and audio jacks. I also would like to incorporate doors so that the inside is easy accessible. I am still doubting if I am going to paint it black or varnish the wood. Perhaps some input from you guys would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrenkieNL Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 My honest opinion about that design: disappointing. You have total freedom, yet you want to make a square straight enclosure. Think out of the box ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night_Flyer Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 Well it took me a while but I 'm back. My honest opinion about that design: disappointing. You have total freedom, yet you want to make a square straight enclosure. Think out of the box ! Sorry to disappoint you but I still need to discover my abilities on case modding. Next to that I want this case to be a functional thing that will have its place at my desk for several years. No to start the work log. This is the wood I am going to be using for this case I started on the sides of the case, In this pic you can see that I am cutting the hole for the door panel with a jigsaw. After sanding it down you get this I figured out that it was going to take me to much sanding if I kept working like this so this is the new approach More updates will follow shortly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
