UPDATE: The build is nearly done! I've done a lot in the last few weeks, and all that culminated into a power-on test. So, let's dive in: [IMG]...
That's the handle to open and close the lid. Maybe a bit overkill, but what on this build isn't.
UPDATE: Lots of work on the water cooling and wiring this time. I originally wanted to use the pipe clamps below, but found they let air out and...
Being aluminum helps a bit, but there’s still a lot of metal and a ton of hardware… yeah, it’s gonna be heavy!
UPDATE: Some more progress on the build. I removed the chipset heatsinks and replaced all the thermal paste and pads. I also installed the CPU...
UPDATE: After disassembling the build for final finishing, I sanded and brushed all the remaining pieces that I hadn't gotten to yet. [IMG]...
UPDATE PART 2: Time to put the finishing touches on the lid. I marked and drilled four holes into the back of the case to mount the beefy...
UPDATE PART 1: I finished a ton of new sheet metal parts for the build, most notably the lid! [IMG] I started off by taking measurements, and...
That makes me feel a bit better haha. The red stuff is actually silicone water/vacuum line, so hopefully it'll be very stable.
Yeah, we’ve got some mini mills and micro lathes around. I’m mostly on the 2D side of things, but I’d like to learn those tools eventually. I was...
UPDATE: The sheet metal work continues! I modified the design of the radiator mounts to be a bit more compact, while adjusting the geometry to be...
UPDATE: The next sheet metal parts to make are the radiator mounting brackets. Since this case doesn't have enough room inside to support...
I work at my university’s makerspace, which among other wonderful toys houses a metal laser cutter. Similar stuff could be done with a CNC plasma...
Hello everyone, Here's a test fitting of all the components to make sure they work. I'm using air cooling temporarily until the loop is complete....
Hello everyone! After being a lurker on here for a long time, I think it's time I finally contributed something. And to make up for lost time,...
