Scratch Build – In Progress "Model 01" [Final pictures and video!]

Very nice!

 

Full metal-shop pr0n

I'm planning to build a case myself currently, but I have to go without the set of tools you're equipped with

 

Thanks for the nice comments! Really inspiring!

I will try to post a update as soon as possible!!!

 

Update #8 All parts

 

It looks very nice indeed!
Did you laser cut and bended the I/O bracket aswell?
Sure could use one later on ^^

 

Yep, laser cut and bended. You can actually see the flat model if you look at the picture with all the parts in update. I think it is this one http://i.imgur.com/HCTeW.jpg to the right.

 

Seeing how nice the I/O came out, what would you charge for a µATX I/O ? As this is actually the part I'm not able to make myself this accurately.

 

Just amazing men i love good solid looking hard metal work.

 

There you have it folks !
Well planned, well performed and well doned.

Im asking the same as jrs77, any possible way of getting one?

 

Amazing work. Even with the access you have to all the machinery, your talent shines through!

Thanks for the comments!

The I/O shield is really tricky to produce since I have to do them manually, and since I do not work at the workshop and I study at another town I think it will be hard. Also its kinda expensive to laser cut things. Then you would have to make a lot of them, and I still think they would be kinda expensive then

The workshop is really nice. There is a few things that i miss though. Like a water jet/laser cutter a CNC miller and a press break suited for these kind of things. Then you could actually produce this design relative "cheap". But as it is right now, I have to order stuff from other companies and its very pricey!!! I have no idea how I am supposed to afford to fill this chassis up with components

 

This is gorgeous, I love the case hinge by the way!

 

I see. Thanks for consideration anyways

 

No problem at all

But there must be companies that sells I/O slots? Or do you have to get a motherboard plate as well?

 

Wicked. And as for the Marking amuminum, thats why brushed metal is so awesome
and good god make me an i/o bracket... stock stinks like alu turd! Course we're here so ccomplaint is invalid

 

I belive theres still possible to get the motherboard tray from Lian Li.
Pretty cheap but not as fancy as yours

And for your CNC milling concerns, just holler and i might be able to help you out

 

It's pretty much impossible to order motherboard trays in continental EU. Atleast I've not found a shop in the €-region during the last two years that's selling those LianLi-trays.

Ordering from UK or US would be possible, but you don't really wan't to pay the shipping.

 

I dont know where you are located but Im pretty sure I saw it availible at a swedish website.
Can check when Im back home.

Sorry for OT.

 

really nice results!

 

Haha, alu turd

Yeah, brushing is nice, although glass-blasting looks better in my opinion! It gives such a nice finish!

Thanks! I may take you up on that offer

There MUST be some store close to you that sell I/Os? Have you checked Caseking? they have everything

There is like 15 stores here in sweden that sell those. OT is always fun!

If anyone have questions you can always ask them! I will not mind at all, and I will try to answer if i can

Thanks!
