Scratch Build – In Progress Project: 4M (9/3 - F I N A L S ! ! !) > Completed

Thanks Kelmannen!

Mine was easy. I know some monitors are a bit tricky, but with a screwdriver you can open everything Guess you could minimize framwork that way. GL

 

No woodwork this weekend. Started on some of the cables. 4-pin ATX extension




The USB








Finished the day with an idea for the mesh

 

like that idea

 

Looking sweet & that wire routing is amazing.

 

Thank you Peteski!

I´m trying



Small update, the mesh... Looks good I think. Mistake hidden I guess






Made a VGA cable for monitor aswell

 

Looks great man. I'm loving the mesh, it reminds me of one of those old fireguards my grandmother used to have (wood and painted metal infront of an open fire = Logic fail).

 

Looking good

 

love the mesh mate

 

Thanks. Logic fail, just like wooden computers

Thanks guys!

 

Some work from today:

Making of the last fittings


Started to mod the PSU a bit, for better cable management


I want the monitor to have a bit of spacer-techish-look to it, so I´ll use three DIN connectors, 3-,4-, and 5-pin(VGA, power and led = 12 pins)


Backpanel for 3xDIN and C14-socket


Sidepanel for some of that golden mesh


Glue


Something like this. Made a small profile, similar to the one on the case foot




Then over to the legs... After some complex drilling I had to come up with a durable solotion for the assembly in the middle angle. No room for plugs here, so I decided to try some kinda biscuit thingy-thingy




Sooooo close!


3,5 mm walnut biscuits


Something like this. Will be sanded down


The monitor foot itself. Circuit decoration coming up!


From under

 

your skills amaze me

 

Thank you Peteski!

 

I'm so looking forward to that monitor! That woodwork looks amazing!

 

Wow bro this is going to be so awesome!!!! Your woodworking skills are top cant wait to see more of this!!!

 

The design lines on this work is just awesome man !
Really appreciate the attention to detail and the knowledge of the material you are working with. Wood has always been my first passion and you really need to know the finer ins and outs about it to make stuff like this. I am always more looking forward to the journey people make to get to the end then the end itself, but for this one I am really (REALLY) looking foward to seeing the end pictures. Its gonna be stunning !

 

Thank you!

Thanks AnG3L... Appreciaded!!

Thanx! Glad you like my style... and yeah, looking forward to the final assembly myself

 

PSU before...


PSU after... I´m pretty happy ´bout it



Made the 4-pin ATX a little more attractive as well


Found a magnifier on the flee some days ago and got an idea for the window. I think the DOF will highlight the beautiful Zalman heatsink with some focus


Had to sand it down a bit to give the PSU the space needed


Also made a 4M-decal for the HDD



Template stain painting again, this time on the monitor stand

 

that is all

 

So true

 

Wish i could see the pics from work
