Case Mod - In Progress [project] Apple Cube - final photos !!

This is absolutely great work!

Like Burnout, I am very interested in that harddisk mount of yours. Is it something you came up with yourself? And what kind of rubber mounts did you use for the harddisk?

Keep up the good work!

/Mork

 

thanks Mork, I appreciate

The system "screw-less" is not my property no

about the rubber, they came from my Fractal Array (a NAS case), which I use too to take all the aluminium I need !

For the moment I wait the modder's mesh from mnpctech to continue the work on the chassis

edit: see this kit, maybe you can find something similar

 

Outstanding work!

 

Liking this build!

I guess you're going to have a fan hole cut into the side of the case for the CPU Cooler fan?

 

Not sure ! I will maybe change my motherboard for a H61 to have an i3 2100T which can be fanless with the Samuel 17.

 

looking good! Subbed

 

Very nice, excellent work so far.

 

Hello !

First, there is a surprise at the end of the post

I just made a fixation plate for the riser to keep him inside the case.

I don't really know the exact geometry so I start with one first side.

little cut inside the plate for the style






As this plate will be bend, I made some mark with the dremel

very nice project.

 

nice pen oh and project is very cool!!!
i've tend to build big pieces of junk but this project made me want to build smth small

 

well, awesome work.
This reminds me that I have two cubes sitting around waiting for the same treatment, last time i did not bother as the ITX boards were 1,2ghz max, with crappy onboard graphics, those ITX boards have grown up, finally..

This is what I have done to one of them (RGB-LED):
(loooooong time ago, BTW)

 

I have one cube sitting, waiting to be modded. I just need an OK gpu that fits inside the inner cube :/ (I want mini-itx with MXM-support )

@theguyfi:
Are you going to lift the logo and replace it? My plan was to lift the logo and mill an inset circle for the windows 7 ball... Then Windows 8 came :/

 

That hard drive mount is awesome. Gz on the well-deserved sponsorship!

 

@Alekoy: it seem to be a good work but for me there is to many lights ! You must restart one apple cube mod !

@christianw : Yes I think I will replace the apple logo by a custom one, don't decide the form yet, but if I can I will make a white led behind like the apple of the macbook

 

I will, been planning one the whole day at work

 

REALLY makes me want to start the cube I have sitting in the closet for such a project. I just don't have your level skills thegyufi. So jealous!
