Case Mod - In Progress The Theory of Everything. Dec. 21st. End of the world? Have some final pics. :-)

Thanks a lot! Much appreciated kind words sir!

Great minds think alike! I just wish I was one of them!

I think I'm gonna have to take a look at what I can find in the scrap pile at work... I just need it to be the right thickness... I'll get back to you on that tomorrow!

 

1/4, have bigger diameter than 1/8 its a big difference :S?

 

Depends on the hole inside!

 

ahaa you mean the inner diameter ?

 

Ja fan!

The ones I use for the 6/8mm hose, I can get with 1/4" or 1/8" thread. But they both have a 5mm hole in them!

 

Haha I am so glad you changed that top Missed the last update, and when I just went trough the recent updates I saw the "toe" block and instantly thought of:

 

YAY!

But no, you may not!

 

Unfortunately I didn't have the time to make a new insert in smoked plexi. I didn't even get around to see if I could find any...

But I DID get around to another thing.

I've been fiddling with the thought of the fittings for a while.

In all honesty I am aware that the standard fittings I use aren't the prettiest ones. But they cost around 1/7 of the bitspower fittings!

I was looking around for some stanless tube to cover them up, but that's gonna be expensive as well. I was thinking about making the from scratch, but again it's a good amount of money to start them up. I could probably sell some, but I want my own stuff!

So I went with the easy and quick sollution.

This is the standard boring one:



So... I threw it in the lathe and turned just enough off it so it was round all the way. Then I used the tool that gives the surface that "non slip" surface. (Dunno what it's called in english! )

Gonna have to make a tool to set them up on when I turn the whole lot after I order them, but you get the idea.

Then I painted it black, and voila!

The color can be whatever, depending on what I want.

IF I was to make the from scratch, I would have made them bulgier, but I think the result is quite good!

Hope you like it!









That's it for now, catch you on the flipside!

 

It's a Diamond Knurler

 

Cool I like it! Clever work there mate

 

What he said

 

Thx! Not only is it useful, it also has a cool name!

Thank you my kindred danish spirit!

And thanks also to you, my far away buddy!

 

Just read your worklog, I really like the custom WB! I'll be checking out this mod for sure!

+Subscribed!
+5!

Case mod in progress: Black&White (N' some blue)

 

Oh awesome transformation of plain old nuts, pretty simple tweak I guess but increases the niceness hugely +rep.
DIY BP fittings .

 

Nice 1 dude simple move and it looks great with the cpu block.

 

seriously... custom fittings now!!

get a life oh wait no don't!! keep on modding the block and fittings look superb!

 

You know, when I read that someone knurled their nuts round, I would think that would be bad...

@Renmanc - He has a life. Fortunately, he doesn't let it get in the way of entertaining us.

 

Thanks man!

Thanks! I was going for something like that! As I mentioned, they are not as bulky as BP fittings, but I'll see how it looks in the final build. If I don't like it, I'll make some other top-pieces to fatten them up!

Thank you!

Nah... Modded fittings, not custom! And thanks a lot!

I would have expected nothing less from you!

I don't know if modding my GF's pc is called having a life... But I'm cool with it, you guys like it and the GF's gonna love the mod. Can't beat that though!

I've got designers block right now! I made several designs for HDD mounts, but I just can't get my head around the final version. It's somewhat put on hold until I get the Case. All the drawing in the world can't make up for having the product in front of you!

So blame Dennis Publishing for the slow progress atm!

 

You are the milling machine MAN! Both stunning blocks but the CPU block is a work of art, respect where it is due!

 

Thx a lot man! Always nice to hear that others like what I do!

Still awaiting the arrival of my case, so I can get on with the show! And I just bought a butt-load of leds for this, so that should be sorted for now!
