Oh, just read the post above about shorting the cpu, ugh.

Yeah, its been a real ride the last few days. On monday I had oceans of time to finish it, now it looks like I barely will make it (but that is still ok)
This is just a small part. I had to fit into the legs :
24 wire ATX, 4+4 wire mobo pwr, 6+6 wire GPU pwr, 4 wire molex, HDMI 1.4, CAT5e, USB2.0 and 2 x 3/8 tubing. Without causing too much restriction in the loop !

Ha, Thanks! Unfortunately that one aint mine! Wish I made CPU mag though. There are 2 other AT's so i have discovered after hearing about the AT in CPU. Both air cooled and very cool projects. It good to see diversity like that!

SHOWTIME !!!!

I managed to get a new 2600k and a new mobo just in time and spent yesterday night building it into the AT-AT.

So got a whole list of little things to do like plug some holes in the legs and front, restore a rim on the hood, lightproof the hood, finish the res, place some feet, adjust the 2 layer plexi frame, place 2m2 styrene, install fancontroller, Add 2 leds, clean the whole model, pack for 3 days of LAN and breathe …

Here is the Final Teaser !


Later!

TP10 here we come !!!










Arrived in one piece at the lanparty. Over a 1000 people, aint bad at all!
From the start a lot of people around the AT-AT so little time to update !
From tomorrow I will do a daily update from the buildlog !
And I will do my best to add some video's too!

Very nicely done.

Congrats on getting it all done against the clock. Looks AWESOME!

[ASPHIAX]

Thanks guys ! Its been a real fun project to do also.
Except for crapping out my mobo and cpu, but i am going to consider them as casualties of war ...

Very nice project

[Scirocco]

Love it!

Nice job. Looks great towering over all the rest at the lan.

Here is the main body. I had to get a lot of stuff out of there to make room for the mini ITX board.




With the interior out of there I could get a better view on how the fit the hardware.



The location of the reservoir was quickly found. The space was exactly 60mm. I was expecting to have to restore the model a lot here, but i found a very nice 60 mm res that fitted perfectly.




The inside of the leg. I needed to fit a lot of wires, cables and tubing in there as I wanted NO visible cables !








The start of the base, and figuring out the locations for the radiators.


I am going to need a bigger office soon !














And that was it for this update! With the rough build thought out its off to the finer parts !

Hahaha, yeah it was tough to miss it, lol!
But it wasnt the biggest baby on show though !
Homienators TH10 with Pedestal had that honour
(we were with over 40 watercooled pc's there)

WHERE IS THE GIRL?!
I am really missing the girl on the back of the AT-AT
Nice project otherwise, clearly you hadn't enough time in the sense that I sense you could do better with extra time, but it is already nice..

[kelmannen]

that was a fast one! great build tho!

[Vetalar]

nice build!
there is nothing you can't route with bitspower

Yeah, I was hoping to score some babes at the LAN but there were none!
Everything could be better with more time, but with 3 weeks I think I gave it one hell of a shot! Making 3rd place on the LAN was great!

Thanks, yeah I knew i had to pull a rabit out of the hat to get it done in time. Shorting the mobo and CPU really put a dent in the final work like airbrushing the cables in the feet and covering the base with more styrene plating.

Thanks! It really didnt have to be a 3 mm bigger or wider or it wouldnt fit. Spent a whole day trying to make it fit with the fittings I had!
