Hi , this my first post here , I´m glad of be part of the comunity. RÛNÎK is my last work , is a thematic mod made for an ecological modding competition , so was build using only paper and cardboard It represent an ancient object that belong to an old runic culture made of stone , but at the same time has a ultra-modern technology inside , so it is being investigated , I´m a big fan of Tomb Raider and Indiana Jones In a couple of my projects , I introduce the concept of 2-steps turn-on , here you can see an effect after turn on the PSU (the cpu is still OFF) and the status change after turn on the PC. When the CPU is ON, a "Power Circle" of runes of light is projected at the front of the PC , this is inspired in Warcraft game Gallery There is more pictures that I can´t show because has the competition organizer logo and can be see as spam , you can find it in my Blog
Worklog I start with a prototype just to try some designs , result: Generally , people think that an cardboard mod must start with a box , I think different , then I decide to choose other way to use this material I made a lot of structural square columns to build the chasis Building the chasis Almost done
Looks very cool. I love the projection given off! Not entirely sure about the Blue LEDs. Bit too much of a contrast with the yellow.
Thx for the comments ; I´m glad you like it !!! More worklog Front panel , roof and inner floor build Hdd rack Front panel ligth show Make a transparency effect ussing paper was a real challenge and a lot of work. First , the runes was made at hand one by one in a black cardboard sheet. A big led panel was made and put behind the runes And a PCB for the oscillator Test Card mothertray and back panel Artistic shot Painting and stone effect cover + side panels Lower front panel that contains the projector and the main buttons and the optical drive Projector Projector support made of cardboard (i think I write cardboard a thousand of times ) A dc motor and a 1w led was used in the projector Testing Finally , for the CPU cooler radioactive logo , I use a strobe ring of UV leds that I develop earlier for my first mod OBSIDIANA , that I will post later. The frequency of the oscillator is variable and that allow different visual effects Here a video , so you can see how it works PD: I hope not bored you with the long worklog , thanks for reading.
