to many killer hardware pieces just begging to be modded and overclocked ready to frag

, nice project you got here bro keep going!

coolmiester · 26th Jun 2008, 15:18

Its a bit of a headache choosing which blocks to go for CPU's and NB due to hose routing but after much head scratching it looks like D-Tek FuZions for CPU's and a DD MC-Chipset block with a modded mounting bracket will be best.

So, decided to make myself a nice little mounting bracket for the MPC-Chipset block.....

Started by scribing the shape onto a 3mm piece of aluminium then took the original MPC mount to mark hole alignment.

Not sure if there's time to get it anodised black or whether i'll just have to paint it but either way it looks OK and fits like a glove

Awesome work on the plate, you should polish that up lol.

MrWizard · 26th Jun 2008, 17:01

Stunning.

nikeunltd · 26th Jun 2008, 17:03

wuu pretty

coolmiester · 26th Jun 2008, 17:20

Yeah, cheers i think i might polish it

Got the side panels back from powder coat today which is a great way of flattening down the standard brushed aluminium and a great flat base for primer so its time to start attaching the vents.

Had to use that 2 part metal stuff to attach a couple of bolts to the back side of the vent to enable it to be screwed down.

I also got hold of this Terotape and Primer which gives the vent a nice cushion to sit on which hopefully eliminates paint cracking when the side panel flexes.

So anyway, this is how it looks and now i've got a night of bodging and wet sanding ahead to blend the vent into the panel then get it into primer ready for paint.

Just did a test fit with the chrome bits on to see what the whole thing looks like in black

What colour are the panels going Paul?

Also, how are you going to pain them?

LOL no not really but you're right, i may get it anodised black time permitting.

First off, I'm am so impressed with your mod and gave me a few ideas of what I might do with my old computer. Where did you get the sheet metal and bolts for the front of your case.

MrWizard · 28th Jun 2008, 04:52

The block looks super nice polished. As far as I'm concerned you can never have too much polished aluminum.

...I still go back and drool over your ShinyMaster project at least once a month. I'd kill someone to get ahold of one of those cases...

acey · 28th Jun 2008, 05:16

Gotta love that case, was playing with a customer's. Especially the sensor off/on button
