Scratch Build – In Progress RTX scratchlog: done, but not final update

no I like it but it's kinda confuse me.. I keep see boxes and big holes with some strange cut it keep make me crazy

but I like it and love it but it me sorry but this what I feel

 

The top is a simple square
the right side has that because the psu bracket would be in the way, so no window
the left side only has a small window because the back of the mobo tray is... ugly

 

i don't know if im going to use this or not, but i like it. check out this scroll saw magic:

hmmm its pretty artistic. This will go where the T is on the hard drive racks(pg 1)

Shot with COOLPIX P4 at 2007-07-10
thats without the holes drilled

do you like this more or the old T?

 

yeahh that's what I'm talking about I love this and I understand the project now

very nice work and well done

 

o and one more thing, the cut outs are going to be windows, with plexiglass. sorry for being vague

and do you think the new design for hard drive racks is to, "busy" or do you lik eit?

 

I like it too much.,. this is very nice project really.. you did good job very good job good luck buddy

 

thanks!

i contacted performance-pcs, and they kinda lost my first order. I called them and they are shippin it, so bummer... big delay goddamn pp-c!

 

ALrighty, made a little progress. NO photos, but drilled holes for 3 of the panels in the frame. Tomoro i would like to completely finish those sides, with windows ready and everything. Then i will start to paint those three sides. the other three sides(front, bottum, and rear) i don't want to do for a little while. I still need the motherboard tray to do the back anyways. Ill post pics.. .wait, is tomoro thurday? maybe it will have to be the day after, im busy all of tomoro...

A minor update

I started with getting my new airbrush kit, man this thing really broke my wallet! 7$!!!!!

Shot with COOLPIX P4 at 2007-07-13
yeah! this is good for painting lots because it has 5 things for holding the paint.

one panel done. Keep in mind this was 10 min ago and they are still wet


Shot with COOLPIX P4 at 2007-07-13
In the far panel, im not tryign to be gross but i think one of my neighbors broke inot my house and ëjaculated on it. THeres a sticky white goey substance on it the paint won't cover up. SO im going to sand it and repaint that. ALso, since this airbrush was cheap, it kinda splattered paint on one of the panels. All of this will be fixed so don't worory about that!!!

laters!

 

Painted the zalman, keep in mind its dirty:

much better in my opinion. You can't see it in the piucture, but you can see your reflection in it

Hmmm the flash on my camera made the paint look like crap, so i changed the levels on photoshop. This is what it looks like in real life, its kinda blotchy im not sure why, the airbrushed part looked amazing

 

alrighty! sorry for long time between updates... i wasn in santa barbara for the long weekend, man its beautifull there!

32 ac ryan blue screws
lian li a10 motherboard tray(amazing!
cable sleeving kit
really cool aluminum case feet
some led indicators(look like crap in person, im not going ot use them)
and somethign that if i ever want to go with a second psu it is easy.

Look at the quality of the mobo tray! brushed aluminum and you can see my reflection in the pci slots!!!

Shot with COOLPIX P4 at 2007-07-18
here you can see the mesh in the backround and the power switch!

and im going to admit, the paint was not going to cut it. Im going to repaint. I sanded them down this morning

Shot with COOLPIX P4 at 2007-07-18

Another thing i was not likign was the rtx i made for the front of the case... blah!

i just cut these, havn't sanded or anything. Not that the X needs work, it will not be like that. The glue came off from the alu/plexi on the X so i had to reglue them yada yada yada

Shot with COOLPIX P4 at 2007-07-18
Cool thing here is that the uv reactive plexi is underneath! that should make the front of the case look cool!

so comments/opinions recomended

 

lian li mobo tray looks sweet. hope you put good use to it too.

 

Im torn, i was going to paint it blue and put LED's in it, but now... im not so certain. I think whatever i do to it will make it not look as good as it does now... besides you won't see much of it, and what you will see is completely mirrored all the insulation on the evaporator will take up a lot of space

and guys, check out whats being shipped to me soon:

Still need the temp display, but 1hp, r507a, madness!!!

 

Good job man!

 

thanks tribal!

hey what do you guys think i should do to the mobo tray? it looks so awsome in real life i don't really wan't to touch it.....

Another update later this afternoon folks

 

Looking good. I wouldn't do much to it unless you want some color on it.....or just a hole or two to do some cable stealthing. keep up the good work.
