Case Mod - In Progress Project : Infinity CM Stacker (Reservoir 100% complete)

Ok so is get my case today, dam this thing isnt light and isn't small.

I have so much planned for this case, it's gonna be mental. For now here is the case, already stripped down to barebone.

So I'll talk about what I have planned on this case lil later once I've decided exactly what IM gonna do to it..... I can tell you one thing its gonna look PIMP but yet mental



















Get ampt coz this is gonna be a wicked case

i cant nothing happened yet

 

haha true, tomorrow i get started my good friend, im doing the radiator for the top, and the back panel for the motherboard tray

 

Any conceptual drawings?

 

I will be doing those tonight...

 

Ok guys an update,

I cut the back out, for what im gonna like on Red Devil, nice new back panel.

Here it is cut out, well how i want it. Took the PSU cage out not gonna needing that... Here we are ............





All squared off, for a new back panel, gonna need to make a custom Motherboard tray.

 

Guys to mention i used my big friend again heheh, and my small friend.

(Angle Grinder & Dremel)

Will of course be using the dremel now more of course.

EDIT:

This is how im gonna be putting my Radiator. Fits good there. Will be making the back plate tomorrow, alot with a design for a top window, now that there is that square hole. and also the bottom have to do somin about that hole aswell.

great start...
any plan to make it to btx..?
can wait to see your custom made mobo tray..

 

I think im not gonna even plan, well i will but im not gonna give anything away, that way people stay interested and wanna know whats gonna be done next.... :wink:

Edit: Ok an Update....

Back plate has been cut to size, perfect cut... here are some pics








Next im am gonna need to make a the motherboard tray its actually gonna extend all the way to the drive bay , Whre is will be secured alot easier, and will be alot more stable than if it wasnt spread right across the whole case...

Idea of how the tray will go.....

 

These plans will change during the project. And also more planning to come, as these are complete yet. The Graphic card might be able to go in the top PCI express slot, will see how it goes once ive done the Mobo tray.

Um that space between the walled off PSU and the top of the mobo, im thinking of something there.... im thinking the name of the case, when i come up with a name. Can have it going across there....

Um i phoned a place today, can get Aluminum pretty cheap from this place here, called Non Ferrous Metal works. So in can start cutting and getting the panels inside done

Hey guys, Well i struck some Modding action just now. Went to Non Ferrous Metal Works here in Jacobs, Durban....

Dam you wanna see all the different types of off cuts of metal they have at the back, I can get some Copper sheeting if i want, or if i wanna Do some LN2 extreme cooling or even DIY watercooling blocks, all different size junks of copper, brass cylindrical or square , rectangler its all there.

Anyway. here is what i got from NFM's, for R188 i got a sheet of aluminum that was 2m X 1m. Bloody cheap... wanna where im going next time for all my metal needs... yea you guessed it.

This piece has been cut in half, the other piece is on my work bench.



All measure up to size and in the progress of cutting...



Ok sorry didnt show it cut, i went straight to bending it, this is the first bending that is needed...



Here you can see the piece sticking out the back.... needs to be bent...



And the back side of the motherboard tray....piece sticking out as mentioned...



Ok time to get the other piece bent, all measured up....



This time i made starter slits so its was easier to bend..... as this pic shows you


Now all done, and bent, ok i used a hammer and a piece of wood, but then just used a hammer, hehe

All nicely snuggled inside my case, perfect tight fit



Back panel on to show you how it looks.

And then the final view of the back panel on....to show you...



Couldnt help not cropping my bike out the way, heheh



Thats all for now, gotta do some design work.. update lil later today i think.. will see

 

Wow the inside looks really nice and clean.

 

Thanks Sik19, im gonna do the front panel bay area bit later today.... keep an eye out for this mod, thanks for the comment mate

 

Nice and clean, not to mention the space/mess it'll save from the drive bays.
BTW nice bike.

 

You'd be able to achieve much nicer bends if you had a break available; for the tools you've got it looks pretty good though.

 

Thanks Supra55, yea that bike its a Hyosung 250GT 4 stroke

Yea true, thanks for the comment Radodrill, im loving your work aswell, im keeping my eye out on ur work aswell... great job you doing

 

I feel curious

Subscribed - I'd like to see how this thing comes out in the end
Go for it!

/Frido

 

Thanks Frido, um a question, what do you mean by Subscribed....

Otherwise, this case might take a while but its gonna look mental

 

Hey guys another update...

I was doing the back tray opening for the motherboard and my Dremel is seizing up, i dont think its going to last much longer.... :cry: :cry:

But on a good note, I was able to use ....... NO ANGLE GRINDER ...... my jigsaw to cut the hole for the motherboard tray......

Using Clamps and my gran ballies work bench.... i was able to cut the hole.

Here we go guys....

Ok here it is outside the case you can see how thin it is on the one side... pretty good jigsaw work



Inside picture of the cut out.



Inside with the RedDevil case Donor so you can see how it looks



Outside with the cut out...



Outside pic of the cut out and RedDevil's donor....



Then you guys remember that hole, well ive got an idea... im gonna use that mesh grill and make a cover for it so you dont see the base of the case... maybe some LED's lighting yea you guys feeling me.... :wink: :wink:



One exciting case mod this is turning out to be....

Tell me what you guys think....
