Scratch Build – In Progress Project: Prime - Update: May 21st - Yes, really

Did some work on the front this evening:



Milling milling milling...











Looks pretty good, now I just bend the edges in a bit.



I'll continue with this tomorrow. Later!

 

Glad to see updates coming fast and furious, this looks helluva promising.

 

Nice front - and homemade thumbscrews...


I want a mill too.. *sigh*

 

Took a shot at making some corner supports for the case, though I didn't like the first type I made so I threw it away.

Cut put a piece of 1mm aluminium which I then bent to form a corner-like shape.









As I said, It doesn't look great. Also, it spoils my thought of only using the middle profiles as frame, so I scrapped it and made some out of a piece of 5mm aliminium instead.









Thinking of what to do next... Outher shell maybe? Anyways, see you later

Edit: I obviously won't be starting on the outer shell since I still have to cut out 4 more of these and then mount them

 

Those corner pieces look really nice.

 

The corner pieces look great, nice design.

 

The awesomeness! Dude, I also want a mill now >.<

 

Thx I'll be cutting out the remaining four pieces tomorrow.

I think an overall theme following the shapes of those corner pieces would be seriously cool. Got all kinds of ideas flying around my head now

 

We need a *drool* smiley here...

 

Sorry for the delay, was at reamhack last weekend, and the one before that I was working on another case. But now all time is going into this one.

First off, say hello to my new little friend! Huge thanks to Asus one this one







Cut out the four remaining corner pieces today:

 

wow, very nice looking build mate.

Wow nice mate

 

That soundcard is sweet.
I have the ST (PCI) version myself and I am really enjoying it.

Also, nice build!

 

Thanks

Yep It's in my workshop, got hold of it in 2006 I believe it was. Feel free to PM if you want more details

 

Okay, who voted for something less than 5 stars? I bumped it back up for you man!

 

Congratz on the new sponsor gear mate, those Xonar cards are sweet.

 

wicked looking mod m8! loved your other one, and im gonna love this
gotta have a look into that rhino program. i use cinema 4D myself and absolutely LOVE it. but if better alternatives is present, they are worth a look

 

Thanks for the feedback guys! And yep that soundcard is awesome

Only had time for a small amout of work today, tomorrow I'll be buying myself a belt sander and a pile of masking tape (had just enough for this one).
This is what I'm about to make, one for the top and one for the bottom.



Right... *cough*



Masking, cutting...





One side to go.



And that's how far I got before time was up. I'll be finishing this one, and hopefully the second one tomorrow aswell.

Thanks!

 

You still use traditional tools? I've gotten so spoiled with the mill, I'm using it to drill too.

 

This the same Cheapskate that ran the drill press by hand with a flashlight when the hurricane left no electricity? Can't be - must be a pod people replacement
