Scratch Build – In Progress Project: Hush!

It'll have a removable motherboard tray and drives and maybe psu will be soft-mounted so hopefully dropped screws won't be an issue..

 

great work!

 

This build looks real insane man. Just beautiful.

 

=( for bandwidth exceeded

 

Ha! We just love your mod so much

Btw I've got 2 lots of 10GB webspace from my ISP that's completely going to waste. If ya want I can host pics for you for free - PM me.

 

Or you could use picasa. It has a upload tool and unlimited bandwidth.

 

any way to host the pics somewhere else? Can't see past the bandwidth exceeded part

 

Dammit- should've relocated all the pics to bit-tech's hosting. Anyhow, here's some I uploaded there before the photobucket bandwidth was exceeded:












From making the end-boxes/gaskets:




Apologies for ineptitude - should have seen that coming!

That thing could passively cool 3 gtx 295s and an i7.

 

That must have taken an utterly amazing amount of skill, patience and time! not to mention cost! wow! Hats off to you sir!

 

you could probably use it in your central heating system
awesome work, keep it up

 

That heat pipe array turned out very well, nice work.

 

I'm speechless! So much Cu and so much work - all to make a PASSIVE COOLER! Totally freaking cool! Now I'm looking forward to see how you'll put the hardware together - and the water too.

Subbed, that's for sure!

Cheers for the nice comments guys. This hasn't been forgotten about - still going back when I can to continue work on it and all coming together... Update with pics of the aluminium outer frame coming soon; just need to finish countersinking and tapping the 60 or so allen-head bolts to hold the aluminium lap-joints together first. Also have had Hush logos CNCed into the aluminium plates... more on that next update. Was going to take pics yesterday but didn't really get enough time so will have to wait until this weekend.

 

Update time!

Lots of countersinking and tapping.


The motherboard tray will sit further back towards the back wall, but the countersunk screws poking through from the back aluminium frame just happen to be the right distance apart to go through the motherboard tray holes....





one of the 19mm anti-vandal switches (photographed badly!). It's anodised-black aluminium with white light. I'm still undecided as to whether to anodise all the aluminium black or have it mirror-polished aluminium..

Needs a bit of filing down to tidy up but getting there.



Not fully screwed together and epoxied into place yet so sitting on a box atm. The aluminium frame sits very snugly in the slits for the copper fins.


The copper back wall got warped from bead-blasting. Should bolt to the aluminium easily enough though.

 

Sadly my friend cut one of the logos the wrong way up.

 

Looks fantastic!
Fancy a barbecue party?

 

Impressive

 

Wow...


What's going between the motherboard tray and the side of the radiator?
