Phobya water-cooled case design thread - Stage 1 - Complete - see Stage 2 thread

Good evening. I write on Russian, English know badly. Corps of standard form. From one side all komponenty of computer, de autre part radiators of the cooling system. the radiators of 200*200mm blow them 3 ventilators of 220mm,ventilyatory are regulated and turned off, a tank is home-made on 2 l. A pump works on 5v. The system works demon of ventilators, stably

I see. good design. How do you export it as 3ds?

 

I have SKU 8 Pro. I don't think the free version allows for .3ds exports, but if it does it would be under File->Export->3d Model
And then you would choose the .3ds file type from the drop down on the next window...

 

Small update, I have't had a lot of time to work on this but here are a few small changes.

-Rotated motherboard to "traditional" orientation
-Added front loading slim drive
-Added top 2x 120/140 fan grill and holes for external rad mounting.
-Small aesthetic tweaks

Overall Dimensions: 560x576x236

I am now working with SolidWorks 2011 so the renderings aren't up to par. I am still playing around with it but hopefully Ill get an animation up sometime soon.

 

Hello!
recently learned from the site modding.ru that there is such a wonderful contest
give the photo of his body







to alter its course under water cooling I'm not going to prepare a draft but not a problem

in principle, change only the top box, it will be more to install a radiator and pump
slightly changed dimensions

to estimate its size

 

Looking good guys make sure you get your e-mails in to complete stage 1!

 

just waiting on the rest of the pictures that show off the features of my case design, but for now, a preview

 

pfff ok how much is the pro version?

No No No, your design just keeps getting better! this looks so cool!

 

SKU Pro = $495 US. I got it as a bday present a couple months ago... Otherwise I'd be using the free version just like most people.

Made some changes... Changed the 5.25 Bays... broght it down to 4 bays (more than enough) and modified the cage to hold just the 4 and fit in between the two dividers...

Added the side panel that goes behind the MoBo and added to windows (top and bottom with hex mesh) for air intakes or exhausts depending on radiator orientation.

Added some openings on the front side of the case for air intake... still not 100% convinced on those, so I'm open to suggestions.

A couple of "Clay" renders...





Again... Suggestions and critiques are welcome and appreciated.

It's a nice design. Well laid out. I really like the big cpu backplate cutout, and the cable management holes

 

I'm glad you like it my man... You have shown us that you have quite a high level of talent and taste when it comes to case design, so your opinion is valuable to me.

PS:

I took my case design to the paint booth and ran a color test on it... I have to say; I'm really liking this color combination.... It really pop out at the eye!

 

Thanks man!

I also like the color. A lot like some of the lian li cases. I must say, theres a lot of room underneath the mobo tray!

 

here is my design no chance to win though with the designs already here

 

why does it come small

No worries, fixed it. Thanks for the tip, subtec! --Nexxo

 

are you getting the link from the thumbnail and not the main picture?

 

Take the ".th" out of the image URLs

Like the first one is

change it to

and make sure they're surrounded by the IMG tags

Great work guys..

Aww crap 2 days to go.. When I drop my kids off to their mum tonight I'm cracking open a brew and getting the design done!

 

Here's an example project

 

yeeah you better! but don't rush. remember it's only rough concepts for stage 1.
