Scratch Build – In Progress IMPERIAL AT-AT - Finished !

Yeah, its been a real ride the last few days. On monday I had oceans of time to finish it, now it looks like I barely will make it (but that is still ok)
This is just a small part. I had to fit into the legs :
24 wire ATX, 4+4 wire mobo pwr, 6+6 wire GPU pwr, 4 wire molex, HDMI 1.4, CAT5e, USB2.0 and 2 x 3/8 tubing. Without causing too much restriction in the loop !

Thanks man !

Ha, Thanks! Unfortunately that one aint mine! Wish I made CPU mag though. There are 2 other AT's so i have discovered after hearing about the AT in CPU. Both air cooled and very cool projects. It good to see diversity like that!

 

SHOWTIME !!!!

I managed to get a new 2600k and a new mobo just in time and spent yesterday night building it into the AT-AT.

So got a whole list of little things to do like plug some holes in the legs and front, restore a rim on the hood, lightproof the hood, finish the res, place some feet, adjust the 2 layer plexi frame, place 2m2 styrene, install fancontroller, Add 2 leds, clean the whole model, pack for 3 days of LAN and breathe …

Here is the Final Teaser !


Later!

 

TP10 here we come !!!










Arrived in one piece at the lanparty. Over a 1000 people, aint bad at all!
From the start a lot of people around the AT-AT so little time to update !
From tomorrow I will do a daily update from the buildlog !
And I will do my best to add some video's too!

 

Very nicely done.

 

IMPERIAL AT-AT at "The Party 10"

 

The 11th commandment: "Thou shalt keep being insane when thy mod!" Absolutely awesome!

 

Congrats on getting it all done against the clock. Looks AWESOME!

 

Thanks guys ! Its been a real fun project to do also.
Except for crapping out my mobo and cpu, but i am going to consider them as casualties of war ...

 

Very nice project

 

Love it!

 

Nice job. Looks great towering over all the rest at the lan.

 

Here is the main body. I had to get a lot of stuff out of there to make room for the mini ITX board.




With the interior out of there I could get a better view on how the fit the hardware.



The location of the reservoir was quickly found. The space was exactly 60mm. I was expecting to have to restore the model a lot here, but i found a very nice 60 mm res that fitted perfectly.




The inside of the leg. I needed to fit a lot of wires, cables and tubing in there as I wanted NO visible cables !








The start of the base, and figuring out the locations for the radiators.


I am going to need a bigger office soon !














And that was it for this update! With the rough build thought out its off to the finer parts !

 

Thanks man !

Thanks !

Hahaha, yeah it was tough to miss it, lol!
But it wasnt the biggest baby on show though !
Homienators TH10 with Pedestal had that honour
(we were with over 40 watercooled pc's there)

 

The more pics I see of this the more I want it.

 

Thanks man ! I will post more pictures soon !

 

WHERE IS THE GIRL?!
I am really missing the girl on the back of the AT-AT
Nice project otherwise, clearly you hadn't enough time in the sense that I sense you could do better with extra time, but it is already nice..

 

that was a fast one! great build tho!

 

nice build!
there is nothing you can't route with bitspower

 

awesome work mate, that looks so good!!

 

Yeah, I was hoping to score some babes at the LAN but there were none!
Everything could be better with more time, but with 3 weeks I think I gave it one hell of a shot! Making 3rd place on the LAN was great!

Thanks, yeah I knew i had to pull a rabit out of the hat to get it done in time. Shorting the mobo and CPU really put a dent in the final work like airbrushing the cables in the feet and covering the base with more styrene plating.

Thanks! It really didnt have to be a 3 mm bigger or wider or it wouldnt fit. Spent a whole day trying to make it fit with the fittings I had!

Thanks man! Its gonna look sweet in my office next to the EURISKO!

A new buildupdate is in the making !
