Scratch Build – In Progress The Wood Brothers

Looks good so far, I would like to see what kind of siding you will produce.

Just a tip about the wood, I don't know if you know this, if you do, kind of disregard the tip. When you glue wood side to side, make sure that the bindings are opposed. I noticed on the bottom that the bindings are not opposed, chances are it could be fine, but it could warp a little depending on where you'll be storing the case. I actually broke that rule on my project (deliberately) on the floor board on my desk.

 

bindings? my wood vocab is rather dimunitive.

 

Another update is here.

Thanks. Side panels will be done tomorrow, but I'm not sure should I use removable panel or just glue it and use it like motherboard tray.
Thanks for the tip.

HDD case in da haus!




I decide to go with space for five drives, and some space for Raspberry Pi.

Also i made radiator standoffs for easy radiator removal.

 

Wow, this is going to be damn impressive

 

Oh, cool. So the pegs will be on the radiator and it will just slide in... cup, things.

 

I hope so, thanks.

Exactly

 

nice save. i soooo would've taken that out of context given the chance.

 

looks good,
keep it up

 

Thanks

 

Hi guys,new update is here.

I cut the hole for I/O ports.


Also i monted the radiator.


And i got remaining parts for water cooling.



To cool down water pump i got some old CPU heatsink.


And finally sneak peak for tomorrow job.

 

Are we going to see a custom res per chance

 

Yes

Today I finished reservoir.
After drilling, gluing and stuff I got nice clean res.

 

Great work!
I like the res.

 

Thanks!

 

Little update today.
After some thinking I figure out how to mount the pump.

On down side pump has two unused 4mm holes.


I cut two 2 cm aluminum pieces and drill holes in it.


And this is how it looks when mounted.





One notice, screw is going through down side of the case and holding all that together.

 

Last important construction piece is done.
I present to you mobo tray.




Measure twice, cut once.




Mounted.



Lets see how mobo fits.




Few extra pic.




I still need to mount two thermometers and first phase is over.

 

Thats one massive chipset cooler. and one sexy piece of acrylic reservoir

 

@siliconfanatic; thanks

Long time no see. Time for another update.

Apogee block didn't come with AMD mounting plate so I need to made one. I decide to use plexiglass.






After some testing I found some screws and mount block on motherboard.

 

looking good so far

 

Thanks!
