Scratch Build – In Progress Project: FrozenCPU: Billet Pron Bench; Sponsored by CORSAIR

The thing I like about that kind of work is that you can at least see tangible progress. But it is a lot of the same lol

What you need is an intern to do that for you

 

@Mos, are you hinting at something?

@Waynio, I understand and just wish I had more time to savor the moment

I received the shell for Actuator's LAC control pcb box from firgelli, it's perfect for our Tech Station, it's aluminum with Black plastic end caps, 57mm x 57mm x 26mm, $12 each from their store

 

I think I'll stick with my software dev, I'm probably better at that than modding

Looks like the controller box should fit in nicely.

 

This just gets better and better, I love all the parts and the overall look. I wouldn't fancy carrying it around though..

Top modding Bill. I can't wait to see it all come together.

 

Once this is finished, I think you'll need to build one of these for the workshop.

 

@Mos, I've told landlord that I'm looking for bigger shop space...

@jeff, thank you! it's not that heavy tho, but haven't finished top yet

@I&W, def need bigger shop if i get that

I've been editing videos mostly this week, I took a mental break yesterday to install our machined alum case feet onto the Tech Station.



Frozen retails Mnpctech's Aluminum "Grooved" Case Feet here,

That's just blatant marketing They suit the build really well though. Looking really good and looking forward to seeing it assembled

 

It bugs the hell out of me that they go out over the chamfer on the bottom

 

Me too.
In my defense; they had to be moved out that far for the optical, and I thought the bevel on the feet would line up. It does, sort of.

 

Maybe bevel the top edge of the feet to match the beveled edge of the case...

Anyway, they indeed look made for this case Stunning!

 

It wouldn't take much to take a little off the top of the feet to have it meet up with the chamfer you have on the case. Just an idea. Looks great.

 

wow just wow only just found this.subbed

 

I thought that was just my OCD kicking in

 

I noticed that too, on the que for our new OKUMA CNC Lathe!

Got the final two pieces finished last night, so today I'm going in early to start assembly of the cover, Yay! Yesterday I took these photos of the motherboard tray.

Any interest in Mnpctech offering ATX version motherboard tray & I/O for Scratch Builders?

 

That looks sweet. Now just need to get the power cables run to the back of the board instead

Depending on the price, I may be interested, but it would have to be "down the road"... I've been using the Lian-Li replacement motherboard/IO plates for my scratch builds.

 

@Mosquito - With a 3/4" gap under the motherboard, I figure even hoses could sneak under into those 4 holes. -Should make cable management a breeze.

 

Yep, these risers make it muuuch easier.... You know where to find me, Mos

 

1) I love this. Who wouldn't?! Epic work as always Bill, keep up the awesome work! Subscribed

2) Yes

 

I meant attach the cables themselves to the back of the motherboard, similar to what riekmaharg2 did with the panel cables in Blue Horizon

You're a bad influence! (good?)... My checkbook hates you

 

Just think of it as stimulating the economy one mod at a time.
