Case Mod - In Progress HEX GEAR: Project ODYSSEY by Zoyadog

gets nicer every time I look at it

 

Im glad you like it! I agree with you, sometimes the small details do the work!

I dont think Sweden is known for their steep mountains, we have more older and rounder mountains lol

Thanks!

Thanks alot

Thank you


First time doing copper tubing!

It was harder than I imagined, not doing to actual bend but to do multiple bends on one pipe. Well this is my first try! Going to try straighten up them a bit when I got time.

Have to wait for more fittings now, so I can continue again with more tubing.

I prefer having soft bends instead of fittings, I like it more like this.

On place in the case now













So what do you think?

 

Wow... I think I am in love

 

I was about to say it looks too clean.. But then I noticed it. No cables! Ain't gonna fool me that quick.. Haha, amazing build though!

 

This is awesome! those chromed pipes looks epic. subbed!

J.

 

Those pipes are indeed epic, especially for a first time bender! You nailed it Zoyadog, great job! Now tell us honestly how much tubing you wasted before the bends started coming out that nice.

 

Looking better and better every time I look at it. Great job Zoya

 

Hahaha, one does not simply go that clean Thank you

Thank you very much

Ohh thanks, I just have to redo them all the time lol.. always some bend that is a bit crooked. Im almost satisfied lol!

Thank you


So I recieved the accent packs from HEX GEAR yesterday. My special order is frosted blue
Im also going to show you the orange accent packs. They look lovely, don't they?















Time to change the accent packs again...



And now it's time for mine! Just love how the light illuminates the panels. And dont mind that long crooked pipe, will redo that one soon.















Will do more sleeving pictures next time, but these are the colours that I chose. Thank you Nate @ E22





Thats it for now! And remember kids, dont leave your cat with a bunch of sleeve.

 

Fantastic job, I really like.

Frida composition is one of the most interesting visual experience, it's fantastic that we can associate with your ideas!

 

I love this so much I cannot even put it into words the loop is just ..................

 

Stunning, end of.

J.

 

Build looks great, keep it up!

 

great job so far, congratz man

 

Always such nice feedback! You are a wonderful person, thank you

thank you soooo, soo much

*bows* Thank you!

Thank a lot MisterX, nice to see you here!

Thank you!


Hi everyone!

Ive been struggling the last few weeks with the PSU... it has been awful. The PSU is originally semi-modular. But when I got it (won it in a competition) the modular cables were missing... So instead of buying extra cables or a new PSU, I got the BRILLIANT idea of making the PSU fully non-modular... "Seems fine to me!"... until I saw the cables lol.

Every cable is coming from a splitter, one big cable splitting into 3 or 4 cables. Which makes it hard to do custom cables.
But after some blood & tears I finally did it!

I have also shortened all the cables.

Added the hexagons from the laser cutting to cover the modular holes.



















(dont mind the pump haha, its attached to the PSU)







Here is what the fan placement looks like. Im really glad that Im able to hide the fans, I dont like the look of fan-borders everywhere.





Sleeving on its place now! Going to tidy it up some more, but Im still waiting for the second GPU to move in before I can to that.





Almost finished now.















I hope you still like it with some colors in it

 

Love it, ALL of it! Love the colors, the tube run, the insanely OCD PSU sleeving (you MUST be crazy). It's quite literally ALL GOOD! So is that case. Almost makes me want to abandon my over-sized Case Labs cube for something prettier!

 

great choice of colors with really cool pipes. so nice.

 

well builds like this makes me love those little cases and itx/matx. I think i will leave full tower for my next build well done

 

Chrome-plated pipes are still the best solutions , and you made a fantastic work playng with bends

The central section were pipes are alligned is fantastic

 

*bows* Thank you for the beautiful words Im so happy you like it!

Its a great case! Next mod will probably be ATX again. I cant decide which the better form factor is

Thanks alot

Matx is probably the most effective form factor imo, but i also love mitx and matx builds.
thanks

It was really interesting doing pipes, its the first time im doing hard tubing. Im glad you like it



Almost the last update

Odyssey is finished, the last thing to do is the photoshoot. Will do that this weekend!
Meanwhile im going to update with some spare photos, and photos from the Dustin Expo.

Sleeved start button.



Intel SSD's 520 and 730. Will probably exchange the 520's to 730 in a moment.





Sawed-off SLI bridge!



And now for the expo. Had a great time together with GIGABYTE Nordic in their booth! Was fun meeting people and talk about computers and modding.










See you in a couple of days!

 

Hi and welcome to my last update.

The final pictures are done and here they are!

I hope you enjoyed my work log and I want to thank everyone who took a look at it.

Feel free to ask questions if you want.

























































Thank you (and see you again in the next project)!
