I was planning this from very long time but never have time to do it,work bench This is the project made with google sketchup



Not many photos of the work , I was in the rush Job almost complete



And work place ready for modding I also made a shelf and installed better lighting



My missis was very happy,that I'm not going to use the dinner table any more Ok,enough talking lets start modding

Case stripped



I can easily fit inside two triple radiators, it makes me very happy





First I will replace the standard case feet with those with wheels









More cutting,drilling and more weight reduced





I'm planning to cover the inside with white acrylic and make a lower chamber. First everything from
cardboard





And what the inside will look very roughly





The HDD cage will be just in front the PSU

Wow that was very long writing That's all for now lads.I will come back soon with more photos,so stay tuned for more

 

Following

 

It's been a busy week for me at work,so I manage to made some progress today.I start cutting the acrylic.
First sheet









Drilling holes,so the front panel can fit on properly on place



It's time for the second panel



And the final result



Not bad at all.I still need to fix the supporting bars,cut the the front panel and install the radiator.I'm planning this for tomorrow,so stay tuned for more

 

I've made some progress today and yesterday. The openings for the front radiator are ready



My trusty jewellery motor next to the dremel



Back from the past-Made In GDR.Still working perfectly since 1980



And in action



And the rads in place with some of the hardware



Now it's time for painting.Stay tuned for more

 

Another update from today with some photos of the painting job.

Good scrubbing of the rads





Ready for few coats of primer



And job done







I couldn't resist to apply the silver color on one of the parts Looks promising



That's all for now.Very soon there will be more photos

 

Hi everyone,

Another update with photos Until I was waiting the paint to arrive, I decided to make a new front grill for the case.

Starting with piece of acrylic



Cutting the existing front panel,so the new grill can fit



Final adjustments on the front panel









And the grill fits perfectly on place



Still gonna be like door



Existing doors needs to be cut





It's time to do the grill





And the final product



There will be a mesh between the grill and the existing doors and I'm planning to add something in the middle,so stay tuned for more

 

Wow. In the last article furiously Plus - what we must have patience, I would have died twice during this process.

 

It took me almost one day for the last part,to file the openings I've cut But it was worth it

 

Thats a lot of hard work doing that by hand. looks good though

 

Looking nice,look forward to seeing how it turns out

 

Patience for that job. Good job

 

looking good!

 

Hi guys,
I'm showing some photos of the progress from last two days. I've made silver coil with my previous project blue,this time I decide to go further and to do something more than simple coil.So here we go

I will do EK anticyclone plate from fine silver



Usual tools for my projects







Not really easy to cut,the silver plate is 4 mm thick



But I've done it



Final touches with the files





And the plate is ready







That is all for today.Stay tuned for more

 

Gold? It is becoming popular

 

It's just reflection form the box in front of the plate It's actually silver.

 

nice, that is one very cool anti-cyclone plate...

but I thought ek's offical standpoint was that silver is a no-no and voids their warranty

regardless, it looks awesome, and would love one for my res!

 

Thanks mate This is just fine silver,it won't harm the system.But anyway looks better than plastic

 

Thanks!

 

don't worry, I know that... just thought it was a bit ironic, that EK dosn't want people to use silver, and then you go and carve an ek logo into a big slab of silver and put it in the middle of the res...

 

I didn't know that , but yes you are right there is only benefits using fine silver in the system
