Scratch Build – Complete ⭐ Oracle Project

Hey folks! I'm finally back with a fresh new project for you, this time a mITX scratch build based on Oracle, a Persona 5 character.

This project is brought to you by *me*:
MSI Italy - Enermax Italy - Adata XPG Italy - PC Frog SRL Milano



Let's start off with some hardware pics. These include: MSI GTX 1070Ti Gaming X, XPG Spectrix D80 and SX950U 500Gb, Enermax SFX Revolution 650W and LiqFusion 240 with T.B. RGB Fans, Ryzen 5 2400G.

















And now the real stuff. First thing to do is create a base structure from aluminum profiles of various type: flat, squared, L-shaped etc.



And rivet everything together



Doubled it





Some preliminary test fitting



Internal mounts for acrylic fan and radiator holders

 

First episode of the video worklog. English subtitles available!

 

Update time!

Rad and fans mounting panels completed









Original layout I had in mind







New layout after rotating the case to drill some holes and noticing it was way cooler like this hahaha









Internal cover panels. The one above the graphics card also helps the card to stand in place and not move around

 

No doubt this is gannna end up another SJ classic love the layout and mats

 

Second part of video worklog is on:

 

Man those were some busy days... but I'm here again for an update!
Today we're taking a look at some final tweaks before the paintjob starts.

All the thread inserts for the external panels



UV green panels and other clear and to-be-painted panels











Design for fan vents







Added an aluminum flat strip to have a better structure for the acrylic panel that will hold the PSU

 

Looking good.
Not much room for a HDMI cable. Are you planning to add legs?

 

The whole case is going to be lifted so there will be plenty of room for any I/O cable

 

It's already cool

 

Here I am with a huuuge update!
I couldn't find an interesting way to make the feet of the case so I just went all out and made this out of 8mm acrylic, aluminum L-profiles and pine wood:











And no it's not an Omen X, as a lot of people said. The only thing in common is the cube form hahaha

Paintjob starts





Decided to leave central acrylic piece clear so I polished the edges



Swapped the motherboard for an MSI H310I PRO since the previous one was dead



Stencils on the internal panels









Majority of the hardware is in



UV LEDs all around the top and bottom sections





UV lighting test

 

being a sucker for uv - this ticks a lot of my boxes so far
will be impatiently awaiting further updates!

 

Thanks man!
Feel free to vote for it if you want: https://forums.bit-tech.net/index.p...arch-2019-in-association-with-corsair.359816/

 

Can you slip an extra strip of LEDs over the top edge of the motherboard plate? I think that would look sick.
Love it!

 

Thank you! I should be able to do that, I'll test it and see if it's worth it

 

it quickly took a very elegant shape , panels are awesome

 

Thank you very much!
