Hey Guys Just a few pictures of my Orac inspired project (it all needs to get taken apart and polished). I have about 2 months invested. I hope you can see the pics.
Sorry, My Bad http://server5.uploadit.org/files/jeffrey9-IMG_0231s.jpg http://server5.uploadit.org/files/jeffrey9-IMG_0215s.jpg
Dude! Wow, I don't think I'd be calling this a "knock-off" of anything. It stands just fine on its own right. I don't normally go for acrylic cases, but you sure pulled this one off. It's nice to see something that clean and in blue. and keep on
Thanks. It may not be a knock-off, but I sure took more than a few ideas from the ORAC. Still have a way to go, but I happy with my progress so far. Sorry again about the pictures, I guess I am better at building them than using them. MS
I wouldn't call it a knockoff either. (I would if you had chosen green and silver) It looks really good. Don't forget to put a computer into it.
Thanks. It will be AMD A64@3200Mhz SATA Harddrives RAID 0 1000MB of memory Nvidia FX5900 Ultra Lynx 24bit Sound Card That's whats in the box I am using now. Still need to spend more time/money before making the "swap" (I have about $650us in that case).
Looks pretty good man! It's totally different from the Orac project by G-gnome, but I can see it's inspired by that though.

Thanks. http://server5.uploadit.org/files/jeffrey9-IMG_0278s.jpg I may change the floppy drive black-face to 5" to give a more even look to face. Also what about the clear acrylic fan cover, think blue would be beter?
yer blue wouls probs look better, but its up to you, if you are happy with the case then u keep it just how you want it, but keep up the good work and dont OVERKILL it
You know, that is what is cool about a custom case, I will get the hack-saw out and make a blue fan cover. I can always switch back and forth when I get sick of looking at the thing. The reason I when for clear acrylic was my hero's ORAC box. MS
lol yer custom cases are very cool, i love having them with bits that you can constantly change around if and when you feel like it, i am designing a huge mod for 2 computers in my room, but 1 of them wil be controlling everything from my lighting in ma room, too the opperation of my TV. I realy need 2 start to design the cases, and yours is all inspiring wiht it being a custom case, i realy need some £££ though
Not from scratch, I started with a C3 clear case, they make great stuff, and made in the USA, which was a shock when I saw the casting. I though America only made trouble. MS
Brilliant work! The only thing I can see straight away that looks like a ripoff is the front fan grill... If you changed that to another design it wouldn't be anything like orac.
Honestly, I would never have started this project without reading about ORAC. I will make-up a Blue front fan cover and see what it looks like, Pictures to come. PS I looked high and low for thin perforated stainless to use for a intake fan filter, but could only find a 4'x4' sheet for big money. I think a sheet of perforated stainless under the clear grill would look great instead of wire-mesh covering the 120mm fan. Any help????? MS
