HPRES III MEGA Complete, ty all.

NEXT! was to put those LED's to good use!! and i gotta say......its great to see somethings just work to plan!


the first shot was under almost full light....and still i was impressed.






Next was with one light on in the workshop






Finally lights out!!!!!!! the MEGA res looks so classy really catches the light off thr back panel.......













Next was to try the MEGA res with the "bondo'd" custom side panel......the effect is more than i'd had hoped for... thelight that comes thru is very even and intense.









Whats that i hear you say?? "but defyant! dosn't the back panel have "RED" lights as well!"

Well it sure does guys take a look see HPR3's Mega Res can not only look cool! but RED HOT as well

 

And perhaps for the most amazing side bonus of having both RED and BLUE lights!! heres somthing i didnt see comming!



















im having soooo much fun playing with this new technique.... and i may still "frost" the whole res yet!!

More soon guys.

 

Great stuff Def, can't wait till you finish this beast!!

 

wow i can look at this the whole day

 

NOOO please dont frost the res...the contrast is amazing with clear and the frost....i will not near as spectacular if you do in my humble view.

 

It's RED!!!! No... It's BLUE!!!! No... It's PURPLE?! Who cares, IT'S FLAT UP COOL!!!!

 

whooo cool lighting

 

that looks the bees knees...

 

Wow, just wow i'm up early and still reading every page of this keep up the awesome work, I like the idea of the frost cables aswell.

Brilliant tbh keep it up

 

You all knew that HPR3 was going to have a motherboard cover just like HP2 and Heveyplex SLB i wanted to carry the tradition into this mod as well.

But knew i had to come up with something new....something or an idea that hasnt been seen before.

The hole internal frosted plex theme was goin to be the biggest bonus for this next mod and would allow me to do something that was a little more "out-there"


Of course the material of choice is plex!! a pretty much freehand pattern is cut using the good o'l jigsaw....






Next was to bend the edges to make the" Cage"









The paper is stripped off and the cage is layed in for a test fit









I picked abunch of these little fans up,while i dont think the cage needs any extra cooling i just thought the frosted look of the mini fan would make a geat looking addition.






A hole is meaured, marked and cut







Another is added for the AGP card and allows for the water cooling.

 

With the 2 main holes cut with only the CPU cooling holes to be added later the cage is taken inside and frost sanded, with 800g wet and dry.





A back wall that was previously cut was also sanded.




the new panels are slotted in and again checked for fit.




The cage will allow for plenty of airflow to pass thru its large claw type arches

















The previously modded DD-TDX block is bolted in, holes are marked and drilled for the the water lines to pass thru.

 

All thats left to at this stage is to see how the cage works with the rest of the lighting.

with all blue lighting , the cage only needs 2 extra lights for a full effect.








With the backbard lit red and blue lights in the cage









and again using both red and blue lights to produce a purple effect on the back board.

 

all i can say is

if only i could find a good supply of pleix, pfft like gold dust in my part of the UK i swear

 

wooow , amazing
again a darn beautiful mod by you ....

 

Brilliant lighting, the frosted plexi looks amazing Inspiring work defyant

 

Love it, the combination of those color effect works so well as with teh frosting.

 

ARREST THIS MAN! NOW!

ARREST THIS MAN FOR CRIMES OF MAKING THE SEXIEST CASES EVER!!!!

damn man, your work is amazing, i LOVE the side panel with the res, it looks really different!

i also love the cage, it makes the whole case look very very very clean!

 

what you talkin' 'bout willis!

B&Q sell sheets of acrylic, i bought myself a 1800x600x5 sheet of it for £29 and damn it rox!

if you got a B&Q near you, pop in, and if they dont have any tell them to order some from the guildford branch
