Scratch Build – In Progress BaDassumption - Photo Shoot...

Dutch...your insane. This mod is insane.

 

We've gotta buid it before we paint it...

More Wire Holes...

Argh, argh... big mill is good... a whole inch or so to spare...



But she was chatterin'... so she needed a couple of braces inside...



I left some more room in this hole because the wires will move when the mainboard tray gets pulled out (the goal is to keep the rig operational with the mainboard pulled out)...



You have to look real hard, but you can see them if you look down from above...

 

Awesome mod. I'm very glad they put it on the front page, or I would have missed it.

After you finish the comp, how 'bout posting a Sketchup tutorial!!

 

Hey there dutch, glad to see you finally makin some progress on this computer box.. weren't you talking about this a year or two ago on a couple different forums?

I'm definetely seeing some big daddy roth influence..

^^^ That's one of my all-time favorite cars...

Great to see you're still kickin' about...

 

Damn, I couldn't sleep, so I started reading this log...now sleep is impossible

This thing you're making is simply awesome, the billet aluminium, the attention to detail and the overall design of the case. Reading the whole log took me a while, but it was well worth it.

Keep up the undescribeable work, you just got a new fan

Janne

 

wow awesome ideas and perfect execution we have 2 cnc gods (well you are using milling machine) really impressed by the creativity of some individuals and thanks to bit-tech coverage in the main site i found this awesome mod and the orange monster

 

Congrats on the front page dutch. Your project is truly one of a kind..

 

Im speechless, the amount of time and detail gone into this mod has just florred me.

How i would love to have access to that kind of equipment and the skills necessary to build something like that!

 

leviathan18 - cnc means computer numerically controlled, and that mill is manual, He would be called Mill God instead, but dutchcedar hasnt done much on the mill yet

 

^^^ Aye, its certainly not a CNC mill... yet, anyways... If GT69's equipment is Ferrari, mine is more like Model T... 'cause ya gotta crank it.

Its all in fun, though. I'm working on a device that let's the rig stay running while the mainboard tray is pulled out... allowing all of the liquid cooling lines to stay connected... its as much a milling exercise as anything else... fingers crossed in hopes it works.

Janne... get some sleep...

 

This is how it turned out...



I'm waiting on some pivot pins and tubing to test it out. Wires will run through the center...

 

Wow just wow. Thats Amazing. I cant wait to see more

 

That is so nice. I can't wait for the finished product on this one.

Will the tubing be opaque or will you make all the wires going throught the tube 1 colour?

 

Dutchcedar, this is just... jaw-dropping.

Thank you for bringing so many new ideas, I can't wait to see the next step!

Best regards from sunny southern France...

 

very nice. looks like you're getting used to that mill then...

 

red and blue wires would look nasty kinda like viens and arteries

 

^^^ Maybe I didn't explain well enough...

The tubes are coolant lines going into and out of the pump. Wires (mainly for the HDD's and from the BaDactivity pod) will run between them, under the folding aluminum arms (hopefully into and out of the lowest holes).

Maybe the first sketch of it will explain better...

Slowly but surely...

 

The first test "in the box"...





Its kinda hard to do without bolting this stuff down, but it seems to work like its supposed to...





Ever wonder why all the holes in back are 9/16"?

 

Nice Looks good and functions well I see. Great thinking there.
