Scratch Build – In Progress Project: HourBeforeDawn, 10 of August

bad news on the fan grills, copper was to thin for the type of plasma cutter they were using sooo Im going to look around the shop for some heavier gauge material and then I can use Copper Clone to make it appear as copper.

 

well last night I got bored and mounted some of the fans to the rads and when I get the rest of the hardware for the rads I will then mount them into the case.

 

looking great, good luck with the rest of the mod, you have still got a long way to go before you aredone

 

thanks and ya I know =p
well..

Well some more news, I would like to welcome a new sponsor to the build;

 

more sponsorship love.



Well after a few back and forth emails and some one on one talks,
I have the pleasure to welcome



to the build and look forward to working with them during this project.

 

Looks like you have enough sponsors for computer components for life m8

 

yup and this will really help me be able to allocate more money for the modification of this project so Im looking into a few things that was I decided not to do due to money and so this will be interesting, I will have some updates on the project itself in the next week or so.

 

The case looks awesome and i love the colour scheme. I'm kinda new to modding and was wondering how much you think it'll cost for the case in total?

 

Well I got the U2-UFO Optimax Brushed Aluminum - Original Top and the modified the back to be a WTX and then when I was done with that I painted the case black but now that MM is offering customization what you could do is pick this case
U2-UFO Optimax Black Powder Coat - Original Top and then pay I believe an additional $50.00 to have them modify the back end to be the WTX style, now Im not sure but if they are doing a customization anyways then you might be able to get them to swap the mobo tray and the hard drive racks with the red powder coated ones and there you have it, now in total your looking at around $429.99 give or take on the customization cost and if they charge you for changing the colors on the tray and drive bays, but there you have it, you would have at least the same shell as I well for the most part you will.

 

Well the fan controller from SidewinderComputers.com came in today ^_^ what I plan to do is take it a part and paint the face plate black to match the case color.

 

congrats on the sponsor's you've been getting. The project is shaping up very nicely. And thats one heck of a lot of lighting equipment you have there

 

To get the OCZ to spons you, send you a mail to they or call you they?

 

You got some Sweeeet sponsor Love

 

Thanks guys well with some luck tomorrow I will be cutting out some other accent parts with the CnC machine assuming I can get to the machine before the students do as they have first rights to it

 

Well I got the power supply in from OCZ Technologies, they sent me the GameXstream 1010watt power supply and well I dont trust the 4 little screws to hold it up but that means I can make a custom bracket to help hold it in place.

 

Well I went to the hardware store to pick up a sheet of steel and while I was there I also picked up $15.00 worth of screws and nuts as well as a doorbell.




Now I got the doorbell so that I could do this, and man is it a perfect fit, a little adjustments here and there it will be perfect for my power switch.



Some more updates coming soon.

 

vrrrrrrrrry niiiice

 

well just letting everyone know that I will be out of town until the 1st of June, I will be in the Bay Area and in Santa Cruz so I wont be close to a computer for a while going to kick back and hit the surf ^_^

 

I would like to welcome my newest Sponsor:



they will be supplying me with the AlphaCool Cape Bullseye Reservoirs along with the Cape Bullseye Blende BE II mounting brackets I need for this build.
