Modding Project: Epiphany - 100% complete - ORAC inspired mod

What's up guys

A few days ago i finished a mod i've been working on since the beginning of 2006. I worked very very hard, and now it's finally complete. I called the mod Epiphany.

So let me give you guys the background about this mod before i show it to you.

A few years ago i read a CustomPC magazine and saw the ORAC machine in it. It was really the most amazing mod i had ever seen. To this day, i still believe ORAC to be the most amazing mod. So i decided to do a mod of my own. This was the first real mod that i was to do, and i had absolutely no modding skills whatsoever.

I didn't, however, want to make my case exactly like ORAC. I just wanted it to look similar. I even spoke to Peter himself and he gave me all his best wishes, and wished me luck for this mod. I still need to show him. hehehe.

Anyway, here it is. Let me know what you guys think

























































And one last time.... full case pic:



The eject buttons in action

Can't believe i'm finished

 

I really like it, its a little busy for my tastes, but I love the blue/clear/white/chrome colour scheme. Although I think something should be done with those right side Antec fans on the radiator. Some kind of fancy grill will cap those off nicely.

 

Thanks guys

@Matt: I actually did make grilles for the radiator fans, have a look:



I chose not to use them though. I thought it looked nicer without them

 

Looks fantastic but is there no way to tidy cabling?

 

Gotta say I agree with Malccy and matt its looks great but I prefer minimal cable in a case, if it cant be helped then hey its great anyways, but if the cables were tidy and you could see in i think it would be way better.

 

The messy cables are the point of the mod. I WANTED messy cable. I generally hate cables, but when i saw ORAC, and how frikken awesome those cables looked, i wanted the same look and feel, hence all the cables.

 

Thats going to be a bitch to clean dust from lol but very cool mod took you long enough though lol

 

Nice, really nice.

I generally don't like cable mess, but in this case (haha! ) it looks good. It kind of gives it a organic look.

One thing, though. It seems like the PSU is sitting at an angle. Like it's to heavy for the mount.

 

thats pretty awesome!!!

 

Nice fan grill design -simple and effective. I also like how the blue looks with the chrome behind it. I'm thinking about using chrome now thanks to this... Maybe glitter will be cheaper... I suddenly have an image of a macaroni and glitter computer.

 

wow thats awesome

 

thread the wires through the macaroni aswell get some fake splatters of tomato sauce on the case aswell with normal house paint just splattered on punk rock man

 

Like smilodon said, the first thing that stuck out was that the PSU is sitting crooked.
Other than that it does have a very nice ORAC look to it, good job. And you said you had NO modding expierence, then definately, its a job well done!

 

I think that that is a front page mod!

 

Thanks guys

About the PSU. It is, in fact, standing at a slight angle. The pictures really really exaggerate that angle. In real life it's almost not even noticeable. I just need to put a little nut in the bottom screws, that'll sort it all out.

Come on Bit-tech staff, can i have a front page?

 

I like that alot, not a huge fan of rads mounted on side panels myself, but all the same it looks very very nice. great work

 

My favorite part is the front panel, very nice and clean, especially with your fan grille design which I think goes really well with the case and could easily be the case's logo. Nice job.

 

What case was that originally?

 

Thanks again guys

Mankz, it was originally a Gigabyte plexi case. However now there's not a single panel of the case that wasn't modded

 

very nice m8
well done
