Scratch Build – In Progress METO aKa projekt scrapheap challenge - watercooled and topped

that should be it spammed to page 2... sorry, but the 100 of image on the other page was annoing xD... now for the update:

the finished milling result... will have to do some more about this... but you get the idea...

(sorry for blurry pics...)



and the other side... i might do something about the milling traces, sand it or something... might paint it on one side... still thinking.. any suggestions?



it looks sooo cool under UV.. i have a m8 thats foto freak and hope to maybe give him the challenge to take a photoshoot of the thing when its done xD.. would be nice

comments?

 

sanded it down a bit:
and how it looks under uv

 

aaaaaaand.... christmas update!

tapping time!


done with mobo plate





hdd & dvd plate fitted



and feets which are gonna be led as previous mentioned.


thats all for now and a while, marry christmas everybody!!!

may you get the modding parts you desire

 

From what I've read... don't remember where, but I think it was in a comment thread to some extensive fan test.. perhaps over at scilentpcreview.com... anyway, those Noctua fans don't handle back pressure well, and thus they are not well suited for pushing/sucking air through a radiator.. especially not with that restricting hole mesh on it. Another fan with less steep angle on the fan blades might give you more cooling at the same noise level. The Nexxus D12SL-12 fan for example, is very quiet and handles the back pressure better. I bet there are other fans that would work better as well.

 

ive tryid to get those fans but they are not selled in my country

i got the camera working!... sort of.. got my card reader working so... a little loose end from last:

the feets:


and i got my dremel at christmas!§

niiice





just kidding...

dremel 300:


and got the spare plates cut off the main parts, made the whole thing look twice as small xD:bunny:



and them both... it still looks very non finished... but i hope itl soon change! just have some hardware i need :/


i couldnt resist!.. a little teaser and need som help from you guys
masking tape... gonna be removed soon tatadaaaa


blurry pic sry for that xD


NOW!... should it look like this:


or this:


i think im gonna go for the brushed look and i might paint it black... will have to try this on some scrap piece.

also made my own home made round IDE cables because i was bored this is very easy to do and they work fine afterwords, just get a little knife and cut a tine whole between the wires and then just use force to seperate the rest from the rest of the big wire


thats all i got for now... happy newyear and comments to everybody!

 

Looks fine / ser godt ud

Im looking forward to seeing the mod in its final phase. Think its gonna look sweet!

Keep up the good work

 

thx alot yeah.. just hope that it gets to that phase soon xD

 

Hey pOPe... very nice craftmanship. Looking forward to se how this looks when its done.

Keep up the good work

 

Looks interesting, but: Would you please resize your pictures? They take almost 30 MB on the first page and more than 15 MB on the second page. That's way too much. Loading takes ages and scrolling is less smooth than usually.

 

The pics are huge! I can tell you need to clean under your fingernails!
Seriously, you will run out of bandwidth soon if you don't resize them.

 

that should do the trick.. just have to find the rest of the pics and reupload them they are on my lappy or some other place lol

thx for the comments

 

Thats the same mobo i have in my linux server
looks good. gonna watch this one.

 

update about the raddy

finally got some spare time to play with the computer again

and cleaned my desktop


at school i made this for fun and to see how the text would turn out, it was just a quick skecth but i like it




look how thich this plate is 10mm xD took a lot of time to mill


for the raddy mount this was what i made first


i then decided to just make 2 plates that would hold each end




no chance of the mobo suffering of air need


from the rear


again


mounted with theese


and this was a little idea i had, gonna think a bit more about that heh


just playing with the design for the top, take a look

scanning the drawing in and making it a texture


making splines above the text


correcting measures of splines


extruding the splines to get the text


applying text to a plate


the finished result with a glass plate on the back:


thats what i just got made im thinking of something in the middle under and above the text but didnt get that made today so now im going home


thats all for now, im wating on reply on how to get the missing parts and hopefully ill soon make enough money to buy em if i cant get something sponsored

have fun lads^^

 

Nice! looking good! keep it up!

 

ive also made a drawing of the side holders... this should be done tomorrow i hope

 

Yo pope.. If you need hosting you can use my webhotel..

It´s with unlimited bandwidth, so gimme a pm if you want access.

That sideholder looks advanced! Looking forward to see how it turns out

 

ey thx man ill considder that right now im working on whats its gonna cost me to get the same on my website but its a nice offer takker så meget

finally got the parts done!... my group mate came 2 hours late so suddenly we had alot to do:/.. but i managed to make a little of my own once in a while

the results (no wip sorry... but guess you know the drill):



and this is how they are to be placed:



the wholes i countersunk



so it would look like this



you can really see the milling traces xD... looks kinda cool actually so i think ill keep it this way





and the fun part! tapping:bunny: dont know why but i love this part







there is only one little problem, you would notice that on the first picture there is a gab between the bar and the plexi... this is why:



... have to countersink this mofo.. but then everything should fit like a glove

and you may have noticed all the closeups... i "borrowed" my sisters cam and went mental... this was what came from that:











that was what i had to offer

comments are highly recommended or else the dog is gonna eat you! xD

 

looks very nice.. keep up the good work..

by the way, are you from denmark?

 

yes i am

have a look at this



the hoses to the harddrive compartment



and i put it all together after having cleaned and sanded the edges down on the alu pieces i made



that thing is rock solid:O



the large screws is gonna be replaced with some shorter ones... but i didnt have any other xD

and this sucks... i kinda knew it but choose to forget about it:/ have to do some dremel work here... the bit thing has to be clear of the plexi



and some perspective shots





and got a hold of theese 4 cobber pieces gonna use them for something... havent decided what yet





but there are many thing to do with such goddies

cu later hope you like

 

custom heatsinks?
