Scratch Build – In Progress Silent Blue CaseCon (18 July Update)

NICE, looks great!

If you don't need the U channel for any type of electrical insulation:
If you have extra mesh, you could make your own U channel out of it to keep the style the same, but maybe paint it different for accent. Also, you could make U channel with some really thin gage sheet metal and just polish it up... It would take some work, but it looks like you have the patience for it!

 

Hmmm nice Ideas BigPoppaJNutZ. Never thought of sth like that. hm.....

 

Yeah, u-channel is rubber.

@ Sik19: Beautiful work, man.

 

U Channel can be made from all kinds of materials. Rubber, glass, wood, metal, composites...

 

LOL. Splitting hairs, man. I meant in this particular use (i.e. computer modding) it would more than likely be rubber.

 

nice work ...

 

Thanks guys, i´ll see what i´ll use in the end

 

DANGER, WILL ROBINSON!

The first two connectors are NOT wired the same as the second two.

The two on the left are wired:

Code:

Yellow     Red

Yellow    Black

And the two on the right are wired:

Code:

 Red      Black

Yellow   Yellow

I am making the assumption that all the connectors are the same way up. If so, DO NOT use this 'til this has been corrected, please.

 

Thanks man, but dont worry the first two connector are for S-ATA
But you are the first one who said sth. about the different wires

 

Ive looked at those photos a few times and ive not noticed it, each time im just impressed by the neat and tidy arrangement of the wires

 

me2 Fused

 

pssst.... im a trained electrician so its not really a big deal . But thanks im glad to hear that

 

I'm as well and yet I managed to blow up an old rig by wiretricking a fan adapter... R.I.P.

 

huh if you're trained electician you don't need colours you just know the scheme ;P... but trully it helps a lot. good job Sic19!!

 

^^

@Jipa: Everyones can have a bad day some time.

But i need your opinion guys.

Im thinking to paint the inside (only for the side where the mainboard psu etc. is) black, then i want to sand the mainboardcover down to blank metal and paint some shapes and a logo on it. What do you think? could this look good? Im not quite sure, but i think it wont look too bad.

 

Hi guys, long time no see.
The last few months i've had much to do for university nad stuff. But now are the first exams over, and untill the next ones, i have lots of freetime.

So today i had actually to look for my case con, where did it hide.
Eventually i found it under the stairs ^^

So i started the operation "Rescue the Con" and the case transfered into my room (which i has been cleaning for the last 2 days) safely.

After that i looked at the case and thougt "What to do next"

First
-> away with the motherboard cage, i dont need that

Second
-> definetly no paint on the outside.


The rest of the remaining day i spent, giving the plexi parts their final polish. In the end it was only one part, and only half of it :-/

Well here are the first pics after a long time from me.

Right from under the stairs:


And the plexi part i was polishing (one of the front thingies)
Before:


After:


I've spent a full hour for this ( i sure got rusty ^^). The next updates will be filled with more polishing im afraid, but i have to start slowly after such a long break. ;-)
Until next time

 

Hey guys,
today i could continue a little.

And again,
before:


and after:

 

Good to see you back.

 

Yes, it's definitely nice to see a new update on this bad boy. Extremely clean polishing work...man it's so worth it to take the time and do that.

 

Hi Guys, good to be back
Thanks.
