Scratch Build – In Progress Temp name: Black Tower project [Update 16 Sep 2008]

With scoop, hopper and BI-pod on it weighs 5.9KG. Its heavy But you get joust to it

 

A small update four now.

First i totally forgotten to make pic's of the goody's i have gotten a few day's a go.
The goodies



Their wear 3 hdd coolers but i sold one to a friend be four i made a pic of it
Hire you can see the Motherboard with the sound cart.



An better view of the motherboard.



Nice sweet motherboard
Back side view of the motherboard.



few pic's of the sound cart.





And the work i did until now.
Made the side panel of the motherboard box.



Still needs lots of work.
Hire you can see how its going look inside.



But be four i can go further. I need to go to the local hardware shop
Hope you all like it so far

 

Friend of mine got that motherboard a couple of weeks ago...it was borked from the get-go. He had to do an RMA on it the same day, after spending over €1500 on a brand new machine!

Hope your's works well!

 

I know. So far i understand their wear a bunch made real bad. But the latest batch weir made good. hope it aint broken this one. ore i will send it back

 

That's a real nice mobo. Let us know how those Scythe HDD coolers fair, I am thinking of getting one.

 

Thay are real good. My friend had an prob with one hdd Getting way to hot. Even with the 120mm case fan in front of the hdd bracket.
And with this it cooled down real good to a nice 21C. even in this enormous hot whether.
I think you can easily take a few more degrees out of it if you put some thermal grease between hdd and the cooler. And make the contact points on the cooler nice shiny bare metal

And btw thy are very cheap and very quiet. Only 14db

 

A real small update four now.

Made the holes four power and data wires. And the holes four the water cooling.
And glued the first parts off the motherboard box.





Still needs quite a bit of work. But thats four later.
Hope the glue dries fast so i can go and work further with the motherboard box.


Hope you all like it so far

 

Small update to day.
Du to i slip and fell real hard on the concrete flour. I have a real enormous pain in my lower back and right knee.
All to thank the cleaners. For once a gain to put the doormat on a wet flour. The flour was dry. But under the doormat it was still wet.
3th time this happen. 1th person fell on his but. 2th teared a part of his arm and 3th me.

My goodies came in yesterday after only having to w8 little over 30 hours to arrive from the us to my home. I am very amazes
Pitty not more companies send true FedEx Well this is what came in.



Most parts are four a next project.

And this is the work i did.
I totally forgotten to make the decal on the left side of the motherboard box
stupid me lol So i gently taken it off and the glue. Lucky i was planing to make reinforcements after the glue was hard.
so it had dent had a big surface to stick to.

So i made a template and cut it out of aluminum.

Looks nice. But this also needs still some work
Hopefully my back stops hurting soon and i can get to do more soon.
Hoop you all like the update

 

Ok a bit of an update today
Glued most parts of the motherboard box.



And while that was hardening i began to put on some filler.

Ive been so busy lately that i barely had time to update this.

 

Ok this is what i have don until now.

Made left side air ducts fins.



And hire the right one.



And the tip of my uncle to yous wood glue fore over the mdf filler. Realy works Its a lot more stronger and harder.
Begone painting the case but hire i kinda regret you zing mdf. It is defnitly not like painting metal. A layer of primer ore 2 and then paint a fuw more layers of paint over it.
Hell no. Mdf is so dry it sucks the primer in and the paint even wen you think you put on inf layers
So the paint is looking real horrible It dries un even. O whel Thursday i got time to go to the local hardware store. so ill get some more paint and do it all over.
Hope it wil work then better

I am so happy that i can cry :')
