Case Mod - In Progress Q-vent 900 - winner MotM feb. - customPC article

so, current status in gluein


some better shots of the feet

and bought some white delrin on ebay, yes, for no reason

days ago i recieved my mdpc-x sleeve, heres what it looks like

lasercut stuff arrived




then i started making a cover for the front



the same out of styrene

then i made a cover for the plexi strip on the rad cover

glued some aluminium foil in there and added some leds

neat

even more when you turn the shutter speed down

since i had to remove the radiator to fit that thing in, well, was to bored, so these are the only shots ive taken


lights off

gotta remove some dust

more tomorrow

 

Wow, those are some intense LED's...

 

Nice work on the bending.

 

This is one seriously amazing worklog. Wonderful attention to detail.

 

Looks fantastic!!!!!

 

Man those laser cut plexi bits look great. I can't wait for this to be all together, it will look insane.

 

the bottom part is almost done

with the case


after that i disasembled the whole case to fit the led unit in, the result wasn as pleasing as i hoped

even worse in complete darkness

first coat of primer

then i made a cover for the harddrive drawer

then i started gluing the new front

and another coat of primer...

yeah

 

Dude, looks awesome. I really like you you are having the hoses and SATA cables run out of the case than back in, most people would have stealthed em, I like that.

 

Sha-wing!

 

Wow very nice.

 

congrats on the win Herr Froop. I live in Germany as well and also do all my work in the cellar. mmmmm fumes and material dust.



and my neighbours now hate me. Dremel on alu isn't noisy is it?

 

hey,
i still havent recieved my motm stuff *hinthinthint* but ill have an update for you guys

and ive made a new cover for my modem and my router

then i started with the top section

its 15mm square aluminium, which isnt THAT cool to work with
everything will be held togehter by m4 screws


and some aluminium angles


right under the removable top/vent sits the dvd drive

 

Looks awesome! Can't wait to see how the removable top comes out

 

I'll second that, great stuff! I wish I had a workshop like that as well

 

AMAZING

 

SWWWWEEEEETTTT!!!

 

so i swapped out the 20y/o main shop light

with this one

then i finished the frame, added some angles to the dvd drive and made the sidecovers



yeah thats all

 

Dude, that looks seriously good

 

Very nice.I thought at first that the aluminium frame is a handle.

 

this is looking great!
