Case Mod - In Progress Trident - Case Complete - Final Update

that looks great!!!!!!

 

cheers guys

 

I gotta say that looks wicked cant wait to see it built!

 

That looks really Nice, cant wait to see it fully built, I beleive your going to be taking it to epic.lan arent you so we can all get a first hand look at the master work there?

 

can’t wait to get and finish this baby, i have booked a week off starting the 22nd Feb and will plough through and get it finished, leak tested and burn tested ready fo the lan at the weekend \o/

 

Small Update - 19/02/10

Ok folks just a small update, i have now booked next week off work and intend to get the mod complete by mid-week to showcase at epic.three next weekend.
However i have done the front of the case tonight, what you think?

Assembled LCD displays to painted mounting bracket


Used super strong 'no more nails' double sided tape to attach bracket to top of case and mesh to front of case - boy this stuff works a treat and is easy to cut to shape


Glued Perspex behind window in top of case, and fitted LCD bracket into top of case.


A finished front end to the case, with slot drive fitted

3D CAD model of case design

Looks rather close to my design which is great

​

Left to do this week

• Cut Perspex window to size and fit to side panel
• install components and cooling into the PC
• Enjoy PC and LAN!

 

That looks so sweet!

 

Loving your work mate.

 

Looking good duder

 

Thanks all
Just waiting on the barbs to arrive then i will finish the mod, *fingers crossed* that will be monday or tuesday so watch this space....

 

Case Complete @ epic.three

I completed the case earlier this week but haven’t had time to take any photos of it yet.
However there are some photos of it at epic.three which is where i said the case would be first showcased!
Please see the photos below.

​

I will take my photos of the PC when i get home from lan and upload them mid-week, till then i hope the above photos show you how the final product came out

 

Some more pics from epic.Three
I will try and take some more photos of the case this evening

​

So what you think?

 

Final Update

Ok folks so after a manic week last week trying to get the case ready for epic.three i didnt get chance to upload any photos of my progress and how the case finished up.
As you can see from the above posts the case was finished in time to be shown at epic.three but to get it to that stage was very stressful.
Below please find the last few items of the project log, I would be grateful of any feedback.

Spray painted some large M4 Steel washers Black






Used the freshly painted washers to mount the Radiator to the top of the case as show above





Cut Perspex window to size and bonded into place, fitted drives and fans to front of case





Assembled front and side panels to case





Once i ran pump for a few hours and done leak test i powered on the machine





Final pic, of inside of case taken from rear fan​

So that’s it, the end of the project i will be trying to get some professional photos taken of the case and if that happens i will upload them here.
I should be going to i39 with the case but i have just been made redundant so that’s looking less likely.
Big thanks to all the people who have followed the build and a even bigger thank you to all me sponsors without either of the sponsors or fans this would have never become a reality..

 

Those porkz be humpin?
pr0nz on my interwebz! o noees!1!one!

 

any feedback at all?

 

Looks slick. The pitchfork in front of the red fans certainly has develish flair.

 

I like it!

Nice and clean, and a quality finish. I like the temperature sensors, they've given me ideas...

 

Needs an Aquatuning Sticker

 

First of all wow for the case!

I have access to CNC machines too and I am a graduating student at Mechanical Engineering this summer. My diplome work will be on water cooling for pc. I think I know Solidworks decently - so far I designed water blocks and now I am learning flow simulation. I can simulate fans, heat from processor, gpus but can you tell me how to simulate the radiator? Should I make all the fins and make liquid flow through them or... I think if I make those 25 micron fins the solving will take ages to complete. Nowhere in the internet this information can be found. You are my only hope. It will be very much appreciated

 

I did not design a radiator as i knew how much heat it would disperse (from the manufactures website) while it’s not going be 100% accurate it was more the enough for me to prove my designs and save me time having to design and develop a rad then having to simulate it.
Hope that helps?
Try checking a manufactures website for the tech specs on the rad you wish to use.
