Scratch Build – Complete Na'ir al Saif

Oldnewby doesn't know what glue is.

 

Any particular reason for not extending the Plexi to the edge of the aluminum?
I can't find a reason nowheres.

Looks wicked and clean as always.

 

looking good

are you gonna light the fans?

 

Magnificent work, nothing else to say.
5 stars and the vote for mod of the month from me.

 

love the case, not sure how I missed the thread.

Subbed

 

I'll shut up now. It's just I'm wired to think the plastic bits should be one part.

 

Yes, but what if one of the brackets snapped from the tremendous strain of space/time vectoring?

OK. I'll shut up too.

 

Hi oldnewby
And congratulations for your great work
But may I have your authorization to present your amazing work (Cygnus X1, Na'ir al Saif) to the HARDWARE magazine/PC UPDATE (www.techage.fr), two bi-monthly issues about PC Hardware and Software ? I will be very honored if I could.
Regards.

Manuel

 

Thanks a lot for the comments.

@elfedac, welcome to bit tech and permission granted.

It just never occured to me. I went for the bolts on autopilot.

Thanks Ediejo.

No reason. These are pretty utilitarian and are just to hold the fans. They won't be seen
when the chassis is complete.

Haha.

(serious voice) Yes those bolts are made from a cobolt, berillium, titanium, hafnium,
neodymium, Ijustmadeitupnium alloy. They are designed to shear on approach to
the event horizon thus protecting the occupants....good grief....I'll shut up now.


So the fan bodies are fitted.



All the brackets are different and in different positions due to the rear channel mounting.



My mind drifted for just a second and I drilled right through the second skin.
I can fill this later.













The next step is supposed to be making the cover but I don't have the GFX card yet,
and I really need it in place to see how much room I have.
I'll just have move onto something else.

Back soon.

 

Very nice. I like the look of the case in the last pic. Those fan housings look really good in the case IMHO.

I hope you keep the case bare metal.

 

Hmmm, acrylic bar on top. Do I foresee fancy lighting?

 

These fan holder really give to the case an unique shape

 

This is some amazing work Oldnewby. Just came across the build yesterday and will be following it closely.

 

Yum!

 

Amazing work as always.
The constant flow of updates makes me wonder what you do for a living? If you have a job while you have the time to produce at this pace..then it's hat of for you...again

 

I hope so!

 

I love that First shot with the Acrylic bar.
It's just so shiny~

 

looks like its coming along great, like the idea with the fans

+1 form me..

 

Looked through the last update again just now.
The word 'Utilitarian' made me want to do a scratchbuild based 90% on function and 10% on making it look gritty.

Curse youuu!
:fist shake:

 

I think you should stop now because it already looks so badass.
