Scratch Build – In Progress Project: Multi Hex (Jobs done, ready to work)

just sleeve the cpu fan you'll be fine
this is looks great btw!

 

Great choice in board

Looking sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat

 

Awesome, love everything about it ...congrats on MOTM too!

 

Nicely restrained design work...I don't do "restraint" very well myself.

I envy the sheet-metal design knowledge that is obviously behind these parts. Are the edges sharp? That's my only worry...

Again, nice use of minimal color and non-use of bling.

 

Kicking myself for not making an exception for my 3 limit motm voting, really sweet build Archer .

 

everything about this build is just

keep up the good work mate +rep and subbed

 

Nice mobo and awesome sleeving
had to lol at the stock cooler, hadn't seen one of those in quite a while

 

Brilliant sleeving and awesome hard-ware. All round brilliant work .

 

WTH? I thought I had already subbed to this one? Oh well, here I go...

 

Thanks, but I may disappoint you soon, going to put some dim LEDs in...
As for the edges, they are not really sharp, especially after powder coating. Even the corners refuse to cut me Stay on the lookout for my next project, it will have bends too

Haha, next time then I'll be sure to make your top 3 list

A thousand thank you's!

Itching to get this stock cooler off now, but BF3 has sideswiped me

Thanks!

And now I will activate that subscription with......





I finally have one that I can call my own Expect to see more work this weekend. It all just depends on how much our new puppy keeps me busy

Also, wanted to show what I had in mind for the motherboard. Unfortunately I couldnt make it work the way I wanted, theres simply too little space to get it everywhere, and then the lighting wouldve ended up uneven.



See you guys again in a couple of days, cheers!

 

Nice tooley Let me know what you think of the router attachment of you use it.

 

Oooh, the digital Dremel. Tried it yet?

 

nice tool im getting one for christmas cant wait to use it

 

Hey everyone, sorry for the delayed update. I have a puppy to take care of now, and he was "distracting" me the whole wknd

So where to begin... Well I just had to test my Dremel so I got to work on cutting out the side panel. I first clamped it to the panel, and then drilled the mounting holes for it. After that, marked up where to cut and off I went. Started off with a cutting bit, but that wasnt yielding good results. Ended up cutting the perspex with one of the cutting discs. Trick was to simply take it slow and all is well





Leaving the protective film on for now as it wont be fixed to the case yet and I want to minimise the chances of scratching it. Next I got around to getting the SSD mount close to finished, Actually had quite a bit more to cut off, but after learning how to cut on the window it was smooth sailing. You can see the Dremel was on the front lines today, hehe



I applied some semi transparent frosting to the SSD, and lit it up with some a LED strip I have lying around and hey presto, not too bad methinks. I must just thread the holes properly and then the mount is 100% done and my SSD can finally stop hanging in mid air



While all that was happening I had already tubed up the water loop. I was mighty glad how the CPU cutout on the mobo was in the perfect spot. Really made the block installation much much easier. And so it sat for the next 24 hours, waiting for any leaks to appear...




24 hours later and there were no leaks That was a big relief, though I do catch myself still checking it from time to time.





Cheers for now! Hopefully next time I'll be close to the finish line

 

Whoop whoop plumbing! Gotta go show that off @ the OC lan!

 

looking smart mate

 

Hey fellow case modders from SA!!! Here I was thinking I was the only one Awesome..pity you guys stay in Cape Town...Maybe I should move my holiday to cape town...hint hint....

Loving the mod man!!! It is top notch might be dropping you some pm's soon to findout how you sneaked 'THE BESTEST SLEAVING IN THE WORLD!!!' into our humble little country that never has anything we need locally...dame you africa!!!

Now I really need to get done with that designing for my scratch build...

 

The idea you had going there with the lights under the Sabertooth TA would have looked awesome!!
And congrats on the WC loop running without any leaks

And the reflection (probably not reflection, rather refraction) of the hexagons in the res looks awesome

 

@Razer - dont know if I'm going to be done in time for that! Wouldnt mind showing off a bit though
@Guunkushnaka - getting the sleeve in was really easy. And if you need help with your design, ask away
@Sarakon - yip, really disappointed I couldnt fit the lights in under there A custom mobo plate cover thingy is going on the top of my list on the next build!

And to everyone, thanks for the great words

 

Awesome another SA modder. Check us over at Losias too you guys. Bring some loooooove.
