Scratch Build – In Progress Project: Black N' Blue - 6 May-FINAL PICS

Hi.

Now its my turn to show my scratch build, please come with questions and criticism on the way

For those who are familiar with Mod Men Show, will probably recognize it, its quite similer to their stratch build, but I fell in love with it, and wanted to make one myself
The basic design is similar to theirs, but changed things here and there, to put my own stamp on it

Everything is made ​​by hand or with manual machines, so no CNC equipment is used.

Spec.

material: MDF, plexi, stainless steel, nylon,

Hardware:
Asus Gene-z
Samsung 128GB SSD
8gb Kingston RAM
Zotac AMP2 580 3GB
Intel i5 2500K

Water cooling:
2xSingle radiator
XSPC raystorm cpu cooling head
EK gtx580 block
innovatek tube
Laing DDC pump
XSPC Laing DDC Reservoir Top
Feser fittings

Here is a rough drawing of the project, perhaps some things get changed underway


The first steps

4 pieces of 20mm MDF glued together and milled out with a router from a template, i made out of some thinner wood, However, it still remains some holes




that's all for now, hope you like it

 

The initial renders look fantastic, can't wait to see how you pull it off! Great start!

 

that render looks.....

now get to modding!!

 

hmmm... someone inspired by the idontrememberthenamebutcheapsandcpcandsomeguysmadeit ? really nice design! i take it as you have worked with mdf before?

 

sweet render mate cant wait to see how this comes along

 

Subscribed!

 

Thanks for the feedback

as I wrote in the introduction, I have gained much inspiration from mod men show
About MDF, I have worked a little with it some years ago, but not for casemodding

A little update

Spacers between the top and bottom plates






Template to create the blue plexi-plates


Done




Test mount


polishing of the plexiglass


Thats all for now

 

Very interesting. I think I'll be watching this one.

 

Update 16/3

New toy


Some stuff form Aquatuning.de
-Colour for the water from Primo chill-steel blue
-2xUV diodes
-GTX580 backplate
-Fancontroller


2 lead-through for the tubing, 2 more is made for the pci-e cables


the standoffs for the motherboard


Well it all went so well, so did not really get so many pictures, but here is a test mount of the motherboard and optical drive, but as you se the top plate i done, and one of the plexi sides, some holes here and there are still missing


Back to work

 

Love that mobo, but your camera makes the ROG redness a bit too orange. Maybe play around with the white balance (if possible in your camera), or post process the pics?

Also: "The Mod But Show"? I'm pretty sure I never heard about that one - is it a secret, parallel show to the "Mod Men Show"? Perhaps the bloopers reel? ))))

 

haha my bad

 

Some sanding here and there, test mounting the psu and pump in the bagground, fits ok




ready for the vinyl foil, to be mounted

(bubbles are removed after the picture was taken)


foil mounted on the bottom plate, shiny

 

The Mod Men PC will have a run for its money with this one. Fantastic.

 

Great progression!
And nice new tool there! Got one of those myself

 

Excellent looking really good & love those mobo spacers. stars +rep

 

Things are moving quickly
Foil mounted, grid has been put in, and plexi ribs fit as they should


The drive is in place


Power button is mounted and the pci cables are in place

 

man that looks good

 

last shot looks great, its a nice idea using those fittings to route-cables.

 

Yup, coming along very nicely. Shiny last shot!

 

Thanks
