Scratch Build – In Progress Thermaltake Invitational - Extermination by RandomDesign

Love that shoulder pic.

 

So here is the last update before the final pictures.

First of all I want to thank Gosumodz for providing some nice sleeves and cable management stuff
for this build.



I installed the hardware at this moment. Therefore, I screwed the motherboard tray in place.



Before putting the mobo in, I installed the needed fittings for the watercooling.



Then the water cooling loop was build. Most parts are build from acrylic pipes. Only on the backside and
the middel section, I used flexible tubing.





Next, the details for the main doors were painted gold.



At the moment, I am finishing the cable management and will do some final touch ups.
The final pictures will be uploaded on Monday then.

 

woooops double post

 

The build is great, but that's the worst pet pic ever. Man! That is an ugly parrot.

 

But he is not talking that much like a parrot

And its done! Here are some final pictures of the Dalek.

 

Hell yes!! Stunning work man!!

 

Thanks man!

Here I made a short video showing all the functions of the mod:

Incredible work as usual, your skills and your creativity are just insane, and your ideas are always outstanding, and always a fun to follow like your threads....

 

That is insanely good- Just love the use of the led lights- top notch work
Wonder if it would be possible to get the doors motorised so that they could be cracked randomly for an even spookier effect

 

Thanks guys. Haha, you are not the only one that asked for automatic doors. Maybe if I have some more free time to spend I will come back on this one.

 

Great stuff, just watched the video. That TT contest is crazy. So many superb builds!

 

Incredible build. Attention to detail, craftsmanship and ingenuity are top shelf. I also vote for the motorized door option. I'm guessing the on-board PC is controlling the functions?

 

Very nice work.

 

Thanks guys.
As to the functions, the LED effects are controlled by a self soldered circut. The mororization of the head is realised with a motor and a simple switch to make it turn in both directions. The servo for the nose is hooked up to an arduino. For the light and the reactive sound module, I programmed a raspy. So each component is controlled by one unit. I could combine everythin to one arduino or raspy, but it was easier for me to make each part individually in that short amount of time.

 

Personally, I think you've done enough. The rig is exceptional, and there's plenty of bells and whistles to give you a great shot at winning.
Any more extras and it may go forth and do some exterminating.

 

Thanks! Yeah but there is always something to improve. Depending if I want to showcase the mod on some exhibitions this year, I might rework some minor parts. But in the end I am pretty satisfied with the result.

 

I added a short making of video:
