I really like those Enermax fans, Cooler Master do a similar design now as well, they don't look as good though. Personally I have never really liked Enermax PSUs, I find their choice of cable sleeving really off putting, I mean out of all available sleeving they go for that black and yellow. Congratz on the PSU though.
Thanks Yeah i hate the sleeving lol, it isn't even good quality sleeving really. I am going to resleeve it though, don't worry
Update #6 - 29/03/2010 A few people wanted pics of the motherboard blocks. These were custom made for the previous owner by Duniek. The copper has tarnished since then and the acrylic is a bit scratched and dirty. They really don't suite the look of the build as is, so I am going to have some white tops made and get the copper cleaned up and nickel plated. Copper could do with a polish! This MOSFET block is genius engineering - Duniek is an absolute god at making waterblocks! The block has to clear some chokes, which is why the acrylic is so complex in design. YOu can see the cut out for the chokes. This is the big SB block. Again, could do with some cleaning. And the NB block - I think Duniek has a generic design for this, since the copper part is identical to the copper part on my Zotac 9300-itx block, also by him.
Those blocks look great, I especially like that Mosfet block. You should polish that copper up and seal it, it will look amazing.
Update #7 - 2/04/2010 Happy easter guys! This is the last update for just over a week, i am going away for a bit. CNC laminate cutter. This thing can cut anything from card to vinyl to thin wood laminate. It can make boxes too Here it is loaded with white a3 gloss adhesive vinyl. This is the cutter. It is a tiny blade embedded in that black casing. You can turn the top to extend or retract the blade. For this vinyl i had it out 0.3mm. YouTube- CNC Laminate Cutter Here is a youtube video of the cutting process. After drawing the design in 2D Design, you then output it to the cutter and it does its stuff! You then end up with this. Here i removed the excess vinyl from around my shape so all that is left is the cut-out on its backing paper. This is a roll of low-tack transfer vinyl. You stick this ontop of the white vinyl and rub it on. You can then peel off the backing paper... ... leaving you with this. Here is a sheet of 5mm clear acrylic that i laser cut to the same size as the sticker i just made. Then carefully place the vinyl + low tack transfer vinyl onto the acrylic and rub it on with something hard. After that, peel off the transfer vinyl and you are left with this! Any guess as to what it is?
Edited for your amusement. @AJB2K3 - Godzilla Electronics Corp? Interesting that you should have access to one of those. I was just wondering if they could be used to cut gaskets the other day...
Yup you got it! Haha, my school uses them for teaching little kids electronics Oh Cheapskate I can't wait to here you on themodbrothers podcast btw. I was due to be on it with you, but i will be travelling at that time So excited to be on it with you and IandH though, I'm well annoyed! I don't think it could do the thickness you need for a gasket. The cutter is tiny, so I doubt it could go through it. I think the resistance would be too much as well.
Hi oliverw92, nice work so far! I really digg the 3D models you made, i can see how these help eliminating mistakes.. I really loved your last project so I thought I could subscribe to this one, too. Looking forward to your next update!
Thanks TotalGaos, yeah they are really useful! Hope this one is just as good as the last project Some of you may be interested in a recent interview i did for thebestcasescenario: http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/frontpage/?q=node/481 I talk alot about the planning stages of POLARity and it also says a bit about who i am
Nice interview! Personally I would use SolidWorks if I would ever design a case of my own, but that is probably because I learned that program in my school. Just never could understand a thing in SketchUp, lol! Interesting how much you've learned in, like, a little over a year. Great accomplishment!
