Case Mod - In Progress __FUZION__

Always happens to me

Last time it fell right in and got stuck so i could'nt shake it out as i went to pull everything out it all just got worse breaking connections i had made having to resolder, bending brackets and mounting points warping.

just for a single screw BAH!!

 

@DeadP1xels, Oh Nooos! I feel your pain.

This has been a busy week, so I haven't had much time for this build until yesterday afternoon. I made a plate to both manage and hide cables.

Each of the opening will have this Black rubber u-channel

 

I love the fan controller,the entire design is very clean,sharpe and sexy.
Great job Bill.!!

 

Thanks Dude! the GPU replacement should be arriving tomorrow, so I'm almost near completion!

 

I'm just curious as to why you would need to do those pieces manually when you own a CNC lathe?

 

I assume you mean a mill

Its all the fun doing stuff by hand it gets to the point where your manufacturing something if you mill it all, Like building a jigsaw instead of making

I guess its not really worth the effort starting it up either

Thats what i like about Bills work he has the access to this stuff but does most himself he could be cncing out fan holes and everything

 

Besides, a good mill or a vertical machining center is usually so expensive it's not worth spending time doing randoms bits and pieces.

 

Mill is normally tied up with production orders of our retail parts. and I still enjoy using a Drill press and hand files

 

This is looking so clean...love the blue.I just know this project is going to turn out sooooo good

 

Thanks for tuning and commenting Jeff

I installed the Blue Cold cathodes on front of the chassis to illuminate front bezel today.

This:

must be a very restrictive fan shroud

Frontpanel looks good though

 

Ooooo she pretty

 

@p0Pe, I was just talking with somebody about your PC-Beto, did you know PCWorld did a feature on our mods recently? here btw: not concerned about the restriction, It has 120mm Panaflo L1A intake fan as well (below).

@DeadP1xels, The replacement GPU never arrived this week. I was hoping to have the system finished this weekend.

 

Yes, yes she is!

 

*follows Bill's link...sees bear...

 

@GravitySmacked, Thanks for checking out the project and commening!

"Cheapskate's Teddy Bear" ...hehe ...can't blame them tho, everyone loves that bear....

 

Sweet Jesus.... that panel looks gorgeous!!! That cathode makes a fantastic ambient light!

 

Showroom main attraction eye catcher! Fractal design, grill, man! That top came out great as well, took some patience I'm sure. Beautiful job there Bill! Drool meter just broke

 

@phinix, Thanks dude! and your Phinix Cube project is very inspiring. I love watching all of the meticulous work you've done

@LooseNeutral, Thanks man! I'll have to show the grill to Hannes at Fractal design and mention you said that!

 

That front panel just looks. WOW!! I was right it's going to look awesome ...
