Thanks. No. At the begining i thinked in paint the rad, but i don't want to add another coat (or coats) of paint to it, It's perfomance, i think, its reaching the limit yet. And more paint could affect negatively to it.
You case reminds me of the good old days when I use to play WarHammer 40K. Looks like a tank and building in one. Nice mod m8. Time for a chears.
No, not an aliens movie! It's Outland, starring Sean Connery and Peter Boyle! ...so, do I win the case or something ...
What kind of temps are you getting with that WC setup? Oh, and as you know well by now, nice shuttle.
Very nicely done mod. The theme isnt much to my taste, but you have some serious skill. How did you do all the tiny details (especially on the top)?
Thanks to all for the comments. Marquee@Some pieces are from a Landraider tank qebrek@ That's the movie. One of my favorites od sci-fi. So a little tribute. DickH@Yesterday, after playing BF2 for a couple of hours the temps was CPU 45º and 39/40º the system/case sensor. I know they aren't wonderful temp, but for this case/mod i think they are quite well. Another rad could improve the temps. uwannabigmak@most details come from kitbashing mainly. Using part from anothers model kits or pieces from anything that can be match.
I had a Lan party this weekend. An oportunity to test my new project. I'm happy with the result. In add, i was interviewed for a magazine!! Real Lan party proof In the modding compo at the party, i won the first prize, A Sunbeam Chromatic Windmill with my Darkwater mod. The second place was to this mod of a forum mate. The next lan... in just 2 or 4 weeks (depend of my time )
Congrats on the win. I was looking at your finished pics and the rad sticks out a lot. I think you should of covered the rad the same way as the case in order to blend it in and make it look like part of the case. This way it wouldnt look so out of place.
BootUpBuddha@ You're a master Fanatik@Thanks. I didn't covered the rad in any way (the first though was to paint it) to not affect negatively the perfomance. I think it's in its limit, in this mod.In add a cover could make the mod even larger.
That finished product industrial/aliens [god i love that movie]/sci-fi look is killer. I like how you made the box shuttle not so much a box but have things jutted out from the main unit. Thats really nice looking. I'd hit it.
Got to love it, hey I notice you have a second shuttle, are you doing anything with that? Can I copy your idea for the port on the flap that holds the pci/agp card down?
Yeah. Is the Chii-EDPC project. Actually its a Epia board inside a Shuttle case. I use to share files with it and play with the "bigger" Shuttle. Both cases are easily transportables. Why not? Free modding! The fact is that i'm moving Chii's board into Darkwater case, because a i need Shuttle components for my new project (Lan Raider). I'll post some pics here this evening.
